Anger ain't sweet

There have been many movies created that show anger as a bad thing, as something that should be taken as a threat. Although all of those reasons are true, there are many reasons for anger, many layers that have to be discovered to find the core reason for it. Anger can be generational, it can be a response from your internal monologue, and it can also be the impact of growing up in a home where nobody generally talks about their feelings. 'Beef' brings a spotlight to all of these things and narrates a story that shows the other side of the term 'Anger.'

'Beef' means feud

While 'Beef' is a slang word that means having a problem with someone. And although the term matches the plot, there is another perspective to it. 'Beef' also means meat, and this series also shows you how anger means 'meat,' and how consuming meat can bring satisfaction like yelling at someone does. How it fills a hole inside an individual and brings calmness to the self. And consuming meat in excessive amounts can be terrible for your heart, just like anger infuses high blood pressure, and sometimes a heart attack. But 'Beef' also explores that anger is a funny thing, we have so many complaints about people who are always angry and hate the world, but the series brings us to accept the fact that, anger - no matter how bad and how deep - can be unshackling.
