A Netflix series with an impressive 98% Rotten Tomatoes score is being called one of its best-ever shows.

The streaming platform has garnered quite a reputation when it comes to releasing original content.

From Orange is the New Black to The Queen’s Gambit, Netflix has plenty of TV shows that have received critical acclaim and accumulated huge fanbases.

One such show has been branded ‘must-watch’ by viewers, with some insisting it’s ‘Netflix‘s best original show of the last five years.’

On social media, one fan raves: “I’m blown away. One of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. Amazing performances all around.”

Another adds: “It’s been a long time since I had this much fun watching a Netflix original.”

“The show is a perfect blend of humor, excitement, and tension. It’s a definite winner for Netflix,” a third person pens.

Agreeing, a fourth viewer says: “This is Netflix‘s best original show of the last five years.”

“Sorry, but nothing compares to this show right now,” gushes someone else.

The comedy-drama series, created by Lee Sung Jin, follows Danny Cho (The Walking Dead‘s Steven Yeun) and Amy Lau (stand-up comedian Ali Wong) as two strangers who engage in a prolonged feud following a road rage incident.

The Netflix original has scored 8/10 on IMDb and 7.7 on Metacritic while receiving a huge wave of praise from critics.

For The Times, Camilla Long pens: “This is a nerve-jangling, synapse-zinging ride into madness, and it’s great.”

IGN Movie‘s Tara Bennett adds: “It’s funny, it’s harrowing, and it’s exceptionally original in portraying two damaged people who find their mirror selves in a random parking lot dust-up.”

Beef, comprising ten episodes, received a staggering eight wins at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and acting wins for both Yeun and Wong.

The comedy-drama has been billed as a limited series, however, Lee says he always envisioned it to be an anthology, with each season following different characters.

“That’s why the finale is self-contained,” the director tells Deadline. “That being said, if the fans demand it, I’m not opposed.”

In an interview with GQ, Lee adds: “We initially pitched this idea around town as a limited anthology, so that was always our design. That’s why the story is pretty close-ended.

“So if it doesn’t happen, then I’m pretty content because we always wanted the story to end the way it did. But at the same time, if things change and there’s some great groundswell from people demanding more Danny and Amy from Netflix, I’m open to that as well.”
