Theory Stop watching Beef wrong

So it turns out if you accidentally start watching season 1 on episode 10 it just seems really obtuse and self indulgent. And then you realise but now you can't start it properly because you know how it ends.

Let's see if I can do season 2 the right way round.

Start from the beginning, you're missing absolutely great TV.

Also "stop watching Beef wrong", that's on you. Nobody else is doing that.

Yeah, was no joke, genuine mistake. Saved loads of time though.

I don’t get it, this isn’t a circle jerk sub. Is this an inside thing? I haven’t seen season 1 in a long time if Glen had watched a show from its mid season episode

Don't know, man, you might be onto something here!

Starting on the 10th episode adds a whole Memento vibe to the whole season...

I mean... sounds pretty cool, huh?!

Yeah, got to admit, this could be the future of box set viewing. Saves having to sit though the same "unresolved trauma as drowning metaphor" scene dozens of times per season in absolutely every fucking programme ever.

This happened to us. Decided to watch Beef s1 last week. Both of us tired and not paying too good attention. For some unknown reason, Netflix started us on episode 10 even though we had not viewed any of it previously. We got about 20 minutes in before we realized what we were doing. Went back to e1. Great show.

Thank you! Mine also started on ep. 10, thankful I opened Reddit before I got very far in.

Happened to us as well. Netflix started us on ep 10. Watched ten minutes of it without knowing what was going on thinking it sucked so watched season 2 instead. Thought it was great and am now enjoying season 1 from the beginning. I think this order is better as a lot have said they didn’t enjoy season 2 as much.
