Shows that feel likeBEEF (2023–)

A road rage incident between two strangers — a failing contractor and an unfulfilled entrepreneur — sparks a feud that brings out their darkest impulses.

If you loved BEEF, the closest series we have are Vice Principals (2016), Russian Doll (2019) and W (2016). All three share BEEF's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Gentlemen (2024).
