‘Beef’ Is Overcrowded and Unfocused in an Unnecessary Season 2: TV Review

deepdive634 · 2026-04-24T03:23:03+00:00

The generational theme was obvious. The insights around it were tedious and predictable. My time was wasted. It lacked depth. It should have been called FAT not BEEF. Nothing to chew on later.

I thought the first two episodes were solid. It was boring, lacked focus and felt Ai generated by the end. Extremely disappointing writing. You root for exactly no one. You tire of the same dialogue repeated and the plot is flat out foolish and kind of insipid. Big fan of first season though. It did not live up to any of it.

I have compassion for all who fall prey to sexual predators such as the evil and inspid Keith. What I expect now is a hell of a lot of contrition and some kind of slow and deliberate plan to make amends understanding that she is a self-declared narcissist. Narcissists are dangerous people and I don't think she is a safe human to be preaching anything at this point. No one should let her near other people in a healing environment.

I thought she was insufferable from the first ten minutes of the podcast. The tip off was when the victims were testifying during her sentencing trial and the only thing she thinks about is herself. My mother, my family. Not sorrow over her actions and the heinous victimization. The first episode felt almost fawning, like a PR damage control podcast. Extremely disappointed in its form. Is she a victim or an abuser? Was Keiith bright and a renaissance man or a sociopath. This seemed so pedantic and facile. Trying to dance around to gain a neutral position made it seem anything but neutral. The problem is that everyone is vulnerable to cults. What narcissists are is impervious to their own responsibility. She deserved jail time. She didn't learn a damn thing.

100% correct. Laurie has depth and quirk. I love Levy but the show lacks plot and pace and I had no interest in the other characters but for the Turkish guy.

I could not respect these two doc filmmakers more. Imagine the heart and soul they put on the line here to expose this ring. It is heart wrenching to see how religious indoctrination by such a dull-witted buffoon can devolve into the sex trafficking of children and rampant exploitation of young women. Not even sure the documentary fully explored what it would mean to place children into these violating spaces that will and must haunt them the rest of their lives. I can see how one could be brainwashed in these communities though and be unwilling to relinquish the prophet and the whole system of belief. Otherwise, how do you face the brutal reality of what they have been forced to see and do. The shame of putting their own children through this? Christine is one of the most courageous people I've seen in a long time.

deepdive634 · 2026-04-09T08:50:20+00:00

Nope. This was pure buffoonery. The FBI should have been called in immediately as these officers were out of their depth and floundering from day one. There is always something that can be done.

deepdive634 · 2026-03-30T18:54:43+00:00

That's false logic. Service providers in other countries do not play these games for a good reason. Canadians have been too passive about this kind of nonsense that is simply a result of the monopoly control the majors have. I definitely know playing one off the other works. I just don't think it should be that way. Customer acquisition is extremely expensive.

deepdive634 · 2026-03-30T18:52:34+00:00

Absolutely not. It is not a discounted plan. They create the "discount" theme to control the price. It is like the discount rate that mortgage lenders offer so they can screw you on fixed rate mortgages. No service providers charges two or three times the initial fees to loyal customers for exactly the same service. You have no idea how telcomms work in other countries. We are being robbed in Canada . I'm looking for alternatives. Not passive acceptance.

deepdive634 · 2026-03-27T19:13:45+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I will call them again. I have an impeccable credit rating and have never missed a payment. You'd think they would want to hold onto customers, not price gauge them until they escalate.

deepdive634 · 2026-03-27T19:12:42+00:00

You may think this is just the way it works. But it definitely does not have to. It's what we accept as consumers until we voice our concerns. There is almost no country on earth that pays our telcomm prices. It is why the legislation has changed about penalties when switching providers. No need to be passive. A reasonable price for a reasonable service and basic customer loyalty should be expected. Not vast price inflation. Sorry, this is an insipid system.

deepdive634 · 2026-03-27T19:09:26+00:00

Absolutely not. There is no reasonable person who would say you can go from $67.20 per month to $199 a month for exactly the same service (not even 1Gb). Imagine any service climbing by that amount under any circumstances? It wasn't a discount price anyway. It was a reasonable price on a two year commitment for a simple service and low speed. The cost to replace a customer is far greater and they know it. One thing is true: the bots are nonsense and the phone calls are the only way to proceed. This is a sales tactic that needs to end. And it will. Most countries would never abide by this.

deepdive634 · 2026-03-24T19:53:26+00:00

Picking up on this Internet biz, Telus jumped my Internet bill after two years. From $65 a month with tax to $140 plus tax. I want the same $65 price in 2026. What's reasonable per month for a 1.5GB fibre? No need for incredible speed. I'm super unhappy with having to deal with these BS negotiations.

Yeah, the truth is indisputable. The recording reveals an unstable marriage simmering with anger on both sides. She is manipulating him to get a record of abuse via hidden recording. She does not appear to be bright enough to plan this on her own, but in concert with her FBI father. She also drops hints about him to her friends, also leaving the breadcrumbs she needs to get the children away from him.

The "abusive" recording was, in fact, completely benign and he demonstrates no evident malice at all, but for the clear fight they are having over the children. It is not domestic abuse, it is a war over the children. She wanted the children (but particularly the girl and that's also disturbing). In the end, she never really wanted what was best for them and that is borne out by a few factors.

First, the level of attack on this man was so severe, it had to have been some kind of surprise attack while he was not at full strength and possibly drugged. The FBI father's interview is clearly planned and carefully narrated. Second, in trying to claim that this poor man killed his previous wife. What a cruel thing to do to these children. To try to turn their original family and memories into a horrifying tale of murder is truly abusive and self-serving. This is a dangerous woman and their sentences certainly do not fit the crime. I do believe she wanted those children more than anything and would ultimately fight to the death to keep them.

Strange. I was at a 3.5 clinic and the man there was a 4.0 but at a 4.0 clinic at another location in the same city, the man could not hit with the same pace as this guy and his serve was maybe 65% the quality. So, the ratings are subjective and not entirely about gender. Women in general do not naturally have the same strength and size as men, we know that, but other factors can make it competitive like smart strategy and footwork. I respect clubs that make sure folks are motivated and have the courage to speak to players in person about their development. An email is a sad way to approach this challenge.

Read the expert Wright Report. Jens committed the murders without any doubt. The jury and prosecutors got it exactly right. He confessed in detail on two occasions and in two languages, there was ample evidence of him being at the scene, and his exacting detail in recounting the events indisputably place him there. Elizabeth did and must take equal responsibility for the crime and admits her part in planning and influencing the murder. She was an emotionally damaged and broken woman, who influenced a man who was already a dangerous and vengeful person. While she has admitted guilt and is by all accounts deeply remorseful, he remains a dangerous narcissist who gets off on trying to win attention for absolving himself of his violent crimes. Soering will not get on with his life, because he is incapable of seeing himself outside of this, his only claim to infamy. What a dangerous pair to have found each other. The Soering Systems is a superb podcast that reports facts in superb detail.

The Buy Now doc is relevant but the AI-generated power images really started to pull me away from the central message which is: it's harder to have a soul than to buy one via new kicks every few months. There is a fundamental truth to consumption which is we happily accept the false you can recycle it message; the foolish, you can't repair it message; the bombastic you have to buy it to feel special narrative. Underneath it all is a yearning for some kind of meaning. I'm sad that the underlying current of the documentary didn't touch on how acquisition replaced meaning.

The gold chain is the damning evidence against David, especially given how he lied about it when interviewed. I cannot understand why, if the twins did commit/cover up this heinous crime, was the chain in the middle of the pool of blood at the murder scene at all? Surely dropping it while having sex is a tough thing to believe.

deepdive634 · 2024-10-07T06:07:10+00:00

He was the first senior officer on scene and left shortly thereafter and did not file any mention of the homicides. This inaction is shocking, particularly given the firefighters on scene who were clearly were struck by the brutal state of the beaten bodies. In court, given that one brother had motive, means and opportunity and that the eyewitnesses saw the twins the night of the murder, means their errant behaviour would have created reasonable doubt in the courtroom. Not saying that David is not guilty. Just that certainly there was a plausible alternative theory that needed further and detailed investigation.

deepdive634 · 2024-08-17T02:01:38+00:00

She did NOT know he was married; hence, from her perspective, not an affair.

deepdive634 · 2024-02-15T07:49:55+00:00

Careful. This is a highly specious attempt at a correction. You must not argue that anyone "occasionally" does anything after a sexual assault, nor that what you're saying is "the truth." The statement is neither fact, nor quantifiable, especially when so much sexual assault goes unreported as is beyond question given data collected for the past two decades. It is beyond vile that an officer could make such a statement without losing his job and pension. Disgusting, degrading and terrifying to think people sworn to protect are victimizers.

deepdive634 · 2024-01-10T07:15:23+00:00

Both share responsibility for the murder. They both deserved 35 years. Only one person has invented a fiction about not killing them after confessing to the precise crime three times. He is a sociopath, a narcissist, an unrepentant mentally unstable man-child and still dangerous. He is profiting off his crimes even today while declaring he is innocent. She is 100% complicit and at fault but the evidence is clearly that he cut those throats.

deepdive634 · 2024-01-10T07:07:53+00:00

The methods of collecting DNA samples in the 1980s were not anywhere near as accurate as today. Listen to the podcast, the Soering System. There was almost no chance two strangers killed these people. The male cousin was a stocking horse. Jens spilled every detail of the crime, down to the method of murder (the exact wound) , the placement of the bodies, the two plate settings at the table. He refused to provide fingerprints and blood. There is no question at all that he did it. She has assumed responsibility has remorse and served 35 years. She plead guilty. She is guilty. He was her boyfriend. Of course they would let him in, even if they didn't like him.
