Resident Evil also tells its story years into the future, where Jade is surviving a world that's far more dangerous than the one we saw her younger self in. Unfortunately, the T-Virus is still in the picture, and everything goes haywire once the girls go on an ill-advised trip to dad's office after hours. They've got a new drug to market to teens, called Joy. It tells its story in two halves: first, with young Jade and Billie Wesker accompanying their father Albert to New Raccoon City, where he's to work for the rebuilding Umbrella Corporation. CaseyĬast: Ali Wong, Steven Yeun, Joseph Lee, David Choe, Young Mazino, Ashley Park, David Choe, Patty Yasutake, Maria Belloĭivisive out the gate - you'd expect for a video adaptation that pivots to the Young Adult sector - Netflix's Resident Evil is still a fantastic series. And, somehow, BEEF found a way to make guns funny. We love BEEF not just for these outrageous performances, but for the bizarre moments that Lee Sung Jin finds as he explores mental health, class differences and the Asian American experience. All while Amy's incredibly eager to sell her business and Danny's financials are in dire condition. And while their anger is seemingly infinite, it's also somehow hilarious.īeef takes on every single fad in sight, from crypto trading to the weird things rich people pay for. This A24 series stars Steven Yeun as Danny, a contractor who just so happened to be on the wrong side of a moment of frustration with houseplant business owner Amy (Ali Wong). Rage is best served in a binge-watch of Netflix's BEEF, a dark comedy about that space inside of helplessness where anger blossoms.

That said, I somehow actually watched it all in a weekend, and came out the other side amazed. Maid swings back and forth between heartwarming energy and bleak moments that will make it difficult to binge. Her mother Paula (Andie MacDowell, Qualley's real-life mother) doesn't help at all, as she's the most unstable person in this story, and often takes Sean's side. Trying to make it on her own, Alex struggles to find work, and has to settle for being a maid.
Alex (Margaret Qualley, in the performance of a lifetime), is trying to escape an emotionally abusive relationship with her husband Sean (Nick Robinson), and take her young daughter (Rylea Neveah Whittet) with her.Īnd she does so in the middle of the night, in the first of many chaotic moments. If you haven't seen Maid, but can enjoy TV when it's rivetingly tense, you need to open your eyes to one of the best shows on Netflix. While co-star Rhea Seehorn, who plays Jimmy's friend and colleague Kim Wexler, wasn't one of the original main cast members, her performance became central to the series.Ĭast: Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, Michael McKean, Jonathan Banks While the series takes its moments showing moments "after" Breaking Bad, it's all about the moments that send McGill into the wrong side of the law. This Breaking Bad prequel/spinoff focuses on slick, shady lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), but it begins back when he's small-time lawyer Jimmy McGill - who doesn't work with or for the drug cartels yet. So, if you've never started Better Call Saul, now's the perfect time. Originally airing last year on AMC - where cord-cutters couldn't get it - Better Call Saul is one of Tom's Guide's favorite shows in recent memory. With Better Call Saul season six's recent arrival, one of the best shows on Netflix (heck, one of the best shows of the last decade) is finally complete.
