I had a fantastic chat with Lee Sung Jin about the second season of BEEF, its eclectic origins, and its unexpected images. He also talked at length about his personal journey in the TV industry. newyorker.com/culture/the-ne…

The creator of “Beef,” Lee Sung Jin, discusses tailoring dialogue to Oscar Isaac and Charles Melton, the differences between Korean and American élites, and making TV in an age of “all-gas, no-brakes capitalism” in an interview with Inkoo Kang. newyorker.com/culture/the-ne…

I'm heartbroken by the Post's decision to eliminate its books coverage. The actual fact of my job aside, the existence of a standalone books section felt like a real celebration of a culture of literacy, dialogue, and even debate. It was a place to discover and celebrate.

Our TV critic picks the 10 best shows of the year. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Y6…
Inkoo Kang retweeted
Recent shows about the ethically challenged rich have emphasized their characters’ personality disorders along with the trappings of the high life. ” ‘Your Friends and Neighbors’ flips the formula, to unsatisfying effect,” @inkookang writes. nyer.cm/1i4oF6H

“If Hollywood still can’t resist telling stories about itself, it can at least strive for honesty about its flop era.” @inkookang writes about “Hacks” and “The Studio” and the guiding ethos of the two insidery show-biz series. nyer.cm/dPax83n
Inkoo Kang retweeted
The first season of the Tudor-era drama “Wolf Hall” ends with Anne Boleyn’s decapitation. Season 2 ends with Thomas Cromwell’s. “The six hours of television between those two deaths are riveting,” @inkookang writes. nyer.cm/tUaJA52
Inkoo Kang retweeted
The new FX/Hulu miniseries “Dying for Sex” has a morbid, somewhat off-putting hook: a woman with terminal cancer looks to get laid while she still can. But the show is “also something of a Trojan horse,” @inkookang writes. nyer.cm/kG2tFRF

“Dying for Sex,” the Michelle Williams-led series about a woman seeking erotic fulfillment amid a terminal diagnosis, starts off as an unorthodox comedy—then deepens into something far better. @inkookang reviews the new show. nyer.cm/B8qP1CC

“The Pitt,” a new Max series, is built on nostalgia and predictability. “It’s structured such that you know you’ll have your heart broken and mended several times per episode—it’s just a matter of how,” @inkookang writes. nyer.cm/9xumf8w
Inkoo Kang retweeted
This season of “The White Lotus” is “not quite dark enough to confront what happens in a country where foreigners can buy nearly anything they want for the right price, nor frothy enough to showcase the baroque weirdness of the wealthy,” @inkookang writes. nyer.cm/ZFKOflU

The new season of “Severance” seems to pull back from bleakness, losing itself in abstract ethical conundrums and rote emotional ones. “It’s far from a dissection of work and life as we know them; the incisions are only skin deep,” @inkookang writes. nyer.cm/pzgSdji

I had a good time on It's Been a Minute, being very cynical about what it means that we keep killing our daddies on TV, alongside the always-brilliant duo @inkookang and host @bmluse. You can listen here:

This year was an exceptionally weak one for television—until the arrival of a few late, great contenders. @InkooKang shares her picks for 2024’s best shows.

With the new HBO comedy “The Franchise,” Hollywood gets the “Veep” treatment. The two shows are “united in a bone-deep cynicism that can be unexpectedly invigorating,” @inkookang writes. nyer.cm/corzpve

In setting, subject matter, and theme, “Say Nothing,” stands “refreshingly apart from most other American programming, and its longitudinal account of political disillusionment makes it one of the year’s finest shows.” @inkookang reviews the FX drama. nyer.cm/FAjqzDe
