Steven Yuen’s acting was just phenomenal, especially when he was crying.

[@kissingcandy1]

Yeah I was crying with him.

[@beeanduato]

Yes!!! I cried like a baby with that scene!!!!!

[@amyitis]

I think with his character development he showed his range and humanity through his character. Loved it!

Steven is so humble, and he definitely deserved to be on TWD.

I was shocked by Ali's range. It made me forget she is a comedian but Vince Gilligan had always given challenging roles to actors of primarily comedy backgrounds and it works.

'Beef' shows real life extremes, with real emotional trials and class tensions. Best show of this century.

[@s.q.8614]

Steven Yeun will always be my TV heartbreak. If they can do a movie with an alternate ending where Glenn doesn't go out the way they made him go out in TWD, I'd go watch it. He doesn't age anyway.

[@joshuataylor3550]

All I see are his bulging eyes, caved in skull, dropping brains and babbling speech.

So true he really doesn’t. It’s that glowing skin

[@fiascochick3]

I wanted to stop watching after he died 🙁😪

[@s.q.8614]

@@fiascochick3 I'm considering rewatching it and pushing through the Glenn scene because I guess there's going to be a Rick spin-off? It just makes my heart hurt thinking that the writers made Maggie push through it too instead of allowing her to get revenge. 💔

So true. I literally could not watch that episode and stopped watching the show entirely after that.

[@allisonwatson5960]

BEEF was absolutely incredible. Went in with 0 expectations and came out absolutely in love with the humanity and imperfection and anger that’s apart of life that most people deny these days…so in love with them and hope there’s more to come! ❤❤❤
