In episode 2 of Netflix’s “Beef,” Oscar Isaac‘s character, Josh Martin, starts jamming on his Moog synthesizer. He’s not good at it. “It’s really amateurish,” Oscar and Grammy Award-winning songwriter Finneas says.

In season 2, Josh is the general manager at an ultra-posh country club. His wife, Lindsay (Carey Mulligan), picks out fabrics and seems discontented with life. When young couple Ashley (Cailee Spaeny ) and Austin (Charles Melton) catch them in an all-out argument, the lower-income Gen-Z pair suddenly find themselves with some leverage to blackmail and create a new “beef.” However, the power dynamics here are more complicated, especially as things start to unravel, and the class and generational divide become more apparent.
