Love turns bitter and uglier in Season 2 of Beef, one of the best shows on Netflix this year | Review

Love turns bitter and uglier in Season 2 of Beef, one of the best shows on Netflix this year | Review

Published by Parlour News

Beef Season 2 review Cast: Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Cailee Spaeny, Charles Melton, Youn Yuh-jung, Song Kang-ho Ceator: Lee Sung Jin Star rating: ★★★★ Beef (then a limited series) appeared out of thin air on Netflix a few years ago and emerged as one of the most fascinating shows in quite some time. There was a wild unpredictability in its grasp of human behaviour that led the world to talk about it. Writer Lee Sung Jin is back with a new season featuring an entirely new cast. Divided into eight episodes, Season 2 of Beef is far more ambitious and populated, far hungrier to indulge. There’s no harm in that, since it delivers big time, even though it does not quite match the complicated brilliance of its predecessor. Still, there is a lot of meat to chew on in its sharply observed study of human behaviour that can turn from good to ugly in a minute. It is still one of the best shows you will watch on Netflix all year. Charles Melton plays Austin, …

Kerala Assembly polls 2026: Bitter battle for nine seats that can turn electoral fortunes

Published by Parlour News

One wall, three rivals: NDA, LDF and UDF candidates Padmaja Venugopal, Alankode Leelakrishnan and Rajan J. Pallan share campaign space in Thrissur, Kerala | Photo Credit: Najeeb K.K. Major three-cornered contests are happening in at least nine constituencies in Kerala that could even determine the final outcome of the upcoming Assembly election scheduled for April 9. Of these constituencies, Nemom, Kazhakkoottam, Vattiyoorkkavu, and Aranmula are in the southern part of the State; Pala, Thrissur, and Nattika are in Central Kerala; and Palakkad and Manjeshwaram are in North Kerala. While six of these have MLAs from the Left Democratic Front (LDF), led by Communist Party of India (Marxist), the rest are represented by the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF). Nemom in Thiruvananthapuram district is so far the only constituency in Kerala to have elected a member from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to the Assembly. Senior BJP leader O. Rajagopal had defeated K. Sivankutty of the LDF in 2016. Mr. Sivankutty wrested the seat back in the 2021 polls as he defeated …

​Bitter milk: On the Rajamahendravaram milk adulteration case

​Bitter milk: On the Rajamahendravaram milk adulteration case

Published by Parlour News

The events in Rajamahendravaram in Andhra Pradesh involving the mass poisoning of consumers by milk contaminated with ethylene glycol sound a regulatory alarm. As of March 8, the death toll was 11, with approximately 20 other people, including infants, hospitalised. The police have invoked Sections 103 (punishment for murder) and 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the BNS. The vendor allegedly continued to supply the milk despite complaints about a bitter taste and being warned that a coolant leak could be poisonous, so it seems reasonable that the State is treating gross negligence in food safety as a serious criminal offence. However, there could also be counterproductive effects. Milk is a staple in Indian households and contamination by an industrial compound already infamous in India for its lethality carries the potential to trigger a crisis of confidence in local, unbranded milk supplies. Children and the elderly are most affected by ethylene glycol poisoning due to their higher metabolic sensitivity and lower renal reserves, respectively. This could push people towards pasteurised milk from regulated …

2 min readFeb 14, 2026 04:54 PM IST The 3-2 win over the Netherlands in the Davis Cup Qualifiers may have been one of the greatest moments for India in their tennis history but for the Dutch, it seems to have exposed some fissures between the players themselves. The Netherlands had travelled to India without their top two players Tallon Griekspoor and Botic Van de Zandschulp. Griekspoor had been vocally critical about the Royal Dutch Lawn Tennis Association (KNLTB) and had refused to join the Netherlands team for the tie. Jesper De Jong, who led the team in the absence of Griekspoor and Van de Zandschulp and lost the decisive singles tie to Dhakshineswar Suresh, said on the sidelines of the ongoing Rotterdam 500 event that Griekspoor had “embarassed” the country. “You read that we played with a weakened team. I felt it was disrespectful. You shouldn’t embarrass your country,” he said. “I don’t speak to Tallon anyway. If someone treats his teammates like that, I don’t need to give them a hug.” De Jong …

New Zealand Cricket chief quits after bitter dispute over future of T20 in the country

New Zealand Cricket chief quits after bitter dispute over future of T20 in the country

Published by Parlour News

The boss of New Zealand cricket resigned on Friday after a long and bitter dispute with players and member associations over the future of T20 cricket in the country. The boss of New Zealand cricket resigned on Friday (Getty Images) New Zealand Cricket (NZC) chief executive Scott Weenink, a businessman and former first-class cricketer for Wellington, stepped down after just over two years in the job. A split had developed between Weenink and players, and member associations, over a proposed franchise T20 league that would replace the country’s domestic Super Smash. Tentatively named NZ20, the new league would target foreign investment and ownership, likely through IPL franchises and aim to attract top overseas players. It is seen by players and New Zealand’s six member associations as an important progression in the cricketing landscape — New Zealand is the only ICC full member nation without a franchise T20 league. Weenink was thought to prefer a New Zealand franchise entering the Australian Big Bash League instead. “After careful consideration, it has become clear that I hold a …
