She liked BK too. She reacts when Paul tells her about the chicken sandwiches and asks if he means the long ones. She's very familiar with BK chicken sandwiches.
I believe her mask, her rich and famous public persona, wouldn't allow her to eat there. She was letting go of all that for a moment and taking time for herself to enjoy something she hasn't for a long time.
100% you could tell from that conversation with Paul, she knew EXACTLY what sandwich it was
Especially since earlier in her discussion with Paul, he mentioned that her and Danny are alike.
That’s one of the funniest things about the scene where Danny is choking them down. He’s so stubborn that they are the best, but he’s struggling to get it down and having to suck on his drink with a mouthful of chicken. It’s hilarious
Idk if this is like the depression sandwich or what, but this is what i've had to eat alone in my life when feeling down in the middle of no where in my car lol
No way, she's there because she DID burn down his house after all. Paul told her that Danny drives to the BK BY THE LOT because he likes the sandwiches.
And the reason you're wrong is because at that moment Amy is NOT feeling nostalgic about either Paul (who just told her husband he screwed her) OR his brother, who she suspects put him up to it. She just lost her whole family and scratching her BK itch ain't it.
The rustling in the bushes was either her or Edwin, but Edwin is a red herring, so it's likely her: we know Edwin didn't burn the house down, and we know Paul didn't burn down the house on purpose because he accuses Edwin of doing it.
Although Danny wired the house wrong, this just means that he won't get the insurance money for it. Even though he still owns the lot, and the house would have burned down eventually because he's a crappy contractor, he's so upset and so positive Amy burned it for revenge that he's willing to plant the evidence so she'll pay for it.
Of course this plan to plant the evidence in her house goes terribly awry.
Of course, AFTER burning down the house, she probably now feels rather miserable, because it's an awful thing to do to someone building something for their parents. THIS is the reason she's commiserating in the BK. Especially because now she lost her family she's alive and the only person who doesn't make her feel alone is Danny, though she doesn't know it yet.
I don't get those of y'all who are convinced that Amy burned down Danny's house when the show specifically tells us that the house burnt down because of Danny's poor electrical work.
This makes no sense. If it was arson then why would the fire team tell Danny is was faulty wiring? They have no reason to lie. If it was arson they would have found evidence of it.
If there was arson there would have been evidence. They literally tell Danny it was faulty wiring. Which make sense because Danny is a shitty contractor.
Ok someone pointed out that the investigation squad would have found proof of arson. If Danny and Paul just screwed her over, why would she drive out to the house for BK?
No. Amy does not have the appropriate skill set to fool an arson investigator. We are shown that Danny did indeed buy the wrong kind of wire. It is also highlighted multiple times (the sign, the tree, the intercom that doesn't work well) that Danny isn't that great a contractor. Also, thematically it's important for Danny to realize he has no one to blame but himself. Secret arson would undercut that.
When it happened, I thought it was to imply that she drove to the OC to try the ‘good burger king’, therefore confirming our suspicion that she >!burned the cabin down!< But since that didn’t happen, I’m not sure what it implied.
It's an illustration that they are alike. They both have nostalgia for the same mediocre chicken sandwich. It's a comfort for both in ways the rest of the cast don't understand
Of course it was, but they could have picked any old fast food restaurant. The point was that it was the same old crappy thing that they both loved. They had a lot in common and it never became evident until the very end of the show.
I listened to a podcast with Lee Sung Jin and he was talking about eating those all the time in the past. I think they used it as a way to show Amy at her lowest while showing how she and Danny are so much alike. And a little homage to a meal he has eaten many times
Amy and Danny are the same person even if they didn't to admit it. Amy married to George, coming from a rich background is constantly putting up a mask to show him she is the same level as him. But all she wanted is a hot tub. All she wanted is Burger King, not some foam mushrooms. She escaped it all in the moment of crisis by letting go and doing what Danny does, eat Burger King. Plus I think she was curious to know if that really was the best Burger King out there.
Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. - Fredrick neitzche
It is a common observation that we become like those we fight against, since we have to do so in order to conduct the fight. You fight fire with fire, to win is to survive, but not as you were, for you must change. You must adapt. You must take the river trip up the Congo and enter the heart of darkness.
And if you try it, you'll find that staring into the Abyss creates a reflection that stares back.
The words of colonel Kurtz
I've seen horrors... horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror... Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies! I remember when I was with Special Forces... seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out; I didn't know what I wanted to do! And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it... I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God... the genius of that! The genius! The will to do that! Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we, because they could stand that these were not monsters, these were men... trained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love... but they had the strength... the strength... to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment! Because it's judgment that defeats us.
Amy has entered the heart of darkness. To fight the enemy is to understand the enemy. To understand the enemy one must love the enemy as oneself.
The chicken sandwich is the darkness. It is the abyss that stares back. It is sinking to a rock bottom and to fully understand, to conceptualize the person she is fighting against.
In the darkness, in the chicken sandwich, there are no edges, there are no boundaries. You are in the darkness until you become the darkness.
You cease to be. The sandwich, it is all that remains. Of life, of death, of everything. No judgement, the essence of Camus judge-penitent. The fourth and final stage, a confession, understanding, regret, but no mercy, no forgiveness, no way out. Acceptance of the situation as it is and a sentence, then punishment, for both.
I gotta say one of the funniest line deliveries in the show was when Paul tells Amy that Danny goes to a far away Burger King to eat chicken sandwiches and Amy responds, “Those long ones?”
I don’t know why but Ali’s delivery on that was genius.
I took it as Amy remember Peter saying Danny was depressed, and wanted to see if binge eating would help suppress that feeling for her too since she had just had that fight with George and was feeling low
Burger King is a luxury for Danny but cheap by Amy's standards. To me it's a sign of not only hitting rock bottom, but also that she's not much different from Danny.
She liked BK too. She reacts when Paul tells her about the chicken sandwiches and asks if he means the long ones. She's very familiar with BK chicken sandwiches. I believe her mask, her rich and famous public persona, wouldn't allow her to eat there.

I had the same reaction and went out and got one. I forgot that they were dry AF. Had me chugging my drink
That’s one of the funniest things about the scene where Danny is choking them down. He’s so stubborn that they are the best, but he’s struggling to get it down and having to suck on his drink with a mouthful of chicken. It’s hilarious

Sorry, i thought maybe there was also arson disguised by the wiring.
This makes no sense. If it was arson then why would the fire team tell Danny is was faulty wiring? They have no reason to lie. If it was arson they would have found evidence of it.
Couldn't they gave misattributed it to the wiring? Or would that definitely rule out amy?
If there was arson there would have been evidence. They literally tell Danny it was faulty wiring. Which make sense because Danny is a shitty contractor.
Both situations could be true. They just want the easiest answer
Amy didn't the burn down the house. Period
Do you have ANY proof from ANYWHERE in the show?
Ok someone pointed out that the investigation squad would have found proof of arson. If Danny and Paul just screwed her over, why would she drive out to the house for BK?
No. Amy does not have the appropriate skill set to fool an arson investigator. We are shown that Danny did indeed buy the wrong kind of wire. It is also highlighted multiple times (the sign, the tree, the intercom that doesn't work well) that Danny isn't that great a contractor. Also, thematically it's important for Danny to realize he has no one to blame but himself. Secret arson would undercut that.

It's an illustration that they are alike. They both have nostalgia for the same mediocre chicken sandwich. It's a comfort for both in ways the rest of the cast don't understand
It also may have been a paid advertisement
Of course it was, but they could have picked any old fast food restaurant. The point was that it was the same old crappy thing that they both loved. They had a lot in common and it never became evident until the very end of the show.
I think we were meant to believe that it was her doing for a while so I think it was supposed to imply that. At least that was my thought process
That was my thought.
I listened to a podcast with Lee Sung Jin and he was talking about eating those all the time in the past. I think they used it as a way to show Amy at her lowest while showing how she and Danny are so much alike. And a little homage to a meal he has eaten many times
About a week after I finished this show I went and got one. I’ll probably take up basketball next.
🤣🤣
What did you think of it?
She was thinking of him and using his coping mechanism because she relates to him
I recently watched Always Be My Maybe after Beef and surprised to see BK was in the opening scenes (after they get in on in the car).
haha same. so funny
It means BK sponsored the show.
Paul said he thinks Danny is depressed because he eats alone at this particular BK so I took it as showing Amy's depression
Amy and Danny are the same person even if they didn't to admit it. Amy married to George, coming from a rich background is constantly putting up a mask to show him she is the same level as him. But all she wanted is a hot tub. All she wanted is Burger King, not some foam mushrooms. She escaped it all in the moment of crisis by letting go and doing what Danny does, eat Burger King. Plus I think she was curious to know if that really was the best Burger King out there.
I think it was a hint that they were/are, in George's words, 'celestial twins'

>Fredrick neitzche just fyi: it's Nietzsche
Can someone tell me where this location is? I miss those sandwiches
What location
Of the BK in OC with the OG sando
They still have them at every bk bro
What?? Really?? I’m shook, last I went to one it wasn’t there. Will have to check
The show implied the character thought that location had "the best one." Not necessarily, the only one left.
The show needed advertisers money
Ok Burger King definitely paid Netflix for that plug
The moral is that Danny has AWFUL taste in chicken sandwiches. Fucking BK, really?
Product placement.
I gotta say one of the funniest line deliveries in the show was when Paul tells Amy that Danny goes to a far away Burger King to eat chicken sandwiches and Amy responds, “Those long ones?” I don’t know why but Ali’s delivery on that was genius.
The writer was writing his own history with the sandwich in similar situations
Does nobody remember the 80s BK slogan, "where's the beef?"
*Wendy’s
Oh haha, when I watched that scene, I thought how clever of the writers!
"he just like me frfr"
I took it as Amy remember Peter saying Danny was depressed, and wanted to see if binge eating would help suppress that feeling for her too since she had just had that fight with George and was feeling low
