Ozark

I know it hasn't been long since it ended but I already miss Ozark. This show absolutely, without a doubt, lives up to all the hype it gets. It's a gripping thriller where the tension continues to build throughout each episode and each season and then pays off in a huge way. It really is a must watch show. People like to compare it to Breaking Bad and while I don't agree with that comparison because BB is the better show, Ozark is still terrific and worth every second. The one thing I can't stand about this show is Laura Linney's character (Wendy). While I don't mind Linney as an actress, because she's a pretty good one, in this she plays an annoying know it all who doesn't appreciate anything. Again, it's not her fault, it's just the way her character was written and as annoying as she was it still doesn't take away from the fact that this is such a great show.

Ozark is pretty much what you'd expect it to be. Its a pretty tense what-is-he-going-to-do-now type of storytelling that makes it easy to binge-watch.It also holds your attention as Jason Bateman plays a similar kind of character as the likable anti-hero keeps falling in trouble.Similar to breaking bad but also quite different.

I enjoyed the entire journey. I watched so many things go wrong and so many things go right. And THAT'S how you end the season finale of all seasons?! I'm so disappointed.

Still give it a good rating though cause it's about the journey not the destination. But the destination was incredibly disappointing. I will just go lie down and stare at the ceiling in a state of depression now.

The best way to describe Ozark is that it's just a flat out awesome show and a must watch! I'm so glad that I did finally start watching it because it's become one of my favorite shows of all-time. Everything about this show is excellent...the acting, writing, directing, production, cinematography, etc. Are all as good as it gets. The acting is so good that you really come to care for these characters and what happens to them even though they're not exactly the best human beings possible. I can not overstate just how good this show really is. It's one of the rare shows where every season is just as good as the others. The only negative would have to be the ending. While not the worst ending ever it's also not very good. It doesn't mean the show wasn't worth watching because you'll have fun for the majority of it but a little disappointed in the ending.

In the gritty world of crime dramas, "Ozark" shines as a beacon of excellence, delivering a masterclass in tension, storytelling, and character development. With its dark and brooding atmosphere, impeccable performances, and intricate plot twists, this series is a rollercoaster ride that you won't want to end.

Jason Bateman's portrayal of Marty Byrde, a financial planner turned money launderer, is nothing short of extraordinary. His ability to seamlessly switch between charm and menace is a testament to his acting prowess. Paired with Laura Linney's captivating performance as Wendy Byrde, the power couple at the center of the chaos, the chemistry between the two leads elevates the show to new heights.

What sets "Ozark" apart is its unflinching look at the consequences of criminality and the lengths people will go to protect themselves and their families. The moral dilemmas faced by the characters are palpable, and the stakes are always high, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.

The supporting cast is equally impressive, with standout performances from Julia Garner as the cunning Ruth Langmore and Tom Pelphrey as the troubled Ben Davis. Each character is fleshed out with depth and nuance, making the tangled web of alliances and betrayals all the more compelling.

With its intricate storytelling, impeccable direction, and haunting score, "Ozark" is a true gem in the world of television. It's a show that demands your attention and rewards it with richly layered narratives and heart-pounding suspense.

In conclusion, "Ozark" is a must-watch for any fan of gripping drama and intricate character studies. With a rating of 9/10, this series cements its place as one of the finest shows on television today.
