Ozark

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.

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.

The first season was GRIPPING and by the first couple episodes so much had already been established in terms of development, suspense, and thrill. I loved Micheal and was rooting for his cause so that by the time season one ended I was ready for the same amount of quality, but to my surprise it slowed down considerably in season two, the whole season dragged on and although it was entertaining to watch it felt like there was a lull in the pacing. Whereas, in season one, by episode five we already had many over-acrhing plot lines, in season two there seemed to be too much a straight path for what the actions where going to be making it predictable.

Season two definitely had its surprising moments, but compared to season one is palled in comparison. Finally season three everything went downhill and there was no more suspense for me it felt like the show just dragged on and the characters lost their lustre and relatability. They had made terrible choice after terrible choice that I no longer cared what happened to the byrde's.

Overall it's a great show, with amazing acting from the whole cast. Jason Baetman did a fantastic job with the show, but unfortunately it succumbed to Netflix's plague of dragging on.

I never would have watched this if not for the quarantine. It wasn't promoted well. I LOVED IT! Great script, tons of action and characters that you love to hate and hate to love.
