Netflix busted me! One episode of Ozark

left and I couldn't help myself, I watched it when my husband was at work, thinking I could get away with it

Little did I know that Netflix sent an email to the main person on the account (my husband) saying, "now that you have finished watching Ozark, here's something else you might like"

Busted!

Away with much. Yet, here we are with a president who was obviously very good at it. He probably would have gotten away with it if it was just him and his family..no pics, no recordings, no emails, etc.

3. I tried to get into that show, but it seemed to stereotype everyone as "Deliverance"-type

figures... It just seemed so darkly dependent on the worst meth-head ignorant "redneck" type depictions, I couldn't get into it--even though I like a lot of the cast. Got through the first three episodes and didn't see it getting better.

Different strokes, I guess.. (maybe I just have a soft spot for rural Missourians) but...

8. You have to get past that part.

The show does a nice job of giving you a trope and then digging deeper into who the person really is. There are a lot of revelations in the "redneck" types that has a lot of depth. And the "big city" types, too.

Thinking probably 2 ... how are later seasons? First one was pretty good ...

5. The second season is the one currently playing and it's at least as good as Season 1...

...if not better. If you liked the first season, you'll love the second one...

11. I always like shows like this more at the beginning, when they are still "normal" people

Who are first getting involved with something dirty. Breaking Bad another example. Scripts are always written to make things worst and darker and darker over time. Guess that’s real world, but I think it’d be more interesting to see something less predictable. Aside from that, I think Jason Bateman is a great actor...in love with him.

6. I spent almost every summer at Lake of the ozarks... and a few times in the winter too

I never found anyone like the locals depicted in the series.

but then, this was in the 1960s and 1970s.

Now... Tablerock and Branson OTOH...

anyway... it's sort of like Breaking Bad goes to Missouri.
