Ozarks - new Netflix series

[SpursforSix]

Comes out on July 21. The previews look pretty good.
Jason Bateman and Laura Linney are great though. Will definitely give it a shot.

[SpursforSix]

This was pretty good. 7/10

[Reck]

The synopsis reads pretty lame.

The whole family is in on it and help. Blah. Boring.

And what's with every episode having a blue hue or tint to it?

[Thread]

I don't do Netflix, but you're right:::Bateman always lights the screen. And you're right as well on Linney.

And what's with every episode having a blue hue or tint to it?

It's nothing groundbreaking but it's good. The tint isn't throughout the whole thing. Anyway, that's pretty normal now for crime dramas. Especially all those British/Scandinavian ones. But they are for the most part very good.

[Blake]

First episode was intense and got subsequently more boring each episode after.

My question was if you're gonna live like that, in an average home in a podunk hillbilly town, why not just go to the fbi and do the witness protection thing

Did you finish it? It definitely did not get boring every episode until the end.

As to your question, my guess is that he thought he could see himself clear and have a regular life after he was done washing the money. Although that has some flawed logic as well since he acknowledges that they are going to ask him to do more.

If I was put in that position, I'd have a hard time not taking the $8,000,000 and trying to disappear. Which reminds me of how unlikely it was was for him to talk the rednecks out of taking the money in lieu of $20,000.

Anyhoo...I enjoyed it and will watch the presumed 2nd season. Hillbillies vs. Cartel

[Blake]

I'm about 6 episodes in, falling asleep on it.

I'll try to finish out

[Venti Quattro]

6/10, two episodes in, but willing to give it a chance

[InRareForm]

It was okay. 7/10

it got me to want to catch the next episode so the show did it's job. Show was a bit clumsy, forced jokes, average acting, etc....

[leemajors]

I watched the first ep, the body didn't bounce and I was disappointed.

[JMarkJohns]

Overreach. Too much peripheral drama. Overly complicated.

Was hopeful. But it's awful.

[Xevious]

I liked it. At no point was I bored and it kept me wanting to watch the next episode. I can't ask for anything else.

[Pavlov]

Just got around to watching it. I kind of like the idea that it looks like Marty is getting a reputation of a ruthless killer without actually doing anything. It's not a particularly plausible story but Bateman has come a long way from Teen Wolf Too. I'm glad it has 10-episode seasons. They can supersize episodes if they need to. Will keep watching when season 2 drops at the end of the month.

[Spurminator]

I might give it another shot, I stopped at episode 4 the first time through. Wasn't getting into it.

[Pavlov]

I can see how it won't appeal to everyone. It self-consciously has to differentiate itself from Breaking Bad while still having a pretty substantial Venn diagram overlap. I do like that Marty is the nexus of all this criminal activity but only in control of a small part of it. The Langmores and Ruth in particular look like they will be wild cards in what has to be a very different season 2. Will be interesting to see the cartel presence there.

[Reck]

The color they're going with throws me off. I dont like it.

The blue hue kills me. It's too dark and I dont mean storywise.

[BD24]

Season 2 drops soon? Nice.

one of my recent favorites.

Bateman definitely carried the show tbh, solid acting. I think 10 episodes is perfect for a show like this and wish the Marvel Netflix shows would do the same thing. I'd rather have 10 tightly paced episodes than 13 with subplots that don't go anywhere or don't pay off when compared to the amount of screen time that it eats up.

[DJR210]

I can't understand why Bateman lands so many leading roles tbh

[Blake]

I can't understand why Bateman lands so many leading roles tbh

He's an executive producer and director of this show

[DJR210]

He's an executive producer and director of this show

Well makes sense for this one

[SpursforSix]

I think he's produced several of the movies he's been in. Bad Words for sure. Which was pretty funny.

[Xevious]

This is probably one of the most interesting roles Bateman has done. In everthing else he just plays himself.

Even in this he still somewhat plays himself. It really works for this role though.

Probably gonna finish this up Season 2 soon enough. I'm calling SPOILERS going forward for anyone checking this thread.

[Spurtacular]

I like season 2 on the whole so far; but Charlotte casually telling Wyatt that she put the money in the walls? Come on. Lazy writing there.

Yeah...I'm through 4 episodes and really enjoying it. Seems like the first season was a little slow at times which has not been the case for Season 2.

[Spurtacular]

:lmao Russ and Three are total cuck Blake level characters.

[SpursforSix]

Just finished this last night. Liked it better than Season 1. Maybe one dud of an episode but otherwise, it was great.

Season 3 out.

[ChumpDumper]

Thought there might be a chance the story would get out of hand as business got bigger like Weeds, but no such problem. Writing and acting are really top notch, Linney and new addition Tom Pelphrey with some really meaty parts. Will be bitterly disappointing if it's not renewed by Netflix where this season ended, but that seems a remote possibility.

You already finished it? I’m several episodes in and I think it’s really good so far sans the side plot with Wendy’s brother and the son.

[BD24]

Finished season 3 over the weekend. Really enjoyed it.

I saw Chump say it might not get renewed? If so I’m curios as to why, it can’t be a popularity issue.

SEASON 3 SPOILERS********



Mixed thoughts on season 3. It was really good except for episodes 6-9 that were primarily dealing with the annoying ass bipolar brother that you knew the second they introduced him would be a big problem they had to end up killing. I wanted more cartel war action, more mob/mafia interaction. Shit, even the basic money laundering casino stuff. Seems to me they didn't have enough material for hte main plot so had to play up the annoying brother subplot.
Good season overall. But episodes 6-9 I found myself fuckin on my phone waiting for bipolar guy to hurry and get got.
The finale was :toast:toast:toast tho.

I just finished episode 9 and was going to come here and post about how fucking annoying the brother is. Glad to hear the finale is better though.

[ChumpDumper]

I liked the actor who played Ben from Iron Fist so I was enjoying his acting more than thinking how annoying the character was (since that was kind of the point with Ben). It's great how each of their admittedly shrewd schemes to get out of shit situations cascade into worse problems with higher stakes.

The acting for the role was definitely amazing, I just think it dragged on too long to arrive at the same conclusion for Ben that everyone knew into was going to arrive at all along.

[ChumpDumper]

As for the acting, his crack-ups were pretty extraordinary. I can't believe someone could yell "NO" that many times without at least once slipping into Episode III Vader.

His depiction of someone with bipolar disorder was amazingly accurate, maybe even better than Claire Danes in Homeland. Convincing himself he didn’t need to take his meds, the manic episodes, profusely apologizing after having an outburst, etc. Captured all the elements.

[Spurtacular]

If I didn't have so much HBO going I would've hit season three on day one. Might not be 'til summer I get to watching it.

This new season is really fucking good.

Once I started watching I finished it in three days. Under different circumstances it may have been a day or two.

It was damn good. Though I thought they were gonna end the season with that heavy tension like in season one. I wasn't expecting that abrupt happening.

Agreed on the ending. I paused it to do something and saw their was only 4 minutes left at one point. Literally said to myself “how the fuck are they going to wrap this up in 4 minutes”. Question answered lol

Ending was basically made for a show that might not be renewed. Obviously would be incomplete but wouldn’t be the worst TV show ending ever.

I'm assuming that 'Ozark' is a high grosser (high viewer ratings) for Netflix. I would tend to discount this theory at least on that basis.

The only other problem would be actor retention. And since Bateman is probably really the only one holding that card, I doubt it cos they'll work around whatever shooting schedule he wants.

[Spurtacular]

Netflix has not confirmed the next season of Ozark, and is unlikely to announce another season for at least a month. However, Ozark Season 4 could be coming next year according to its makers, who say they have already planned out another two seasons of plot for the Netflix (https://www.newsweek.com/topic/netflix) show starring Jason Bateman and Laura Linney.

...he's come a long way since "Little House on the Prairie."

He lights a screen like few are able to.

I didn’t know that. LHOTP. I do remember him having a good role on a sitcom playing a smart ass teenager. He was funny in that. Just checked IMDB for the name of it (It’s Your Move). But talk about grinding a career out until you make it.

Yep. Loved him in that Starsky & Hutch movie.

Kept his nose clean & to the grindstone. Does not insist on any billing placement. Just works.

Handled that role in that goofy "Juno" with extreme aplomb and thus carved out a place that eclipsed the nonsense.

He's the goods.

I watched some episodes of that back in the day; but I didn't know that was him.

My first solid memories of him were on 'Valerie's Family,' then renamed 'Hogan's Family'. I thought he was really good on that.

I know. I didn't know it was him either until I started watching the show again during this crisis. His part comes during the last season as he's orphaned with his little sister via a wagon accident. His parents are crushed to death in what is an incredible set piece by that NBC production. Though it begs the question as to why the wife/mother had to sit in the wagon with husband/father as it was being eased down a steep grade. (SNAP) went the ropes & woo daddy.

Yeah...I've always liked LL and they gave her some heavy material this season.

It's funny...I had it in my mind that it was a 12 episode season. So I was even more surprised when Episode 10 happened.

[MultiTroll]

Jason Bateman and Laura Linney are great though. Will definitely give it a shot.

Just started it. 1st ep was great. It's getting to be a stretch how they keep things going but it's a t.v. show, so....
Like getting the Hillbilly family with know criminal daughter to give up the 3 million. Please.

If this ends up sucking I will bend you over with a shotgun.

I don't that anyone who likes the first few episodes will be disappointed. It's not Breaking Bad but it's in that big second tier of good shows that depend on your particular likes.

Agree, pretty good. I'm up to mid season 3. Meanders too long on a lot of parts, others the conclusion of a character is much too short ie uber prick Cade Langmore. His offing was too short. I was hoping they would have had Ruthie kick his ass after he abused her for the millionth time.

Darlene Snell and Wyatt Langmore? For the love of gawd that is almost as bad as Thread and Nancy Pelosi.

Ozark to End With Season 4; Final 14 Episodes to Run in Two Parts

“A super-sized season means super-sized problems for the Byrdes,” Ozark star and EP Jason Bateman said in a statement. “I’m excited to end with a bang(s).”

Chris Mundy, who will return as showrunner, added, “We’re so happy Netflix recognized the importance of giving Ozark more time to end the Byrdes’ saga right. It’s been such a great adventure for all of us — both on screen and off — so we’re thrilled to get the chance to bring it home in the most fulfilling way possible.”

[MultiTroll]

Shooting has began, two weeks into it.
Jason Bateman says of the ending "We do land the plane in a very satisfactory way.."

Yeah he’s solid. I like him as an actor.

He was in Banshee (this show has come up a lot lately:lol) and Iron Fist. lol might want to finish the last 8 episodes of Ozarks but the Wendy character is such a turn off for me. Barely passable the last 2 seasons but I don’t think I can stomach her to carry a season.

No idea why they decided to back seat Marty in favor of the wife and lawyer lady on s3.

[MultiTroll]

Ben.
If you take what he says (like if you could read it in text) and not how he says it (usually really angry and off his meds).....

He's spot on. Like when he confronts Wendy and Lawyer lady (separately). I don't want to spoil in case Reck has not caught up.

Which BTW, yes Reck S3 can and does meander at times, but all in all the plot most def keeps moving. When done you will want to see S4.

Didn't feel like discount anything to me. I think it's top shelf.

[spurraider21]

have 1 episode left of season 3. the dude who plays Ben (Ward in Iron Fist) is an outstanding actor

[spurraider21]

also, Ruth Langmore is literally just Jessie Pinkman

season 1 felt like discount breaking bad.

I've watched all of the episodes and this is how I feel about the show as a whole. But still good enough that I'll keep going back for more. Straddles the line of good TV and guilty pleasure.

Nah. But they turned her into a version of a Mary Sue in Season 3.

I mean from the standpoint of she has all these abilities for which she shouldn't have them.
And she only took a beating for a story device; so that that dude could get his dick blown off.
That was sensationalism writing in its own right.

she's the existing small time crook who runs into the big time crook protagonist and suffers as a result of that relationship (which has some parent-child dynamic to it), while also acting as something of a moral compass of the show despite not being a perfect character

A lot of the chatter and teasers dropped around S4 are Ruthie "coming into her own."

[MultiTroll]

...series star Jason Bateman put it, it could be sooner than expected given the current state of COVID-19 vaccination efforts.


"As far as when it's gonna come out, it's really going to be reliant on, you know, if we can stay in production," Bateman explained. "This sort of this race, the whole world is in between vaccinations and these variants. I mean, basically, it's going to get to us a whole lot quicker now that Joe Biden's got his hand on the wheel. It would have would have taken longer with the last administration, so I think we're gonna get it to TV sooner thanks to Uncle Joe."

Ozark is certainly a series that is better seen unspoiled imo.

Apparently their marketing people are going to continue to drag it out. Strictly speculating i think they may try to make it a Christmas time release. Possible Covid has wreaked havoc with the schedule too.

A bummer to me is only the 1st ep of S4 is being released this Friday.
Does that mean only 1 ep per week? That is gonna blow, rather see the whole season (or at least the 1st half 7 eps all at once.)
Oh well, better for discussion purposes i guess.

Quote was...easy to find 1st one, did not have to shuffle thru more recent ones.

For some reason i thought Ruth was also tipped off that $$$$ was in Buddys. No?
Only Charlotte?

It's definitely going to play into the plot.
We'll see how soon (or not) Marty and Wendy return from Mex Cartell creeps. Assuming very soon so they can launder / casino again but who knows. Frank Cosgrove has already shown he can and will blow up a casino so i don't see how he can now be Byrdes staunch enemy / Darlenes new business partner and not blow it up. I forsee Frank getting wasted soon but again, we shall see right.

Final 7 eps released.

[lebomb]

I tried to watch start watching the series over again, but it’s like every episode is the same. What I saw in season one is the same thing I’m seeing in season four. It’s gotten kind of old. I’m moving onto a different show.

[spurraider21]

its a middle class breaking bad. the only really compelling part of the show is Ruth

[BD24]

Tough crowd in here. It’s one of the best current shows in my opinion. Bateman is fantastic in it as well tbh

[Xevious]

I enjoy the show and will see it through... but it absolutely is a Breaking Bad Lite.

This.
Even tho I'm not overly thrilled with S7 so far, i still watched it pronto.
Bateman did an excellent job of the viewer wants to see what happens next.

[spurraider21]

you cant convince me that Marty Byrde even approaches Walter White when it comes to being a compelling protagonist. Ruth Langmore is right there with Pinkman. havent thought too hard about it but wouldnt really get mad if someone said she was a better character than Jesse Pinkman

[ChumpDumper]

Marty is interesting because the more batshit this predicaments, the calmer he gets. Walter lost his shit semi-regularly then got it back together. Waiting for Marty to completely lose it and kill a bunch of people or just move into Michael Corleone territory and have a bunch of people killed.

I agree with both of you.
OTOneH Marty in an interesting character.
OTOtherH he needs to lose the robotic calm more often. He finally told bitch ass bully Omar to f off over an issue. Soo overdue and the way it's written Omar and Javi need to be told again big time.
The constant bullying by Omar and his fucktard younger cousin/whatever Javi is, needs to end. Ya ya they have to show them as the bully cartel members for effect. It's just wayy overdone and due to cease. Stop glorifying these two phucks. Major writing hole imo.

And pretty sure they both will get their comeuppance by the finish. Hopefully Ruthie gets to dust the waste of oxygen Javi. As to Queen Omar, have him sit in jail pouting the rest of his life and have all of his threatening orders from jail intercepted. :lol

[SpursforSix]

Finally caught up with Season 4. I like it OK. Enough to stick it out for the final episodes. But it gets more ridiculous every season about what this family from Chicago accomplishes.

And I like Jason Bateman but one thing that really struck me this season is how terrible a liar Marty is in the show.

[MultiTroll]

Season 4. I like it OK. Enough to stick it out for the final episodes. But it gets more ridiculous every season about what this family from Chicago accomplishes.
Same here. Some of the phony critics and media are ohhhing and ahhhing over Julia as Ruthie and her angry "I'm going to killlllllllll youuuuuuuu" as if it was some acting for the ages.
I found it super forced, not believable and high schoolish at best acting. I realize the production had to do it all under Covid restrictions so props to them on the effort.

But, all indications are they are going to build on that and she will storm off looking to kill Javie. She's pulled mega acting parts elsewhere after Ozark so, whatever.
Some have speculated that the featuring of the young actors in S4 (Johah, his sister) is keeping it open for future spin off shows that continue the Byrdes and that may be why we see a lot of them in S4. Again, whatever.

Lets just hope it ends satisfying. Bateman claims they gave the ending much thought and it will satisfy.

Yeah...that scene with Ruth was a little cringey to me. I tried to watch Inventing Anna based on some decent reviews but it wasn't my thing. Although she was fine as an actress.
But if the whole rest of the season is based on her going after Javi, it's going to get even more ridiculous. I hadn't heard that about a spin-off.

[spurraider21]

and as another breaking bad analogy... javi gives off somewhat similar vibes to lalo from better call saul (obviously much less measured)

[ChumpDumper]

I tried to watch Inventing Anna based on some decent reviews but it wasn't my thing. Although she was fine as an actress.It's very Shondaland to be sure, and focused way too much on Clumsky's character for my taste -- in contrast to The Drop Out, also based on reporting with a female showrunner. They were pretty soft on the grifter when all was said and done. Garner was really good though.

Yeah...agree. Garner was excellent. She's one of the reasons I stuck it out for as long as I did. And yep...there was way to much focus on the reporter. I'd have much rather seen more background on Delvey. Maybe it's because they didn't have much more material than they had. I'm assuming a lot was assumed anyway.

[MultiTroll]

Did a quick preview in prep for the final 7 eps.

Couldn't stomach another scene with Javi the new cartell ultra dooshe. Assuming he will get smoked soon.

Omar saying to Marty go ahead and have Javi put away. Was that a deceptive head game or what's up?

It's very Shondaland to be sure,

It's not so much the boredom for me, it's just that it lacks any believability. The central characters behave in ways no human would ever behave in their situations and get away with it. I don't know if it's bad casting, bad writing, or all of the above.

The two central characters, Marty and Ruth, are treated with a level of credibility, trust, and authority that they never earn on screen. Marty is constantly depicted in scenes with murderous druglords stuttering his way through lie after lie with the worst possible body language throughout and continues to get let off the hook for no other reason than to keep the story going with its main character. The show can't decide if it wants Ruth to be tough, cold-blooded and ruthless, or to be a lovesick everygirl who cries all the time and tries to convince a rival cartel leader to spare Darlene's life because her cousin loves her. Either way, she's not believable as a character or as an actress.

Without going back and rewatching other seasons, I can't even remember what Marty and Wendy are trying to do. Take down the cartel for the FBI? At this point they are too high-profile, and everybody from the local officials, the US government, FBI etc know what Marty and Wendy do. How are they not in prison or dead by this point? Just how would they expect to get out of this situation scott free?

And Wendy (who was bad enough already) has gone completely bat shit.

Just more head gamey Sopranos ending type shit, left up to the viewer to finish how you'd like.

Also keeps alive a spin off, altho that could have been done 7000 different better ways.
As CanStinkUpEveryting noted, the established actors almost always want more loot therefore a potential spin off could revolve around much lessor pay demands like Charlotte and Jonah.
That is exactly what happened with Sopranos final season, why all the lame story lines around AJ and to a lesser extent that fine ass Meadow.

Myself i think Ozark is done but never underestimate crap tv magnates moves.

Nothing to say they can't come back alive in another series, but appears the $$$ train is over.
Ruthie has so many following her post Ozark projects, indeed Chumpie and SFS were twitterpated while discussing her acting in Anna over cappuccinos at Oil Can Harrys. So i think she wanted out.

Great idea and good 1st couple seasons.
General consensus is 4 I and even moreso 4 II blew. So many different better ways they could have ended it. The f was up with bringing and giving soo much time to worthless Javi and worthless Mom.

That was crigney to be sure. I don't' think I ever said she was a great actress (though she might be). But in inventing Anna, she was very good.
I'm surprised she's got two Emmy's tbh. It kind of reminds me of one of Reese Witherspoon's early roles where she played straight white trash.

Just found the name..."Freeway". It's a good movie.

I thought the same thing at first but it turns out that was how the real Anna talked. Some weird affectation between English, Russian, and German. There's a ton of articles about it.
Supposedly, Garner got it right. Even though it's distracting if you didn't know it was accurate. They probably just should have made her do a straight Russian accent because at first glance, it looks like bad acting.

[Xevious]

That ending was disappointing to say the least. But I'm glad it's over. I won't feel obligated to watch it ever again. Ozark is a hard show to describe to people. I enjoyed it while watching it, but never missed it between seasons, and I had a hard time even remembering what happened from one season to the next.

They obviously could have finished the series in under 7 episodes but decided to add a second part for no reason. There are so much padded scenes for time in the second half is just insulting.

Darlene and Frank Sr ditto.

Frank Jr gets blown away by Darlene after a super forced 30 second argument that came out of no where.

To your point, the show gives TONS of time to newcomer fucktard Javi yet just glosses over long established themes.

And yes that obnoxious phuck Mel with the super bad Columbo imitation. How the cast his nose so easily imposing his ass on the Bydes etc....pathetic.
You caught the lame Sopranos style ending too. I guess everyone did.
Ohhh ohhhh are supposed to talk about whether he killed Mel or maybe shot his mom or dad in anger.

FFS. Great show start that entirely sold out.

So this was the series finale?

I don't know if it was a joke or what about the Byrds now being big shots but always still driving the minivan and the '89 Oldsmobile sedan
hey hey according to Marty that Odyssey is the top ranked SUV on the market!

That ending was disappointing to say the least. But I'm glad it's over. I won't feel obligated to watch it ever again. Ozark is a hard show to describe to people. I enjoyed it while watching it, but never missed it between seasons, and I had a hard time even remembering what happened from one season to the next.
its discount breaking bad

they killed off Del for shock value and i think they never recovered from losing an actually compelling character. the lawyer was never a good substitute in season 2. and then navarro being on wendy's speed dial and them having casual conversations never made any sense given his position. javi was discount lalo salamanca
