Title: Ozark
Review: This show is like Crack……not great for you, but hard to stop. Bateman takes on a real departure role and Linney is her usual stellar self, playing a couple up to their eyeballs in trouble with Mexican Drug Cartels and sinister lawyers- and trying to lead a normal family life whole avoiding an ever present grisly death sentence. Very snappy dialog and very complex and sometimes confusing story Ines, but hard to take your eyes away from the mayhem. Can’t imagine who is left standing at the end of this show. The Ozark setting is unusual and well filmed to capture the nuances of the area and lifestyle. Linney is a pure sociopath in sheep’s clothing and Emery as the sinister and bat shit crazy Darlene is hard to resist. You’ll need a scorecard to keep up with the casualties on this one. Fourth and last season is on the way. Harris Yulin is brilliant in season one as the curmudgeon, Buddy, who comes with their house.
