[TV Series Review] Ozark
Hello, Geekzz,
In this post, you will find my review for one of the best TV shows for 2017. If you are fans of Breaking Bad, this TV drama is perfect for your taste. Dark, Violent, Explicit and generally Terrific! So, without further ado, let's start with the review.
- My personal review
- Some good pictures from the show
- My personal rating
**The Review**
In case you were wondering, this series is as good as Breaking Bad. That's not to say it's a copy. There are some similarities, but it's not deja vu. It's similar in that it's as well written - everything that is shown matters, the characters both the good and bad are interesting and there is a real involvement in the story which is unpredictable and captivating. It's different enough - it's money laundering, not meth making. And the location is a lakeside community in the Ozarks. And the whole family finds out pretty soon. From Episode 1 the viewer gets drawn in. In fact, it's so good that the last episode of Season 1 is as emotionally draining and scary and exciting as anything in the later seasons of Breaking Bad. A true successor to Breaking Bad in quality.There are some points where Ozark completely goes off the tracks and catches you off guard, and it is this aspect that I love so much about the show.
I was surprised to see that this drama had Jason Bateman as a lead because I always had seen him in comedies in which he excelled, i.e., Arrested Development.That being said I watched the first episode just to see if it could grab my interest. The next thing I knew I had binge watched the whole season. Explosive almost out of the gate and, like a good book that I could not put down, this series was something I could not stop watching. Now I regret that because I have to wait till next year to see what happens next.
Few shows leave me saying WOW, especially after the first season, this one did. Netflix has done a good job on several shows, they just moved the bar higher
Jason Bateman -(a.k.a Martin 'Marty' Byrde) - The father
Laura Linney - (a.k.a Wendy Byrde) - The mother
Be warned: Ozark is not family friendly show, as it has a multitude of graphic violence, nudity, mature language and sexual themes. Not for children! However, I'm giving 8.5/10 rating for this Original Netflix production.It blows me away and I'm sure, that you will not regret the invested time in this new show.
