Is Ozark The Next Breaking Bad?
Attention all Breaking Bad and Bloodline fans. Ozark is the series you have been waiting for.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of screening the entire series and could not stop. It was the series I didn't realize that had been missing ever since Breaking Bad had its swan song. Now, Netflix will help all those lost souls who for years just could never fill that void.
Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of amazing series out there. The issue we have in this day and age is choosing and prioritizing which show to watch. So, let me tell you this. Drop all other shows on your list and bump this to the top. You wont regret it.
For those of you that have never heard of Ozark here is the quick and dirty.
A Chicago financial advisor Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman), who has been quietly laundering money for a drug kingpin, must quickly uproot his family and move the operation to The Ozarks, after his partner is caught cheating the business. There, he bumps heads with both a local drug dealer whose business he inadvertently interrupts, and a clan of ruffians, led by their 19-year-old niece, who want his money, all the while avoiding the eye of a tenacious FBI agent. He must complete his laundering, to save the life of his family, as they struggle to find their own path in this seemingly foreign way of life.
