Ozark (2017 – 2019)

A slow-burning descent into darkness.

I didn't get the chance to follow this faithfully during its original run, and after years of putting it off, I finally decided to give it a go this week.

Few shows can grip you the way Ozark does from the first season. From the moment Marty Byrde relocates his family to the Lake of the Ozarks, the show establishes itself as a compelling, relentless, and anxiety-inducing crime drama with a hint of moral dilemma. The signature blue tint adds a cold, almost suffocating vibe that perfectly complements its tense atmosphere.

Jason Bateman, better known for his comedic roles, delivers a surprisingly compelling performance as Marty, an accounting wiz and money launderer for a drug cartel. His restrained, logical demeanor contrasts beautifully with Laura Linney’s Wendy, whose transformation from reluctant accomplice to ruthless power player is one of the show’s best character arcs.

Yet, for all its strengths, Ozark isn't without its flaws. I knew it was a slow burn, but the pacing was uneven, some conflicts dragged on far too long, stretching the show across four seasons when it could have easily wrapped up in two. The writers seemed undecided about what to do with certain characters, especially Charlotte and Jonah, one minute, they’re integral to the main plot, the next, they’re sidelined. And I have to say, Julia Garner’s Ruth Langmore might be in my top 10 most hated TV characters. Something about her just didn’t resonate with me. Her tough girl act wasn’t fooling anyone, or at least, not me.

I have a theory that TV shows today become too good for their own good, leaving writers confused about how to end them. More often than not, they pick the worst possible conclusion, especially when the show isn’t pre-planned in its entirety from start to finish. Season 4 had a certain vibe like they were going to mess it up and they did. Instead of a cathartic resolution, the series finale was frustratingly ambiguous, leaving more questions than answers. Some character arcs that took years to build were abruptly cut off, making the payoff feel hollow.

Still, Ozark is a solid, tension driven crime thriller. It doesn’t reach the heights of BB, but it holds its own in the slow burn, morally complex crime drama subgenre. As for replay value? That sour S4 makes it hard to say. But overall, it’s a good show.

7/10.

I'll say every series these days have poor replay value and that's partly because we the viewers have a lot on our plates to start rewatching something we've already seen.

Gets better with each new season. One of my faves 📌

Good point. I genuinely can't think of a show rn even from yester years, that i can sit through again, from start to finish just because of the sheer amount of new media available to see and i still have to cover 😩.

DieRich5:
Then came you 7/10

How difficult can it be not to keep mistaking Raigru for Ragris

abduleez1:
Same. Movies as well.

It's only when them kids are rewatching some films I've watched before where I just give some minutes glimpses I get a chance to rewatch movies or series.

The Batman which I consider one of the best cinematic movies in the 2020s that I watched In a cinema, to rewatch it now is a problem despite downloading it in 1080p for premium experience for rewatch since 2022, I never get chance see am again. Cos I could easily use that time to watch something new in my ever growing watchlist.

oyaskii:
Maannn...You are on that same hype run Brother Kaycee7 was on with Arcane last year that got peeps on here so spooked, with Solo Levelling 😩.

Left it at S1, tempted to come back to it, because it's all you have been talking about for weeks now....
