Fuckc of my mention.
I wasn't the only one who watched it and testify it's a boring show.
Ozark is shitx I repeat.
No content... Nor be by to kill people anyhow for the starting of film na. De make am.sweet.
Even the main actor self is sluggish and boring...to watch.
Your opinion, based on skimming the first two episodes which in fact has nothing to make you feel or believe it's going to be a bad show...

So where you get this your assumption from?

Fuckc those hype this men put in here.


Ozark is shitz bro.


Wasted my time downloading episodes 1 to 6.



Had to delete it this morning.




Bro, Ozark is not shit. It's a well scripted, acted, directed, slow burning, crime drama. As is often the case with slow burners, it spends a bulk of it's beginnings developing the primary plot lines, secondary plot lines, character arcs, and so on. World-building is a very important part of storytelling. It can come off as boring, but it's the foundation of a story, and without it, a story won't have a bearing or reason.

I would advise you to be patient. Ozark is one of those shows that doesn't waste a scene for filler sake, or jump the shark. You might think that this so-and-so scene doesn't matter, that it's unnecessary, but I promise you, it matters. If you stick with it, every premised subplot that doesn't make a difference now, will make a difference later. Be patient and get through season 1, you'll be glad that you did. Cheers.

Three completely different shows.

Ozark is grounded, and predicated on real life.

Can't say the same for Manifest and The Society. Two good shows in their own rights though.

It is anything but a given that TV shows adapted from books must parallel their source materials to the letter. Oftentimes, TV shows are loosely adapted, in that they offer similitudes in premise, but very different in their mode of narration, characters, and plot lines.

I'm as of now half-way through the TV adaptation of Snowpiercer, and from what I've seen so far, it's an extreme deviation from the source material. There are a great deal of plot characterizing highlights from the novel that are either skipped or disregarded. I surmise the makers needed the show to be not quite the same as it's source, in order to stop people that have read the novel from ruining the show for viewers and potential viewers.

Hence, it's a misstep to pass judgment on a TV adaptation of a novel solely on the premise that you've read the novel. You may wind up passing up a much better story than the one you've read.
You are right in all aspects but I just love to see my imaginations come alive. I also forgot to add that as the main reason why I haven't seen the snowpiercer series and I also stand by my opinion perhaps if they wanted to deviate from the source material then i'd rather they give shows adapted from books a different name but they will always give credits to the books.

Lol, Utilizing a copyrighted material without following due diligence is a surest way of inviting a lawsuit on oneself. Legally, you can't use someone's work (even when they are loosely adapted), and not offer credit to where it's due.

Above all no suspense.....I struggled to finish episodes 1 to 3 while skipping it.



Until I said have had enough... No more..



It won't get better.















Jason Bateman bagged an Emmy for that role. He will reclaim the award again next month

Some people only like series were one man will kill 20 people without any scratch on his body, without any reasonable explanation for such strength.

you are right though but what am just trying to implement that they are all drama shows that lack much action ,, there is this drama show that will glue u to the screen and keep u wanting more , Ozark fell me in that aspect manifest and the society really got it

When I mean credit, I also refer to it's legality. Casepoint, Terry Goodkind's sword of truth series were also adapted for tv but with a different name and also the into the badlands series also inspired by a book with a different name, obviously one can't use a writers content without their consent.

I don't really know, maybe it's because i'm more entangled to books or it's just me but whenever I watch a series and it doesn't mirror the source material, I feel betrayed and I feel like I betrayed the books and the author's vision. This is obviously just me though but that's the beauty of art, it's subjective

who don watch cursed... currently in episode 3, a little bit boring but I like the concept, I go watch the rest later for night

You should read the book first to know more, there are same sex loving characters in it and if they really wanna adapt the novel to the latter.... Be sure to see gay characters but maybe not in the first season though. I would advise you not to watch if there will be conflict of interest because the book is really good and quite addictive. They love to ease viewers into loving the series before adding new characters
As for me, i'm not watching, not because of the gay characters but after game of thrones season 4, I swore never to watch a movie or series adaptation of a book. I'd rather read the books instead
So you won't even bother watching? What if it doesn't end like GOT.

Also one of the reason I haven't focused on watching snowpiercer full time,I've been stuck at ep 2 for almost a month. This is mainly because I watched the main movie last two or three months ago.

The dude said Jason Bateman is boring, you might as well go and watch commando or Rambo. Even better, Jason Statham is great!!!

Currently seeing LA's Finest, not too much of a show. But since I've watched the season one, lemme just follow for the cruise and the 2 lead characters.

He didn't win it sha, he was nominated, alongside Wendy and Ruth.

Ruth won best supporting actress.

This year, Wendy must win Outstanding lead actress. Ben will also be nominated for Best supporting actor and Ozark is the 2nd favourite to win Outstanding Drama series. Not forgetting to mention that Marty and Ruth will still get nominated. They will be swimming in Emmy nominations by the end of this month when the nominations are out.

And some people are yarning dust about Ozark? Something is definitely wrong with them grin grin

Ozark argument( my opinion)

Breaking bad was a slow burner but e dey learn work for where Ozark dey...
Ozark is a really really really really slow burner

Like.. I slept off the two different times I tried watching it
That doesn't mean it's not interesting
It's definitely a good show but you have to wear your armour of patience.
A very thick armour at that..

And also download subtitles, it helps with patience cos when you are reading them, you tend to follow up the series more..
