Ozark

Sometimes we forget to watch something. Everyone tells us about it, and we hear over and over how good it is. We honestly just plain forget, until we need something new to watch, because we're stuck inside the house like dummies. Then we start scrolling through and notice the one that we haven't watched. 

We watch it. Then one or two episodes in we start wondering why the crap are we just now watching this. That's the story behind this week's show. I'm late to it. I'm late to most everything in my life, so get over it. Better late than never, right? This week, one week before its season 3 release, we're discussing Ozark.

Show Notes:

• [01:03] Ozark comes to us by way of Netflix. Watch it now and you can finish season 1 and 2 before season 3 releases next week.
• [01:20] You just need to know that this show is dark. It's dark, it's bloody, and it's dark.
• [01:33] How can anything with Jason Bateman be anything but fun and comical and a little bit nerdy? If that's what you're saying to yourself, you would be wrong. He's not Michael Bluth from Arrested Development.
• [02:36] This show is that good. You will be hooked. Jason Bateman is so good in this. Laura Linney plays his wife. She's so good too.
• [02:54] I think what makes these two actors so good in the series is that they both looked so normal.
• [03:12]  I don't know how they deal with the stress in their lives. They have to launder $50 million and then $10 million will go missing, and they'll have to come up with the other $10 million in like 48 hours. I don't understand how their organs aren't shutting down.
• [03:43] You're not going to want to watch this when the kids, mother-in-law, or ladies group are around. But you are going to want to watch it. 
• [04:01] Turn the subtitles on when Jacob Snell is on the screen. I was personally raised around rednecks, and I still can't figure out what he's saying half the time.
• [04:09] I'd give Ozark 4 Spanx. 
• [04:21] I like my shows dark and heavy. If you're trying to decide between this and The Walking Dead. Try this. If you're trying to decide between Ozark and The Big British Bake Off, I doubt this one's for you.
