Just finished marathoning and really really enjoyed it. Finale had some moments that were chilling as fuck desu

Now i have nothing to watch.

Also what the fuck is wrong with the black agent, its like its his first time acting, hes stuttering and shit and completely incoherent

Every single Ozark thread is a shill thread for some reason

My mother is really into this show. I was surprised to hear Jason Bateman is in a serious show, I've literally never heard of him being in anything that isn't a comedy before now.

>>85482868

Most of his roles thus far have been bit pieces on obscure shows. He also has a recurring gig in Mercy Street and Power. As he gets more comfortable in front of a camera I imagine the quality of his acting will improve.

>>85482995

I suggest you watch The Gift, it is probably his most memorable 'serious' role.

>>85483134
Thanks, I'll check it out.

DUDE BREAKING BAD IF IT WAS A VOLVO COMMERCIAL LMAO

The whole point of the "dude" meme is it's supposed to be something short. You typed way too much.

>>85483224

Ozark's pacing is appropriate in the context of the show. Breaking Bad was 75% filler and 25% watchable scenes.

>>85483423

you're right, there is something strange about her.

Only on episode 3 but this shit is pure Kino. Fucking so good and I'm very impressed that Bateman could pull off a serious role and he directed most of the episodes. Very impressive.

Also this show shouldn't really be compared to Breaking Bad, it's only similarities is Mexican cartel and middle class working family man in too deep. But unlike Breaking Bad, in Ozark the charscters knows the risk and the dangers but still chose the life in order to help the kids.


Such a shame there isn't more threads on this, best original from Netflix since Bloodlines.

>>85486029
There have been quite long threads about this but the problem often with Netflix shows are that people watch them in their own time rather than once a week so you can have big threads and on-going generals.

>>85486285
Either way it deserves more atrention. Everyone I have introduced to the show say it's amazing. It doesn't treat it's audience as stupid either.

Also it's just a good show in general. No bullshit pandering from what I have seen and i like it's use of hanging on lots of the scenes, looks very stylish.

What is with these kinds of shows and always having an absolute garbage human as the mother.

>interracial gay FBI couple and one of them seduces a closet faggot

I'm somewhere around episode 5 right now and while I'll follow the season to the end, it's no particularly good. First and foremost, the Soderbergh style writing ... and also long stretches of "this is how the system works" monologue-type exposition. Like those idiotic movies where Margot Robbie explains something to you in a bathtub, you fucking idiot. It's really surface level stuff where everything comes off some sort of magical charisma resolution aka lack of character development so you never know how someone's gonna react to Marty's verbosity. Not that other characters aren't verbose, it seems even the simpletons have some deep seated cunning that will make them willing to actually listen to those overwrought sentences.

And of course it's a very small place that's fleshed out in a way that just doesn't make sense. Too much stuff is going on for it to be even remotely viable. Dukes of Hazard offered a more coherent outlaw scene.

But the only thing that really irked me so far is the killing with the syringe. These kind of hitman/commando style scenes really stoop the series down to comic book level writing / scening and fuck any immersion they were going for just because the manchild retard writing the scene thought it looks cool. It's Vince Gilligan level shit flinging after BB season 2. Don't fucking jump the shark before you get in the water.

>>85487145
All of them pretty big plot points. Do you know what bullshit pandering even means when talking about tv show?

>>85487342
How would you propose to kill a guy who's known drug user in a way that gets cops off your back?

It was pretty good, except the homosexuell scenes. Stomach turning and disgusting.

>>85487480
In a plausible way

Oh and the show's premise, a money launderer whose partner dissapeared lifting 8mil and going to the boonies is something of unique retardedness.

>>85481579
I didn't even know about it till a friend mentioned that he was on episode four on monday. Ended up finishing it up yesterday. I liked it and hoping to see season 2. I wonder what that crazy FBI agent will do next.

>>85487488
I had to laugh at that. You already have a cuckold main character, a criminal mastermind mary sue teenage girl, a "dont slut shame me, its 2017" 15 year old who fucks a chad and a black FBI agent.

Did it really need gay penetration on top of all that?

I have never seen somebody fail so much at imitating Jennifer Jason Leigh (who at least fucked a lot on camera).

Peter Mullan's accent still as bad it was in Quarry, I see

It was pretty good, especially the homosexuell scenes. Inspirational and arousing.

Ticks all the boxes, really

oh

Le steamy fag passion but one fag is sort of evil even though he wants to bring the protag down for a good reason so it's not really gay propaganda we might even have a mitzvah gangster later on show

So is it an american thing(not shitposting) or is there another good reason for the old man letting an unstable sociopath kid keep an assault rifle?

>>85481579
Just finished it, it's decent but it's got nothing on the work of based Vince.

I thought it was pretty dumb the whole thing started because Del suspected they were stealing just because Bruce was quiet, then he stops caring about his missing man Garcia at the end because of a read on Marty also I'm pretty sure a cartel doesn't just "let it go" that you likely killed one of their guys like there's no way they don't kill Marty there.

>>85490533
So the kid can kill the evil people and cover that part of the viewer demographic

don't blame me, didn't even know this show existed, i mean how could i

It's good but I got tired of the photography after a while. It's too blue.

>>85491420
>It's too blue.

I think I just blue myself.

>>85491007
>it's got nothing on the work of based Vince

Why are people comparing this to Breaking Bad? Because it has a cartel in it? The other is a serious prestige drama, the other is a comedic drama. Ozark is a Ray Donovan-tier show and that's fine. Not every show has to reach mythological dimensions of fiction.

>>85482868
That casting choice was intentional hes clearly a rookie whos not only intimidated by the implicatioms of the job but also his slightly unhinged partner, on top of that his emotions about their previous engagement cloud his every move >>85483055 this is also true, hopefully as he gets more comfortable and his arc develops he'll become more watchable

I wish she didn't have the face turn. She was great in the first few episodes as a sociopath, head of family, criminal.

It's okay. But I find the characters to be a little implausible. I'm in episode 3, and it made me cringe when batemans daughter hits that dope. It's been distractive that the characters are paper thin. Why should I care what is happening to them? Anyone else feels this?

I like the plot and twists tho.

>>85481579
I'm only 2 eps in but I like it very much so far. Been crushing on the blond cutie since Americans, and Batemen's always felt like he deserved to be an A or B-lister instead of an ensemble straight man.

My only problem/not problem is that the dialogue is just too clever. There's no fucking way that normal people in the situations they're in would be able to come up with this shit. That said, it's like a verbal 5000-piece puzzle being put together in front of your eyes and ears with each conversation, so it's still really entertaining to watch.

This show is pretty fucking kino. Didn't think it would be much, since I'm used to Bateman in comedies, but he's really holding his own.
Production is top notch keeping the cold corporate tone of Chicago somehow alive in the Ozarks
Hope normies don't go anywhere near this and ruin it like they did Breaking Bad

Also at episode 7.
Every episode so far has been entertaining and makes me want to watch more. I hope it keeps the pacing up

watching the finale right now. so far it's stupid as shit.
just tell the mexican guy to get rid of the old fart, his wife and the ash dude. that's it, done.
also, why the fuck did Bateman tell his family to leave, if he went to the redneck with a plan of how to calm him down, which seemed to work (this part wasn't clear, because the old fucker is uncapable of talking straight)
so the whole scene in the house with the kid with the gun and the old man coming to rescue is undercut by the fact that the whole situation was unneccessary.

>>85498118
So, like every movie involving buying guns?

>>85498155
I just expected better

>>85498192
So did your parents.

It really covered the feel of central Missouri, my favorite scene was in the beginning when bateman is driving through the town and sees a giant billboard with a baby that said 'thanks for chosing life'
I remember seeing all kinds of shit like that when I used to live there

I watched the entire first season. Mildly entertaining, unimaginative stuff. Acting is derivative at best. Very poor cinematography. Will watch S2.

>>85498135
But anon, hillbillies were in the ye olde woods before the Universe, the Cartel has no power in their magical realm.

>>85492252
They're both about ordinary family men getting in over their heads with criminals anon. It's like breaking bad only Marty is a much nicer person than Walter ever was though that really makes his reasons for joining in less believable I mean we see in the flashback episode him and his wife agree to do this shit basically because "why not?!" which is pretty dumb.

Pros:

>looks great
>sounds great
>Bateman is really good, as is the guy who plays Snell
>Del Rio was based
>Alien-fu
>characters aren't memes, seem like real people, even the fag FBI
>not overly politicised

Cons:

>have to wait a year now for season 2, shits all fucked up
>Rachel

I made a thread about Ozark the day after it premiered, and got exactly 3 replies before thread was dead. I hope more of my /tv/ friends start to watch and enjoy it.

it's more believable if anything. There's no real "muh something" driving people to do some crazy shit. A teacher who has cancer decides to be a drug dealer? Lmao.

This is a normal guy who's very, very good at his job and gets opportunity to make shitload of money in that said job.

Bateman is terrified of them, the whole series is his fear they will come and kill his family. He just thought he was good enough to never be on their bad sides. It's a running theme of him expecting people to be as rational as he is.

>>85484504
This is why i havent watched it. When i was told there is a cliffhanger/setup for season 2, im going to wait. Everythjng Bateman makes either gets cancelled ir bombs

Anon no rational person would accept a job where they know the punishment for failure is a brutal death for them and their entire family unless they had to for some reason. He didn't have to, they were fine, it was literally "hmmm my marrige is in a slump, oh I know lets go to that drug dealers resort! and then hey maybe I'll work for him lol won't that be a kick!"

Walter's situation was more believable because he wasn't rational or normal. The show made it clear early on that beneath his "ordinary suburban family man" exterior was a mountain of suppressed anger, jealousy, and pride.

>>85500907
millenial self insert

>>85501344
But he knew how good he was and knew there was no way it would fail, unless someone talked. The only reason things went wrong was because he partner stole from them ,something that obviously completely blindsided him. Bateman's charterer is a fixer, someone who has all the answers and is competent as long as other people play ball.

Also he had like 8 million before he had to relocate, money is a pretty good motivator.

>>85501461
Anon I'm sorry but you're just wrong. A normal person would not take that job no matter how good they are at what they do and they made it seem in the show like they pretty much agreed to do it cause they thought it'd be fun and spice things up.

>>85501567
so by your logic crime shouldn't exist at all because any single person would think the risks outweigh the benefits. But crime does exist and people do commit crime for financial benefit.

>>85501567
no he did because of money. Money, u know the thing that drives the human economy and decides pretty much every big thing in the world.

>>85501659
Most criminals are not random suburbanites doing just fine who decide to get into crime for fun or to spice up their failing marriage anon.

Most criminals are poor desperate people who turn to crime because they're poor and desperate.

>>85501725
You are aware that money laundering is a real thing right? that upper and middle class professionals commit crimes as well? it's called white collar crime, look it up.

Average white suburban americans do not want to work for mexican cartels and are scared shitless of them.

Great so far, I just hope it the writers don't feel the need to bog down the main story-line with giving her a side-plot.

Seeing the total disregard Marty's wife had for their marriage and the lengths he goes to in order to provide for his family really activated my almonds. It was a great way to set the character up and make her unlikable from the very first episode though.

I was really annoyed by the wife and her retarded antics. Also why do they make her say "fuck" so many times. And the whole "le evil hill billy mafia" and "mastermind 19 year old girl" shit.

7/10. Average show. Nothing spectacular.

>Seeing the total disregard Marty's wife had for their marriage and the lengths he goes to in order to provide for his family really activated my almonds.

On episode 4. When she so smugly asked what he did for the family that day, how he didn't just jump up from that chair and beat her around, I'll never know.

If I find out that you are responsible for spreading that kind of thing around the internet you will be hearing from my team of crack Jew lawyers.

Why do no shows ever have the balls to be one series long and be done with it (eg Homeland)? This would have been 10/10 if it ended with Marty getting killed, his family on the run again, the preacher's wife and kid dying thanks to him, maybe even the old guy in the basement getting shot in anger by Petty who storms in as a last desperate bid to catch Marty before the criminals do.

Now all we've got is some shitty second season where everything's going to be the same, he has to launder wow even more money with some epic new mexican handler, FBI is still after him and he'll meet some zany new lake characters.

It was honestly fantastic and well written, and it did a good job of avoiding common tropes.

My only problem is that the whole psycho-sexual-familial-narco genre is extremely saturated and overdone at this point. I don't understand why half the shows on TV are about the exact same shit.

I also disliked Batemen's character. I'm sick of the autistic "has an answer for everything" archetype. I liked how Martin seemed autistic and it was heavily implied that the son was too.
