I just finished up season 2 of the show
Ozark and overall it was very good! It's one of those shows where
anything can happen and usually it is unexpected so it keeps you on
the edge of your seat. I enjoyed season 1 and I found season 2 to be
just as good as the first season.
This season Marty and Wendy try to set
up a new casino as a way to launder money for the cartel who they
have been in trouble with since things went awry in the first season.
It turns out to be a lot harder than expected and there are all kinds
of issues along the way. Their goal is to ultimately get out with
their family intact and hopefully start a new life but it seems like
they just keep getting deeper and deeper into trouble.
In terms of the writing, I find the
show to be at times a little over the top, like they are making
drastic things happen to shock the audience. It can seem a little
unbelievable, but it certainly makes for an entertaining show. They
tend to kill off characters pretty fast which can be risky but so far
it seems to be working out ok.
The characters and actors are stars of
the show. Jason Bateman and Laura Linney are fantastic as Marty and
Wendy, as is Julia Garner as Ruth. They all have very intense and
emotional scenes and they pull them off wonderfully. The kids and
supporting actors all do a good job as well.
At the end of the season the future of
what the Byrde family will do is uncertain, but Ozark has been
renewed for a 3rd season so we have more excitement to
look forward to! Overall I highly recommend Ozark if you like shows
with suspense and drama. Seasons 1 and 2 are available now on
Netflix.
