Summary
Reviewers say 'Ozark' is lauded for its gripping storytelling, stellar performances by Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, and complex characters, often drawing comparisons to 'Breaking Bad'. However, some criticize the show for becoming implausible and melodramatic, especially in later seasons, pointing out plot inconsistencies, rushed storylines, and the handling of characters like Wendy. Despite these issues, many find the series engaging and appreciate its strong performances and initial narrative.

I never would have watched this if not for the quarantine. It wasn't promoted well.
I LOVED IT! Great script, tons of action and characters that you love to hate and hate to love.
I know it hasn't been long since it ended but I already miss Ozark. This show absolutely, without a doubt, lives up to all the hype it gets. It's a gripping thriller where the tension continues to build throughout each episode and each season and then pays off in a huge way. It really is a must watch show. People like to compare it to Breaking Bad and while I don't agree with that comparison because BB is the better show, Ozark is still terrific and worth every second. The one thing I can't stand about this show is Laura Linney's character (Wendy). While I don't mind Linney as an actress, because she's a pretty good one, in this she plays an annoying know it all who doesn't appreciate anything. Again, it's not her fault, it's just the way her character was written and as annoying as she was it still doesn't take away from the fact that this is such a great show.
Ozark was such an amazing show during his 3 first seasons, a masterpiece of drama combining poignant intrigue, mastered production, meticulous writing touched by a dose of skillfully distilled black humor. It's was one of my favorites shows and one of the few that I rated 10 but now i just give it a 9 because the season finale has completely ruined my love for this show because this season 4 was so bad oh my god...
Season 4 is lack of action, tension or typical Ozark's plot twist/violence. The pace is extremely slow and storyline does not conclude properly. Everything goes so fast around the last 30 minutes, and so many questions to answer. It's predictable, and weak compared to the quality of the 3 first seasons, did they switch of writers or what ?
There was characters coming in and out and one minute they all hate each other and then don't. It was just inconsistent and felt like they weren't sure how to finish everything. A lot of plots ultimately lead to nothing more than a pointless storyline.
The ending is a joke, it doesn't feel like an ending. Just a regression of most of the characters and the final scene is nonsense in every conceivable way. Ozark ending fails while Sopranos ending doesn't. The writers did not spend any effort on the final and find how to resolve the built-up tension through four seasons! It felt like a last-minute homework of a terrible student. What a waste, this season finale just ruins the show !

I get how good the show is, intense and dark showing the nature of what will do to survive. I was rooting for the family in season one but after a while, seeing how disconnected and unemotional everyone was, I had no one to root for.
I guess I like to see something of myself in the main characters that I can relate to, so I lost interest. I know it's great acting and yes feels very real, I felt like I was trainwrecks waiting to happen. I think a lot of people are tuning in to see someone's whose life is worse so they can feel better, too deep?
Anyways, hats off to Jason Bateman for making a gripping show, you keep seeing the darker side of humanity and wondering "is this really how bad it is?"

Definitely, one of best Tv shows about mafia on NETFLIX. Events unfold slowly, but with enormous progress and cruelty. Each character plays their role on final. The most important thing in Ozark its relationships between family, when children grow up and see what their parents do. As a result, the children's consciousness breaks down and they will begin to imitate their parents.
- Jason Bateman, opened up in a new, non-comedy way and amazed. The character of Marty Byrde himself was pragmatic and sometimes pathetic. Unlike his wife, who became very cruel and insane.
- A very good «book» on business corruption and responsibility for it. Understanding that once you plunge in, you will never get out again.

- TriviaAt the beginning of each episode, the title is shown with four symbols inside of an O that foreshadow events from that episode. The symbols also spell the letters Z-A-R-K to form OZARK altogether.
- GoofsIn several episodes, license plates on the Missouri cars start with a number instead of a letter. In Missouri, license plates can only start with numbers on trucks instead of cars. (They can even be transferred to an SUV from a truck from the original owner in case of an automobile purchase, but never to a car).
