10 TV Shows You Need To Stop Sleeping On
1. Ozark (Netflix)
At first glance, Marty Byrde looks like a normal family man and a mild-mannered financial planner from Chicago. But looks can be deceiving because he is the man the second largest Cartel in the world uses for laundering hundreds of millions of dollars. When these drug lords lose faith in his ability to deliver he is forced to clean 500 million dollars in five years by setting up a more significant operation in the Ozarks.
The famous tourist destination is ripe for the picking with Byrde scooping up several businesses to conduct his illegal financial transactions. He soon realizes he's ruffled the feathers of the local criminal elements at the same time the FBI is in pursuit of him.
The series ends up feeling a lot like Breaking Bad where the entire family is on it from the get-go and must work together to survive the threats coming from all sides. Jason Bateman stars as Byrde alongside his wife Wendy, played by Laura Linney who both give what some would argue are career-defining performances.
Two slow burn suspense-filled seasons are all set to enjoy of Ozark on Netflix now with a third set to release sometime later this year.
