Jason Bateman is a far cry from Arrested Development in the first teaser for his upcoming Netflix series OZARK. In the series, Bateman plays Marty Byrde, a father of two who has a fairly taxing job– he's the top money launderer for the second biggest drug cartel in Mexico. And, from the teaser, it looks like he wants to quit.
"Hypothetically, on a scale of one to 10, how difficult would it be for someone to disappear?" Marty asks at the start of the teaser. It's clear why he wants to take him, his wife (Laura Linney), and his teenage children Charlotte (Sofia Hublitz) and Jonah (Skylaer Gaertner) off the map, as death and violence seems to surround them, with drug lords and the police both hunting them down. "Look around," his wife says to him. "This place is death."
OZARK comes from The Accountant's Bill Dubuque (who is also currently working on the script for Chris McKay's standalone Nightwing movie). Michael Mosley, Julia Garner, and Kevin L. Johnson also star in the series, which is due to premiere its ten one-hour episodes on Netflix on July 21. While we wait, see the other Netflix original shows that will blow you away this year.
Looks interesting.

Fucking Netflix man, a show of this calibre just coming out of the blue
This is pure quality, the writing and acting are top notch HBO level (real HBO, not True Blood and GOT s06+ HBO ), it might be Netflix's best written show so far and I ve only seen first 2 eps.
ep3:
Spoiler:
holy fuck, that was the hardest punch a girl ever threw
This show is GOLDEN. Go and watch it.
For ONCE no bullshit, people talk and act like regular fucking people in deep, not like a bunch of fucking babies.
That's what bothered me in Breaking Bad's Jessie: He acted all sad and shit all the time like "we are working with bad people, I can't cope with it", "Oh no, a MEXICAN CARTEL/merciless killer wasted someone, how did this ever happen? I'm traumatised and shit but yeah, I'm still available thusday for yet another cook though. This time, these guys will behave and play nice, I just KNOW it.".
None of that weak shit here. Just pure awesomeness.

Excellent start to this series and I moved to the Ozarks this year.
The Lake of the Ozarks is exactly what they are showing. Massive in size with hundreds of inlets...and my god the wealth on the lake. Millions of dollars on these properties and most are just seasonal summer homes to the extremely wealthy. During the summer...right now...the entire area explodes with cash and opportunity. The majority of the outlying counties have no regulations. It's an interesting area to say the least.
The pull away shot at the end of episode 1 shows some of the scale. That shot is 1% of the size of the lake. Over 1800 km of shoreline...and that's just one of many lakes in the state of Missouri.

That was indeed annoying with BB, but perhaps not entirely unrealistic either. I felt alienated by his behavior, which i doubt was the goal with his character, but i bet there are tons of people who felt they could relate to him. Its a world full of crybabies, after all.
Really like both Jason Bateman and Laura Linney.. gonna watch this for sure

They are both awesome!!!
On BB: Yeah, sure, but in that case:
A) You can't cope with it, but you're still in the game = your distress/pain is hypocritical, and quite masochistic.
B) You either cut and run, or stay and deal with it.
That's what I already like about this one: people involved in it are commited, and knew, to some extent, the exact type of people they were/are dealing with. No "booh ooh what have I done(to deserve this)".
Even the kids are awesome, which is fucking rare, in any show.

watching it right now and for now everything was great.
but now im on episode 8 and i can't wait it to be over. hope the next episode isn't like this one because it is it will be an instant skip.
ep09 is nothing like ep08 (flashbacks). And 2 hours season finale is gooood Tbh I didn't quite like ep08 although , I suppose, we did need to get some info on how everyone got to this point of the story(ep01).
That's because Ozark skips all the "how he became" parts. He's already in deep shit from the get go. So S1 would be more like season 3-4 of Breaking Bad.
