The music is incredible too.
I'm watching the second episode right now and this show is so relentlessly dark...I mean Sweet Jesus.
At least Breaking Bad had Hank and Gomez joking around and Jesse being funny at the beginning. Walt in his underwear was kind of amusing too.
Imagine this show 5 seasons in...lol
Ruth is hilarious

I love the Netflix model, of dumping all the episodes in one go. But that doesn't allow the conventional method of being able to tailor your episodes through critical and audience reaction, and that definitely hurts Netfix.
BB was kind of mapped out on a season to season basis. Sure they brought back fan favourites and actors/characters they liked as the show progressed and let that guide their broad narrative of 'from Mr Chips to Scarface' but let's not fool ourselves into thinking Gilligan et al were tweaking things in a reactionary way mid season to fan feedback like Lindelof and Cuse tried with LOST with largely disastrous consequences to their world building.
If Ozark gets approval for a second season I dare say the writers will be reviewing the show's formula and recalibrating accordingly.
It's humorless
Yeah, you're right, they probably will. Well they did change a lot mid season for the first one, but it perhaps has nothing to do with audience reaction. TV is still shot episode to episode.
Aren't most Netflix seasons just shot like a movie? All scenes on one location shot together.
I'm not a big fan of the ending. It wasn't very satisfying and there's little closure imo.The heroin dealers should have died and the family shouldn't have come back. That was pretty dumb. Hopefully the priest goes rambo and tries to get revenge.
Just finished the season. I don't think they ever explicitly state what happened to, do they? Did they reallyGracecut her baby out of her and dump her body somewhere? How and where was her body found?
All good points. They did a good job of making them awful people so next season should be interesting.I don't know.I like the flipping of expectations. It would have been the obvious thing for the Cartel guys to come in and clean house for the operation to proceed. The Hillbillies being the real threat makes for a more interesting take, coupled with the Hillbilly matriarch being quite volatile. Certainly, they've left a lot of threads undone, but that's the hook. Will the Cartel shrug off their losses and just proceed with the proposal? Who will they send as their replacement handler? What will their relationship be like with Marty? What about Rachel making off with a couple of million? How far is she going to get? How is Ruth going to proceed, especially given her fathers rejection? Also what happens when he inevitably gets out of prison? Also indeed what will the preacher do? Lots of scope for exploration going forward. As for the family. I think there's just the acceptance on their part that running means they'd definitely be spending the rest of their lives looking over their shoulders, where as at least this way they know where they stand
This is probably the saddest part of the story for me. I'm guessing that's what happened. No reason to believe otherwise.Just finished the season.

I get this point of view. Maybe you're looking for more than how long can he do this before he gets caught?The first episode was incredibly dull. Not feeling this at all. It's not that bad, it just doesn't seem to have anything interesting to say. I'll give it two or three more episodes, but I'm probably out.

Kinda lost interest after finishing EP3. Something about the redneck part of the cast and the pure absurdity of some of the plot took me out of the show tbh.
I don't get this complaint. There's a lot of humor in this show.
Granted, a lot of it stems from the absurdity of the situation and the subversion of how the tropes play out, but there's definitely a sense of humor at play here.
