Ooooh.
If Netflix’s suggestion box hasn’t already pushed you in the right direction, thankfully you have us to keep you up to speed.
You see, whether it’s a controversial doccie like What the Health, or a need-to-watch drama like Big Little Lies, we are always keen to give you a suitable heads up.
Yes, yes, we’re the best – and now we have another suggestion worthy of your binge-watching practices.
It’s called Ozark, and sees Arrested Development star Jason Bateman take on quite a different role in the latest Netflix original.
Created by Bill Dubuque, the series’ plot sounds, as The Daily Beast puts it, “positively bonkers”:
[I]t sees Byrde (Bateman), his adulterous wife Wendy (Laura Linney), and their two young children decamp from the Windy City to a remote town on the Lake of the Ozarks after Byrde’s business partner is caught skimming laundered cartel money.
Byrde convinces the cartel middleman (Esai Morales) to spare his life in exchange for his establishing a new money-laundering operation in the unassuming Ozark town, far away from the feds.
But the place turns out to be a rural nightmare straight out of Winter’s Bone, teeming with scavengers, wannabe mafiosos, and—wait for it—a murderous crime family that deals heroin in hollowed-out Bibles.
Drugs, money laundering and small town drama? Kind of sounds like the heroin version of Breaking Bad.
But let’s not compare, that would be unfair – just check the trailer:
Convinced? Yeah, we thought as much.
You can pop over here to start watching it – that is if you have a Netflix account.
