Review of Ozark

Ozark (2017–2022)
4/10
Ambitious but completely ridiculous
11 August 2017
This series started well with a pretty gripping set up with an interesting scenario. Unfortunately, as it develops it just got so completely silly with its plot points and story lines that I just couldn't believe anyone could take on so many enemies along with the two key ones that and survive. I suppose the writing team was looking to make for Breaking Bad level intensity but it just got so far fetched with the main character's complete inability to cover his tracks and to have such trust in the waitress who is a known crook along with her entire family it just got plainly silly. Wandering side stories with his kids that made little sense along with his wife's backstory that, in reality, would mean she would be a prime murder suspect in the death of her lover. This was just really silly, the writers should have simplified things and reduced the number of enemies and predicaments as it quickly reached a level of unbelievabilty. If the FBI were really this incompetent then America would have ended as a country decades ago.
