I really like it, but admittedly I'm easy when it comes to spy stuff. But this show is subtle. Not like James Bond at all, for example.

I like Berlin Station too, but this show is better IMO. Of course, you'll have to read subtitles if you're not fluent in French.

Ozark is pretty much everything I want from a Netflix show. I can't really complain about its flaws when I binge through it in three days.

I just googled her, man she looks strange. IDK if it's because she is 52 and skinny and didn't have work done or if she had work done or drank and smoked.

Ozark season 2 is plenty good, it just lacks some of the “fun” from the first season. It’s much darker and there is barely a laugh to be had. I did like how they made the wife more of a player as they kept dragging Bateman down. Can’t wait for season 3!!

I'm 5 episodes into season 2 of Ozark, and it's still damn good to me.

I like how the kids are stashing away their own money, I like Buddy. I like how Marty doesn't have any existential angst over all of the bad things he's involved in, he just does what he's gotta do.

I like Jacob and his wife....and Ruth and her clan...and even poor Rachel.

One thing I don't like is the FBI agent...he's too nutty. But it's a small complaint.

Always dangerous when Dominic starts talking about a show you haven't seen yet

---------

The binge fiesta I have started late 2018 continues! After The Man in The High Castle, Succession, The Americans, Godless and Billions I just started Escape at Dannemora. It's clearly a good mini-serie but the change of pace after 3 seasons of Billions makes the transition difficult lol

Season 2 was the same quality as season 1 excluding the pilot imo. It's more of the same, I was entertained.

Finally checked this out. I'd seen it mentioned a few times and assumed it was some NCIS-type show about the FBI on CBS so completely ignored it until

That didn't sound like CBS. Only watched the first 2 eps but really enjoying it, and it is definitely better than Berlin Station so far, which is a little too ridiculous at times.

Big fan of Ozark. Sure, some suspended disbelief, but I'm just so entertained the whole time.

Mother F*****, I pulled it up on my Amazon Music and it was the explicit version and read the lyrics and it says Mother Mother and that is what they sing.

I want a refund!

anyone seen Umbrella Academy? It started off really amazing, first 2-3 episodes were some of the best Netflix television ever imo, but then it started going downhill, with all the fillers (that they managed to avoid earlier), terrible character development and complete (unintentional) cliche of a plot. Im currently halfway through last episode and honestly have zero desire to finish it. I mean, I will, but c'mon.

Still, with the beginning being easily 9/10, I think the show deserves like 6/10. There's clearly potential, so I will be waiting for season 2.

For Russian Doll fans, there’s an interesting twitter thread by Jason Zinoman on the cultural importance and relevance of Tompkins Square Park in the series
