Ozark - Season 1 (2017 Creators Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams)

A money launderer and his family relocate to the popular lake area of the Ozarks, Missouri, forced into working for a violent cartel boss. There they fall foul of the local hard man drug dealer and his psychotic wife. These people are played by Jason Bateman (who directed some of the episodes), Laura Linney, Sofia Hublitz, Skylar Gaertner, Esai Morales, Peter Mullan and Lisa Emery.

With Julia Garner, Jordana Spiro (hotel owner), Jason Butler Harner (detective, Changeling), Harris Yulin, Charlie Tahan, Marc Menchaca (gay brother with the whiskers).

A Netflix original 10 hour series. It's very green. Quite watchable. I guess it's sort of in the Breaking Bad model (family dragged into crime). The moment the kid points a semi-automatic rifle at the gangster, and then no one mentions it at all afterwards, is funny.


Also, Linney actually looks older in the ten years ago flashback.
