Television Ozark

[Alock1]

First season available on Netflix.

Jason Bateman, family man and financial advisor, launders money for a drug cartel.

Anyone watched it yet? Seems to be going for a Breaking Bad vibe.

 

[VorZakone]

Apparently the pilot is well received.

 

[Tarrou]

Just about to put the first episode on. Will report back.

Edit: Enjoyed the 1st one, very promising

 

[wr8_utd]

I'd enjoyed the trailer when it was uploaded. Will watch the first episode tomorrow.

 

[Rado_N]

Looks good but I think I might struggle to take Bateman seriously.

Think Lester Nygaard in Fargo S2

That was season one?

 

[Rooney24]

Watched the first two episodes tonight. I like it

Ah you're right. My mistake

 

[SuperiorXI]

It's a bit boring

 

[McLovin]

Enjoyed the first episode.

 

[FCBarca]

Has good reviews and I like Linney, Bateman & Morales - not sure I will ever dissociate the Bob role from the latter though

 

[Tarrou]

I've seen the first three, it's started to fizzle out

 

[Dan]

Loved the use of Radiohead track at the end of the first episode.

I was thinking of downloading it until I saw this word. I'm miserable enough with the weather over here.

Heard a lot of this. Starts well but steadily loses something as it goes along.

 

[SwansonsTache]

Too boring, they've tried to hard to create that gritty atmosphere and have removed all charm in the process.

Gave it up after two eps.

 

[Welsh Wonder]

Boring and miserable for the most part. Don't think anyone ever smiles.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Boring and miserable for the most part. Don't think anyone ever smiles.

Seems the use of Radiohead on the soundtrack was most apt.

Over the ten episodes I would say you could count on two hands (with fingers remaining) the amount of scenes in which someone smiled. Either that or scenes in which at least one character didn't have tears in their eyes.

You've finished it already?

 

[Welsh Wonder]

You've finished it already?

Yeah I've had basically feck all to do this weekend so watched most of it yesterday and finished it this morning.

 

[SirAF]

I love Bateman, so I'll give the pilot a whirl tonight.

 

[Globule]

5 episodes in and I'm really enjoying it. There's been a bit of a slowing down since the opening couple of episodes, but I quite like that. It's easier to buy into the everyman angle when they're slow and methodical with the show. Similar to Breaking Bad, where the first season was incredibly methodical with the story early on, before it became faster-paced.

 

[parkthebuslads]

Thought it was decent enough, a little like Complications which I also enjoyed.

 

[The Stain]

Quite like it.

 

[crappycraperson]

Good reviews? Where have you been reading those? I saw this mostly get bad reviews and hence did not watch it.

 

[Dan]

I'm enjoying it, will probably finish it tonight.

 

[Stack]

Started watching this with low expectations and ended up really enjoying it. 1 episode left to go and already wanting the next season.

You missed out then.

 

[McLovin]

Both Rotten tomatoes and Metacritic have given it generally positive reviews.

 

[Massive Spanner]

I'm two episodes in and I like it, you can tell it's heavily influenced by Breaking Bad.

 

[Verbalkint]

It's not bad at all but god it's slow. I'll still watch the season though.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Three episodes in. First one is fast out of the blocks, and then it slows down a bit, but it's not bad.

Spoiler

Marty's wife is a shitbag. I hope she gets thrown off a balcony

 

[The Stain]

Spoiler

 

[matherto]

It's brilliant, just can't quite believe I binged it all in one night and now we've gotta wait for ages to watch new episodes.

 

[Loublaze]

I worked on the set of this show in Atlanta. Its a brilliant show too

What was filmed in Atlanta?

What was filmed in Atlanta?

Most of Ozark, and I say Atlanta in general because most scenes were shot 35-40 mins north of Atlanta in a small town called Woodstock and around lake Allatoona in the same area bordering Cobb and Cherokee counties. Have to mention Canton GA as well, just north of Woodstock.

Cheers,
I was thinking it was set quite a way from Atlanta.
Nice gig.
