Cheers,
I was thinking it was set quite a way from Atlanta.
Nice gig.
Some scenes were short in Chicago, especially in the first episode. Great gig indeed. I've worked on several shows, including another Netflix original, Stranger things and the Walking dead. All shot around Atlanta and other parts of Georgia as well. You live in NZ? My aunt lives in Dunedin. Im hoping to visit either late this year or next spring

Make sure you visit Dunedin in our Summer, its too bloody cold in winter.
You have worked on shows I really like, nice one. I cant wait for the next season of Ozark, watched the whole thing in 3 nights.

I enjoyed it as well. Just completed another gig, Rampage starring Dwayne Johnson. About summer in NZ, thats why im hoping to visit in December before christmas. Spring here would be around April. Would that still be a decent time to visit weather wise? BTW sorry for derailing the thread :devil:

Just finished it I thought it was great, it's very dark but witty at the same time. Similar to breaking bad. Another Netflix gem.

This show is great! I've just binged the whole season in a day.

I really like how direct the characters are and it made for some unpredictable moments. Love that they just straight up told the kids and there wasn't any bullshit. Well acted with good clever characters.

Finished this yesterday.

It's great. Bateman is brilliant, but his family are all well acted too. The kids are great, the bad guys are genuinely threatening/menacing but also have a lot of charisma, and some character arcs have been wonderful to watch (Ruth in particular).

Not slow paced unless you were looking for John Wick style action. Probably not from the very top draw of drama but well worth watching.

Currently watching this (starting episode 4) and really enjoying it so far. I like that there's no real secrecy in the family - a lot of other shows e.g. BB or Sopranos where crime's involved there's a lot of hushing up especially towards the kids. I also like that the main characters aren't predisposed to crime and are more trying to make a bad situation work, and the laundering aspect vs say drugs/crime is interesting too. The action in it is slower so far than other similar shows, but I quite like it, I'm a bit burnt out on shows where the main enemy is some absolute nutter killing left and right (obviously pilot aside on Ozark). The best part of the show I definitely do think so far is the family dynamic, and the people of Ozark thus far looks promising character wise too.

Today was the first time I'd thought about Ozark in a while, and then they confirm it'll be back this month. Perfect timing, bravo Netflix.

Even though it has its similarities to Breaking Bad it still felt fresh to me. I think because they straight up told the kids and his wife was in on it and there wasn't an annoying storyline about one of the kids rebelling.

The family that launders money together stays together.

Same. I was talking to someone about Better Call Saul coming out this week and it made me wonder when Ozark was back.

They're hacking our brains.
