"Ozark "on Netflix as compared to "Better Call Saul"
Anyone watching? It's lighted and shot to look washed out and bleak, and there is a pretty high level of violence. Some unsavory characters, like the hillbillies and the FBI guy...not even to mention the cartel... It's interesting to see Jason Bateman in a roll like this after Arrested Development. You kind of feel for his character, but he ends up doing a lot of bad things to keep himself and his family from ending up as fish food.
I wonder if they'll have a third season....
(If I'm honest, I prefer my televised violence, mayhem and suspense more along the lines of Better Call Saul, where once in a while they throw in a character like the baseball card guy to inject a little bit of levity into a really dark world...but Ozark does show plenty o' boobs at the strip club, so put that one in the W column)
