If you're looking for a new show and haven't seen "Ozark" yet, it's one of the few excellent shows still left.  It's in the mold and intensity of "Breaking Bad".

I just got done binging on season 3, and holy crap it's good.  If you like "Breaking Bad", you'll love this show.

Here's the scene from season 1 that kicks off the plot of the show.  His business partner and him (Jason Bateman's character Marty, a genius whiz financial guy) launder money for a Mexican drug cartel.  His partner was caught skimming, so the cartel shows up to Chicago to kill them all.  Marty convinces them to let him live to move his family to the Ozarks to launder more money than they do in Chicago -- a scheme he thought up there on the spot by looking at an Ozark brochure.

Excellent plot and twists, and plenty of cliff hangers and intense scenes, and the acting is excellent.

I concur whole-heartedly.   I binged on season 3 this weekend. Big fan of the series.  I enjoyed Esai Morales
character in Season 1.  Hadn't seen much of him since the 80's, he played a great heavy.
My favorite character now is that crazy hillbilly heroine Queenpin.

I think she quickly move up to the top spot of crazy bad-ass villains...  I'm actually scared of her in real life because of her character...

Season 4 is going to be insane.

You'd think Wendy has enough on her plate without going to war against that psycho.

She's really responsible for all the problems.  She went and bought that other casino, which prompted the FBI to investigate them.  She got Darlene worked up by trying to get that baby back, and also letting Ben stay at the house.  Really, it's her fault that Ben is dead because if she didn't go after Darlene's baby, Darlene would have never pulled strings to get Ben out of the hospital.
