Anyone watch this? Looking for a new show to plow into with so much free time on my hands. My buddy recently started watching it & loves it, but he's also the same guy who consider Godfather III to be on part with the first two Godfathers so his taste is, uh, questionable.
Anyone here watch it? Thoughts? Worth watching?
Enjoy
Agree, I felt that way all along, but I liked the season finale.
Start from S1E1. Hope you enjoy it.
Err.... 7.98M
Agree, one of the best shows, streaming or otherwise.
Thanks all.
I couldnt possibly disagree more. I thought he was excellent. Im being vague to remain spoiler-free, but there were several aspects of his character/performance that I thought were masterfully portrayed. Not only was he good but he brought out aspects of multiple characters that we hadn't seen. The actor, Tom Pelphrey, is probably going to win an Emmy and see a big jump in his career.
I have a couple episodes to go but he's actually been a good addition, IMO.

I was worried about the same thing, feels like a plot device. But someone on reddit pointed out that he's not quite a "long lost brother" and that Marty/Wendy had actually discussed him earlier when voicing their concerns about Jonah ("What if he's like my brother?"). Kind of made me think they had planned on bringing him in the whole time.
Now go finish the season and start a thread when you're ready to talk about it lol.
Shameless > Ozark. William Macy is such an underrated actor, he, in Shameless, is one of my favorite characters of any show.
And that's not a criticism of Ozark, I liked it a lot, but Shameless is just a better show. You made the right call, but should catch Ozark when you can.
Ozark is much better than both shows in just about every facet. Top notch acting and directing and the cinematography is beautiful. And Julia Garner is one of the best young actresses in the business, she's simply fantastic on this show.
Just a bunch of bitching, slow talking and walking around.

Were you expecting The Fast and the Furious? Or The Transformers?

It gets better and better. I almost gave up after the 1st episode of season 1, but stuck through it. After all 3 seasons it was one of the best shows I have watched
Oh, and look. There is a blue filter. How deep.

So, when is anything interesting going to happen again? 🤔

Ok. I have your word.
And not liking something because of the color of the tint is pretty funny.

Well I'm a huge Ozark fan so perhaps the question isn't for me. For me I love shows that tend to be on the darker side, with great writing and acting performances. Shows that keep you engaged and connected through all the different plots.
Sons of Anarchy is probably my all time favorite show.
Some good ones that are more under the radar are Justified, Halt and Catch Fire, and Rectify. The latter two are phenomenal television, and only 4 seasons each.

LOL. Of all the things I could give advice about, this is the surest thing I could do. Much safer than who the Giants will pick at #4.

To echo the consensus Ozark is awesome. Shameless was awesome but I gave up two years ago when Debbie became a prominent character the show took a nosedive. Can’t believe it’s still on. I loved Ray Donovan until season 5 and it also fell off a cliff IMO
the plot holes were ridiculous in season 3 and the plot in general is pretty ridiculous, but I'm not someone who gets hung up on that. It's entertainment.
but make no mistake the show is entertaining, but in no way in the category some fans on here are putting it. People are making it seem like the TV version of Citizen Kane.
People are entitled to their opinions though.

But season three was a letdown for me. Not a fan of the brother character and the whole arc around him. Will be back for season four though as the best thing about three was the finale.

Tom Pelphrey is from Jersey and a huge Giants fan. I thought he was awesome on this season. I just finished season 3. I thought this season was better than season 2.
I don't want to give any spoilers, so I'll just say that there were a few other things that really didn't make a whole lot of sense regarding the storylines involving Darlene.
Again, I love the show and I liked season 3. Just didn't like it as much as the first two. I hope season 4 returns the focus to Marty and the nuts and bolts of how he comes up with creative ways to launder money. That was the part of the show I liked the best.
What does what shows I do like have to do with this one? So you can just say I'm wrong by picking out flaws in other shows?
I'm giving it a chance, I said. It's on my TV right now.
What do you want me to do? Lie and say I love it? Believe me, I'll rip in the shows I do like. As I do the New York Giants when they play shitty.
(See 2012-present)
I'll probably watch Ozark to fill up time on a day off, as I am doing today. I did the same exact thing with House of Cards, it was a decent show in the beginning, but I could live without it. I'll clean my act up.
So I'll watch it and I'm going to go do my best to fit in with the cool crowd. Back to the show, weird things are happening!
Oh, look. My girlfriend just complained about the filter being too dark and the framing being a bit off. I told her what they're saying on BBI and to quit increasing her demands. She's a nurse, so this very little time off with everything going on, she'll love being told what to say.
But it sounds like you shouldnt bother watching it anymore. It’s still dark in season 3 and they are still walking around (and doing some boating). Not much else.
Just wait, I think season 1 was the worst season
