Ozark Season 2 Review

I just finished up season 2 of the show Ozark and overall it was very good! It's one of those shows where anything can happen and usually it is unexpected so it keeps you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed season 1 and I found season 2 to be just as good as the first season.

This season Marty and Wendy try to set up a new casino as a way to launder money for the cartel who they have been in trouble with since things went awry in the first season. It turns out to be a lot harder than expected and there are all kinds of issues along the way. Their goal is to ultimately get out with their family intact and hopefully start a new life but it seems like they just keep getting deeper and deeper into trouble.

In terms of the writing, I find the show to be at times a little over the top, like they are making drastic things happen to shock the audience. It can seem a little unbelievable, but it certainly makes for an entertaining show. They tend to kill off characters pretty fast which can be risky but so far it seems to be working out ok.

The characters and actors are stars of the show. Jason Bateman and Laura Linney are fantastic as Marty and Wendy, as is Julia Garner as Ruth. They all have very intense and emotional scenes and they pull them off wonderfully. The kids and supporting actors all do a good job as well.

At the end of the season the future of what the Byrde family will do is uncertain, but Ozark has been renewed for a 3rd season so we have more excitement to look forward to! Overall I highly recommend Ozark if you like shows with suspense and drama. Seasons 1 and 2 are available now on Netflix.
