If you know how Season 1 played out, you know there’s definitely not a stretch to be made for Ozark taking its harrowing, and still darkly amusing, story deeper into the future.
Due to both known and unknown job-related issues, Jason Batman’s Marty Byrde has to walk a tightrope while balancing the constant threat of death looming over his head from the most immediate threat, a criminal played by TV great Esai Morales, as well as the threat of his family falling apart due to all the stress.
The first season of Ozark is set up with a splendid amount of white-knuckle tension, and the crime-filled story starts dropping and adding layers as it relocates the central family from Chicago to the small, titular community in Missouri.
