Created by Bill Dubuque ("The Accountant," "The Judge"), this drama series stars Jason Bateman as Marty Byrde, a financial planner who relocates his family from Chicago to a summer resort community in the Ozarks. With wife Wendy and their two kids in tow, Marty is on the move after a money-laundering scheme goes wrong, forcing him to pay off a substantial debt to a Mexican drug lord in order to keep his family safe. While the Byrdes' fate hangs in the balance, the dire circumstances force the fractured family to reconnect.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Engaging and entertaining -- if not particularly challenging -- Ozark's descent into darker waters is kept afloat by another superb turn from Laura Linney.

Lauren Carroll Harris Guardian 07/24/2019
With such smart plotting, the whole enterprise is just another corruption of the American midwest, in this wonderfully astute takedown of the fraudulent American dream and ever-shrinking middle class. Go to Full Review Graeme Virtue Guardian 05/28/2019

Ozark, too, risks feeling a little familiar. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 08/31/2018
My hope that "Ozark" would get its sea legs in season two was for naught. Most of what was good in season one remains good, most importantly Linney... But then there are a few excruciating characters and subplots this time around. Go to Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut 05/10/2021
4/5
Continuing directly after the end of the first season, Ozark Season 2 examines the consequences of that story for everyone concerned. Happy families FTW. Go to Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof 07/11/2019
3.5/5
It continues to be worthwhile for the same reasons we found in the first season, and has partially compensated its less stimulating aspects. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network 05/28/2019
Ozark remains a very entertaining series and one that does not deviate much from the formula it developed last year. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Marco L @decatur555 Dec 21 Ozark makes one thing clear from the start: no one is innocent here. There’s no clean redemption and no harmless choices. Everyone ends up crossing lines, and the series never looks away. It begins like a familiar crime thriller, but slowly becomes colder, quieter, and far less interested in spectacle than its peers. The strength of the show lies in its characters, all of them morally compromised and constantly justifying their actions to survive a little longer. Marty and Wendy are two faces of the same corruption, while Ruth stands out as the emotional core of the series. Julia Garner delivers a truly unforgettable performance. Visually bleak and emotionally draining by design, Ozark builds a suffocating atmosphere where power, money, and fear contaminate everything they touch. It’s not always comfortable to watch, but it remains consistent and gripping until the end. No heroes, no winners — just consequences. See more Michael M @Michael_Myers Oct 25 More boring than season 1. See more Jenn F. @2JFeloni Sep 7 one of the greatest shows I’ve ever watched!! See more Gareth v @geewah Aug 15 A darker, sharper, and even more gripping follow-up that cements Ozark as one of the most intense crime dramas on TV. See more Greg S 07/15/2024 This is a great show with great actors and great writing. See more Slick R @SlickReviewer 06/23/2024 I knew exactly what I was going to watch because I read all of the articles and saw the trailers for Ozark before season 1. Absolutely loved this show even though it is not realistic at times, the acting is outstanding. See more Read all reviews
