    Season 2 is hit or miss with people...wasn't a huge fan. Season 3 is incredible

    Ozark can’t really be mentionned with these other great shows. The one show that could be in the same sentence now is better call Saul.


    And I also absolutely loved watchmen but that is not for everybody

    ozark is still very good

    We can compare first 3 seasons though and it's no where near as good as those other two aforementioned shows first 3 seasons. There are definitely other shows first 3 seasons that have been better too.

    Again, I do really like Ozark though and it is not completed so we'll see how it ultimately ends up.

    There is a large gap between calling a show enjoyable to watch and comparing it to one of the best of all time.

    Ozark is a fun show, but it’s certainly not on the level of GOAT series.

    Ozark is very good if not great. Breaking Bad is arguably the GOAT.

    Would be like putting Vince Carter in the same territory as Michael Jordan.

    No one is saying this. We are saying it’s very good thus far and you can’t fairly judge it as a series yet until we have more data.

    Went down a rabbit hole late last night and watched The Platform. Basically a jail with a tier like food system. Lower levels eat like shit while upper levels of jail eat well. Don’t wanna say anymore about it for fear of spoilers. It’s also in Spanish and subtitles needed. Interesting premise with plenty of gore

    Ozark is garbage. You should feel shame for mentioning it in the same breath as BB or The Wire

    Ozark isn't a top 3 show of all time, but it might be top 3 as far as Netflix original series goes from what I've seen so far. Only other Netflix shows jumping out that I can think of are Haunting of Hill House, Mindhunters, and maybe Stranger Things. Bloodline was also incredibly good, but dropped off after its first season. Anyone got other recs? I haven't watched most of Netflix's stuff, so fire away if anything is better than the aforementioned

    It's not the best show of all time, but I binged through The Stranger this week and was pleased. And the 4th part of Money Heist. Both worthwhile...you know, considering all we have is time at this point.

    The Stranger reminded me a lot of Broadchurch...just a shit ton of angles to the main story.

    Even with the last season and a half being sans Spacey, House of Cards is the best Netflix series of all time. I'd put the first 4 seasons up against any 4 seasons of any show not named The Wire.
