Just watched a Netflix sci fi movie Extinction which they just put up

I was a little less impressed. I wouldn't call them plot twists, so much as single twist, more suitable to the 30 minute Twlight zone episodes. This single twist gets stretched beyond the breaking point into a 95 minute movie.

Her name is Nan Adams. She's twenty-seven years old. Her occupation: buyer at a New York department store. At present on vacation, driving cross-country to Los Angeles, California from Manhattan. A minor incident on Highway 11 in Pennsylvania, perhaps to be filed away under "Accidents You Would Walk Away From". But from this moment on, Nan Adams' companion on her trip to California...will be terror.

Nan Adams, age twenty-seven. She was driving to California—to Los Angeles. She didn't make it. There was a detour…through The Twilight Zone

The Informant, Matt Damon. 9 stars.

I remember this story from the late 90's.
As the movie went on, I thought nobody
can be this dang dumb, and was wondering
how much they changed. I found a 2010
docu from Discovery on Youtube that
had the real people in it, and the movie
was spot on. They added nothing, he really
was that dumb. Great flick.

Just finished season 1 Ozark.
Wow.

I haven't seen it for 3 reasons. I
can't stand Laura Linney or Jason
Bateman. I read it's a really poor
rip off of Breaking Bad. And there
is way too much homosexual
sex that you have to FF thru. It
got a bunch of one star reviews
for being slow and boring and
jumping the shark early on.

Still thinking abut that last episode of Ozark
I think its one of the best final season episodes of a tv series I have ever seen
I looked on IMDB and that episode got 9.2 out of 10
I don't think I have ever seen anything on IMDB above a 9
No big cliff hanger.
Just really well written story with a major huge plot surprise

Perfect time to catch this series as season 2 starts at the end of August

I've been meaning to check out Ozark. Maybe I'll have to finally get around to it.

You should because episode 1 is the 2nd best episode of the series.
Both 1st and last episodes star Esai Morales who is a fabulous actor in this series.
Both episodes also directed by Jason Bateman
The series starts with a huge bang and ends with a huge bang.
Great story. No slow start.
I hate it when a Netflix series takes several slow episodes to establish the characters and story
Only 17 min into the 1st episode and it gets real intense

Has a lot of offensive Gay sex, read the reviews. It made a lot of people quit watching out of disgust. I won't watch, I don't like being disgusted. If you take a risk, you may lose.
