That kind of spoils the story. |

I never watch anything for the story, always for the acting and writing. The stories I've already seen a hundred times. Like the story in Ozark, nothing new yet. Loser selfish parents, spoiled big mouthed kids, parents are grifters who make lots of enemies. The hook of the show is to keep the family constantly threatened with ruin, but having them always escape by a hair so they can have another season. Sound familiar? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I have had the fortunate luck to win some $50,000 jackpots at a small pub. When they pay me I always ask them to put the money in a styrofoam food to-go box and then in a plastic bag. I always figured if someone robbed the place while I was there they might ask me to empty my pockets but would never think to look in my food container sitting on the bar. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I caught a snipper while doing something else. Was immediately captivated into watching. 20 min later and I began watching what was ~4eps just for the sheer idiocy of it all. I refuse to even type further. It is the worst thing I have ever watched, and I kinda hate Bateman now purely because of it. It is so bad. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

You do. Great show. Very satisfying finale. Can’t wait for season 2. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
