In the finale, Helen Pierce ( Janet McTeer) is killed by Omar Navarro. Season 3 featured a number of jaw-dropping twists. The Byrdes must come together in order to survive. Marty has to pay off debts to a Mexican drug lord to protect his family. Marty and Wendy have to move after a money-laundering scheme goes awry. The show starts out with Marty Byrde, a financial planner, who decides to relocate his family from Chicago to the Ozarks. The words he said to Marty and Wendy after killing Helen echo in the final moments: “Today is a beginning.” Marty and Wendy look scared, to say the least. Wendy also says, “Sometimes, if you don’t move forward, you die.” There’s a glimpse of Marty and Wendy walking out of Navarro’s mansion at the end of the teaser. “Money is, at its essence, that measure of a man’s choices,” Marty Byrde says in the season 4 teaser, which dropped on October 19. "You brought weed across the border?" "Well, I thought if they found the dead body they'd let the weed slide." Spotless was renewed years ago for a second season, which has unfortunately yet to materialize.Laura Linney and Jason Bateman as Wendy and Marty Byrde. Spotless is dark and harrowing like Ozark, but adds more black comedy to lighten the mood ever-so-slightly. Thankfully his unique talent gets him out of many sticky situations. But when his brother comes to town with a dead body in his trunk and a mob boss on his heels, he gets pulled into a world of crime he never expected to be part of. The British-France co-production (don't worry, it's mostly in English) features a lot of the gory messiness of Ozark thanks to the main character running a crime scene cleaning business in London, and Spotless has no qualms about going into the dirty details of death, including beautifully shot crime scenes. That's also the gist of Spotless, a hidden gem on Netflix that never got the fanfare it deserved, largely because it debuted in the United States as an Esquire Network - yes, Esquire Network was a thing back in 2015 - original series. Ozark is all about keeping things clean and staying ahead of the bad guys. ĭenis Ménochet and Marc-André Grondin, Spotless
What begins with family disputes ends up devolving into crime and murder, but it's the creeping sense of doom in a beautiful place that will most remind you of Ozark. Like Ozark and Jason Bateman, Bloodline is fronted by one of TV's great leading men in Kyle Chandler, who plays local detective John Rayburn, a member of a supremely messed-up and powerful family buried in secrets. In this case, the Florida Keys serve as the picturesque setting that provides cover for corruption and criminality, which only further exposes its characters to the series' questions of the extents of morality. You know how you watch Ozark, and someone will get grotesquely blown up in an explosion, and then all of a sudden there will be this gorgeous drone shot of the Ozarks, and you think to yourself, maybe I should take the wife and kids down to Missour-uh for a vacation? The series' stunning scenery is just as engrossing as the crime, and that feeling is also all over Netflix's Bloodline. Kyle Chandler and Linda Cardellini, Bloodline
From the show that paved the way for Ozark to some undiscovered gems that follow the same model, these shows will provide the next best thing. If you're looking for more shows featuring someone forced into a life of crime, violent battles between drug cartels, or families hiding secrets, we've put together a list of seven shows that will tide you over. But until then, Ozark fans can bide time by watching other shows like Ozark.
That's perfect timing to counter all the holiday cheer you'll be sick of with episode after episode of Marty Byrde ( Jason Bateman) being a bad man (or is he just surviving?), Wendy ( Laura Linney) making her own devious arrangements, and Ruth ( Julia Garner) doing Ruth things while everyone tries to not get killed. Netflix has announced that the first seven-episode half of Ozark Season 4, the series' last, will be released on Jan. Season 4 of Netflix's drama Ozark is coming, and praise the streaming gods, because we finally know exactly when. Laura Linney and Jason Bateman, Ozark Netflix
