Breaking Bad >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ozarks

BrBa - best show ever Ozarks - unwatchably mediocre

Ozark isn’t as good but “unwatchably mediocre” is a complete lie. The only place Ozark truly dropped the ball was a very rushed/sudden ending.

There's something almost hypnotizing about seeing Marty trying to figure his way out of a jam. And like clockwork, someone thinks they have a better idea and screws it all up.

Ozark is worth watching for Julia Garner alone. Not to mention Laura Linney.

Tom Pelphrey also did an amazing piece of acting in that show. That whole diatribe in the taxi was so good.

Honestly I know a lot of people loved it but I found the writing so insultingly implausible after a while that I couldn’t watch any more.

BCS > BB. For me. I know not everyone will agree with that.

Reasonable argument! I still give BrBa the edge. Both spectacular.

That’s fair! I think the biggest difference for me was that I binged BB and the character changes were just too quick, it was jarring and I had to quit. BCS I watched much more episodically, and that was way better for the slow burn.
