Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Just watched the first two seasons of Better Things on Hulu. Love it so far. Louis CK was canceled after the second season, so I’m interested to see how different season 3 is without him being involved.

I felt S3 took a big dip, but S4 started to find its own voice without Louis looming over everything

Just finished season 3. It might have been my favorite, actually. Really looking to season 4 and eventually 5.

Finally started Ozark. About 7 episodes in.

Meh.

Meh.

It's a pretty standard Netflix show.

Right now I'd say below average. But that's a lot of show left to watch.

interesting, i loved that show

Right now it feels like the pitch was: "Ok, so it's like Breaking Bad but without the tension. Oh! And also it's super hard to see and bro-y."

[epilogue]

But it has gotten better with each episode and I have a lot left to go. I'm interested to see what happens and I'll definitely finish season one. I don't hate it. But I expected to like it more.

I would say Ozark is, over the course of its run, *significantly* less "bro-y" than Breaking Bad, though it has been a few years since I saw the first season.

It's already shifted that tone a ton from the pilot to episode 4.

"Bro-y" also isn't probably the best word but I can't think of what word I'm looking for.

I think I know what you mean though. Wendy does appear as a shrew/scold/nag in the first half of the first season, getting in the way of Marty and complicating all his cool guy plans to save the family. But like I said, over the course of the show, it departs *significantly* from that framework (whereas, I would argue, Breaking Bad never really did).

Good to know.

I thought BB did a great job of never falling into that trap. But that's for another thread. Either way..

I'll stick with Ozark. Your take coupled with knowing doug really likes it goes a long way.

I'd call Ozark tier-1b tv. Never reaches the BB/Wire/Deadwood level but a strong show overall. Julia Garner is fantastic.
