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.

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

Meh.

It's a pretty standard Netflix show.

Mickey wrote: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.

Mickey wrote: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).
