That cinematography in Ozark is superb, as is pretty much everything about it.

Must admit, 3 episodes into BB and I'm struggling to see why it's so highly rated. I'll persevere for a little longer.

BB is the most overhyped series ever,i think people just went along with the praise so as to be seen as cool and relevant.

Ozark knocks spots off it for watchability and involvement.

Finished S3 of Ozark last night. I thought this season was superb throughout - a real ratcheting up of tension and can't wait to see where they take it for the 4th and final season. Onto Breaking Bad tonight to see what all the fuss is about.

Took me a while to get into it Ozark, probably about 5-6 episodes even, wouldn't have looked out of place in the top 10 on BH's thread imo, great show.

I think if maybe you did it in a couple of years Ozark would be a top 10 maybe 5 show. The fact a lot of people haven't heard of it yet and its still a fair way to go i imagine in its story concolusion, people overlooked it.

Ozark is very high on my list of favourites. I've been a big fan of Jason Bateman since Arrested Development.

The storyline, the fact that you can't really predict where it's going, the character development and the cinematography are all absolutely top notch.

As for breaking bad comparisons - I never really got BB. Watched about 3 series and never really got the hype

For me it is very similar to Breaking Bad. Really liked the 1st series of Ozark but after that lost interest. Don't understand the hype

For me, I think people see in 'Ozark' the 'potential' of what might come to pass. So, on that front I absolutely agree with you.

But, that also led to the downfall of 'BB', when it didn't live up to that potential. I find these kind of shows annoying because it leads nowhere, ultimately.

Has anyone finished Deutschland 89 yet?

Bit of a generalisation.

I watched it well after it was relevant. The whole lot was out already, and the hype had died down. I also went into it with a mindset that it was probably going to be overrated.

And I thought it was great. I don't consider it the best or my favourite, and I have oftennsaid the groundbreaking claims, that ground had been broken before. But it is still great tv, and while there may be more hype than it deserves, 'the most overrated' is probably a bit of a stretch.

Rob, you won't know 3 episodes in. It is like judging a book 30 pages in. You may still geel that way half way in, fair enough, won't be alone. But if you end up enjoying it as it starts to click, then enjoy it and go with it.

I've watched the first 2 episode's but found it to be really slow paced so far, does it liven up, worth sticking with?

"Slow paced"? Maybe you should stick to Beverly Hills Cop.

Queuing up the final season from More4 HD.

D-83 (1st) season was fantastic, D-86 (2nd) season couldn't live up to the East vs West German tension of the premiere season. I'm hoping that D-89 (3rd) season goes out with a bang.

Of course. I've committed myself to watching 2 series whatever I think because I know some people have said that S1 didn't really go anywhere and it only clicked in S2. I don't dislike what I've seen (a couple of bits were pointlessly gory IMO) but I realise it's early days yet.
