Marco Polo has to be one of the most underrated shows of all time. Production value is right up there with Game of Thrones and yet it's 1/10 as popular. I especially love the 2nd season.


Really sad they haven't renewed it for the 3rd season but hopefully they pick it up later.
 
Ozark is wonderful. If you liked Breaking Bad, and you like forests and lakes, you should like this.

Jason Bateman and Laura Linney are both fantastic.
 
Yeah, Narcos is excellent. Season 3 was easily as good as the previous two seasons.

Loved Ozark
 
I just finished season one of Ozark. It stars Jason Bateman as a financial advisor who must go with his family (wife played by Laura Linney) to the Ozarks to launder money and right a situation for the Mexican cartel who was his client.

Very, very good. It gets an 8.9 on imdb. I think that's a tiny bit too high. I'd probably give it an 8.5-8.6. There are some plot details here or there that are questionable and could've been improved upon by the writer(s) but overall, it's really freakin' good and gets better as the season progresses. This may be the exact vehicle Bateman needed to show his chops. He has a few moments in this which are really impressive monologues that are Spacey-esque where you know he's the smartest guy in the room.

I will have to check it out, although the wife has had her fill of "breaking bad"-esque shows. She wants some optimism where it seems the current trend is bleak gritty realism with real pain and suffering (oh yeah, you think breaking bad was real pain and suffering, come watch these guys go through pain and then suffer, oh wait there is another one even more bleak? with witty reparte like "you are goddamned right"? I am IN), or something like that. Might have to watch it alone like I did Fargo and Hannibal.
 
So is Netflix going to go down? Disney backing out with them, they are supposedly raising prices again. I have a harder and harder time finding family-friendly stuff to watch and most of the original content tries to out TV-MA each other at every turn, although personally I like a lot of it, it isn't really conducive to watching with my 16 year old daughter and sometimes her 14-16 year old friends.

Your 16 year old can't watch TV Mature rated stuff?
