- According to Nielsen data, Ozark was among the most-watched shows on Netflix in 2020 -- in fact, it was the most-watched Netflix original series for the year.
- Season 3 of Netflix's Ozark picked up six months after the events of the prior season. In it, the Byrdes' casino is finally up and running, but Marty and Wendy fight to control the family's ultimate destiny.
- Season 4 of Ozark is in production now.
When we last left Marty and Wendy Byrde, the money-laundering masterminds and American partners of a Mexican drug cartel in Netflix's buzzy, super-addictive original series Ozark, cartel boss Omar Navarro had both Wendy and Marty locked in an embrace. His back was to the camera, while the Byrdes' blood-splattered faces stare in mute horror at the off-screen body of the cartel's American lawyer. She'd just been shot to death, and the shock of that final image before Ozark Season 3 faded to black was a perfect encapsulation of how this series (starring Jason Bateman as a shady accountant-turned-casino owner working with a drug cartel) has become a kind of Breaking Bad 2.0.
This series, one of the most-watched shows on Netflix, has it all -- a storyline that's propelled along by the machinations of a family (the Byrdes) who essentially break bad; abundant violence, shootouts, and menace to keep you on the edge of your seat; flawed lead characters that you care about; and a protagonist in the form of Bateman's Byrde who, while he might not have the sinister edge of Walter White, will nevertheless still go down as one of the most interesting, fully-realized TV characters of this decade. And the series -- for which Season 4 is in production now -- is in fact so good that it achieved an impressive distinction in 2020.
