I'm enjoying The Man in the High Castle. Looking forward to season 3 starting this October.

My only bitch about Ozark is how dark every scene is.

I think they knew.  She played Kimmy in The Americans and it was clear from that troubling turn that she would be a star.

Great point - Julia Garner was very good as a fairly minor recurring character on The Americans, one of the better series of this decade. She is awesome as Ruth in Ozark.

We've watched the first 2 of season 2, and she is totally a star.

As for the series itself, it's much better than I had expected. My wife loves it, too, and she doesn't always get into this kind of dark show.

Godless was spectacular
Apparently we were 3 episodes from the end of Godless and i stand corrected....it is way more than 'solid', spectacular works for me. 

I was disappointed at the end when I said 'cool, it's like Fargo where they keep the same theme and change the story/characters' and the Mrs informed me that it was just a miniseries.

Wife and I binged season 2 of Ozark over the last few days. Found this season was a little more predictable than the first....but still Fing fantastic. They do such a good job of building suspense and tension throughout a scene. Even when I guessed what was going to happen I was still on the edge of my seat. Can't wait for season 3

Several storylines were VERY predictable, and I often felt like there was probably too much going. It was still good.

I am very excited for S3. I'm optimistic that Wendy's last lecture foreshadows the Byrde's in power, instead of constant scrambling schemes and fear.

Same with my wife--no Deadwood, Breaking Bad, Justified, The Wire etc, but I think Jason Bateman was her gateway into Ozark (somehow she missed the Timothy Olyphant train  :o).

Just finished Season 2. Very enjoyable.

As others have said, there were quite a few predictable moments, but I still really liked it because they have so many interesting characters that are very well-acted. For example, I really like the way they developed Jonah's character, as well as Ruth's father. Every scene Cade was on the screen was extremely tense.

Julia Garner is a star. Loved the way she said: "I don't know sh!t about f%ck!" ... except now I'll probably start saying it and I'll have to get my mouth washed out with soap!!
