25 Must-See Shows on Netflix This Year

21. Ozark

Ozark is a dark, crime drama starring Jason Bateman and Laura Linney. The basis is rather simple: Marty (Bateman) and Wendy (Linney) Byrde make the decision to move their family to the Lake of the Ozarks in order to become money launderers. However, what they think will be a simple scheme spirals out of their control as they become involved with local criminals and the cartel. Ozark has received an abundance of critical praise, even earning much of its cast Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. In fact, Bateman won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in 2019. This is not a lighthearted watch, but it is masterfully crafted and keeps people on the edge of their seats as this family delves further and further into the world of crime.
