Just got through ep7 last night. Similar to Breaking Bad, Ozark uses the same plot device:
Story revolves around an ordinary smark-thinking guy (in appearance) who resorts to or participates in some criminal enterprise. The protagonist is a morally sound person but compromises ethically to achieve a certain goal (usually money). Martin Byrd is hard working, family man who, for reasons unknown at this point, resorted to laundering money for a drug cartel. He's doing something highly illegal and immoral but not on the same level as a drug kingpin or cartel guy. The cartel guy murders and tortures people and sells drugs that ruin lives. The cartel guy is a much more morally depraved and evil individual.
However, in order for the ordinary guy - whether it's Walter White or Martin Byrd - to operate, succeed and survive in the criminal underworld, he must become ruthless and diabolical as his counterparts.
It's this conflict that makes these shows so intriguing.

Finished season 1 and what bothers me about this show that regular people with no ties to the criminal world is helping Martin Byrd like the lodge owner and buddy. Too many people in a small town knows his identity and what he does including those teenage boys and the priest. It's too unrealistic for me in that department that he can walk around and reveal to people what he does and they're just fine with it, He needs to be more discreet. At least Walter White kept his identity hidden from regular joes. Nobody knew walter's identity except the people he trusted and worked with.Last edited by flipbjefrox; 07-29-2017, 02:36 PM.
