In the past few years, there have been only a handful of shows that were truly
great. Shows that make one dive deep into the narration and storyline, to get in
touch with each of the characters personally. And that is exactly what Netflix’s
crime drama series Ozark did. Seeing the show succeed the way it has in the past
years, it is natural to question the process of the show’s making. And to share
this experience and process, actors, directors, and writer all came together.

say about the show, its atmosphere, and how it felt to work on it.

It is no overstatement if we say that Ozark is one of the best shows of the
recent times. Hence, to work on the Netflix Original
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/] can truly be considered a lucky
chance. The show’s writer Chris Mundy has exactly the same feeling about the
show. “It is not very often that you realize in real time how lucky you are to
be getting to do something,” said Mundy.



Jason Bateman [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/jason-bateman] is one of the most
important people when it comes to Ozark. He acted in and directed the thriller
series. Thus, it is also important to see what vision he has of the show. While

always thought and dreamed that it would be.” He even called the show “a real
team sport“.
