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.

recent times. Hence, to work on the Netflix Original

show. “It is not very often that you realize in real time how lucky you are to
be getting to do something,” said Mundy.

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