My Dripping Sleep

[bobcobb301 · 7/10 · 21 August 2017]

The supporting cast is really weak including a horribly miscast Jordana Spiro, but this setting and this show is starting to grow on me. While it is clearly attempting to emulate Breaking Bad, it is still working to focus on the Ozarks and it's own specific universe.

Jason Bateman needs to display more emotion though. It seems he is going for the slightly disgruntled look in every scene, whether it calls for it or not.

Getting interesting

"My dripping sleep" further advances the plot and introduced a potentially interesting dynamics. Marty manages to persuade Rachel to let him invest in Blue Cat but she's suspicious of him. We get to learn more about Ruth and her family. I don't know Ruth's a bit annoying but I like her and Marty together, can't wait to see how their relationship develops. Another noteworthy segment is that of an Undercover FBI agent who is out to expose the Byrde family. Introduction of the law enforcement adds more pressure to Marty. He can't afford to make mistakes. The stakes are even higher now.

Suspicions and threats

[AvionPrince16 · 7/10 · 14 December 2022]

I enjoyed the episode. We still follow Burde who start the business and get some help for the money. He will still have the need of sex. Things will get more interesting when the cop will tell them that they are investigating the disappearance of the Burde partner in work and that will make us wondering how they will manage to keep an eye to Burde and his family. The girl in the band who tried to steal the money will work with Burde but only for the purpose to know more about Burde secret fabrication. We will see some threat also with the daughter's friend and that will make her pretty insecure with them

A nice episode mixed with some tensions and some interesting moments: wondering how the police will gather more info about the Burde. And how Burde will earn the money and is he gonna talk about his sexual need about his wife? And the Navarro will be patient for all this time? Really? And the girl who work with Burde what she will do and she will really kill him? Need to see more.

Jason and Laura have good chemistry together

"My Dripping Sleep," the third episode of Netflix's buzzy crime drama Ozark, is ostensibly about how quickly the walls are closing in on Marty Byrde, his family, and the half-baked money-laundering scheme that will keep them all alive. Before they can even finish moving into their new home - hell, before the opening scene is over! - that home is under surveillance by FBI Agent Petty, the dogged, dumb investigator who makes Twin Peaks' Albert Rosenfield look like a charm-school graduate. This comes mere hours after Marty's wife Wendy told their kids that their dad works for a Mexican drug cartel, further splintering the family bonds with what daughter Charlotte feels was a transparent attempt to alienate them from Marty, rather than trust them with the truth. And the cartel may be stalking them too, as a parking-lot staredown between Wendy and two grim-looking dudes in a black SUV implies. And there's no shortage of local trouble to worry about either. Even as Marty pushes himself deep into sleep deprivation in a desperate attempt to launder the cartel's money as fast as possible, the low-life Langhornes - led by their sole female member, the insightful, intelligent, and ruthless Ruth - play low-level mindgames and plot Marty's eventual murder. It's enough to make you wonder how they can possibly make it. Or it would make you wonder that, if it weren't so obvious that the game is rigged so that they will. About a third of the way through Ozark's debut season, the pitfalls of its premiere, which rushed Marty through an entire antihero-drama series story arc before the closing credits rolled, have yet to be surmounted. All the threats he and his family face in this episode simply remind you that the show painted itself into a corner in its pilot, and is going to have to either scale the wall or get its shoes awfully messy to get out again. Maybe Marty's headed for Ned Stark territory, and it'll be Charlotte and Ruth's show to run before long anyway.

Something is wrong

[haydar-hassan · 5/10 · 21 July 2022]

The characters are really losing to follow with the story. There is a lot ongoing but I don't feel any emotions with the actors. At some point we are not feeling connected to the show. I hope the end is better.

Status Quo

[Oktay_Tuna · 5/10 · 12 July 2020]

I really liked the Pilot and the second episode was also good. This episode was kind of a filler, it is very similar to the 2nd episode. The acting is definitely not that good for side characters and the apparence of lame jokes every 5 minutes is also unnecessary. The story doesn't progress that much and other than the main family's inside relations, there is nothing intriguing. I really like the inner circle of this show(father/mother/daughter/son), everything anout them is terific. Not good in any standards, but promising for the future of the show.
