Ozark: The Toll (2017)
Great first season, but final episode pushed believability
****SPOILERS****
This is a great 'cleanup' episode to a first very impressive season. Bateman continues to baffle us with his love him/ hate him character. The great Laura Linney, sensational as always, accelerates her power as her character gains dimension. I hope season 2 will develop Charlotte, who is a little wasted so far. The Jonah character is great as the time bomb - no one knows what he is capable of.
****SPOILERS****
Two issues that really seemed like they pushed it, and I try not to nit-pick on this stuff: 1) The drowning/baptism was absolutely manipulative scripting - when you are baptizing, you pray before, during and after. The whole thing was a contrived 'gotcha', IMO. 2) How could Darlene Snell have gotten the shotgun off of the wall rack, walked past the table and then shot Del without his body guard, standing 3 feet away, reacting?
Still, great show, looking forward to more!!
