    Totally used to it now. On episode 5 already. Didn’t know Billy Bob was in it - fantastic actor! Enjoying it very much.

    I was a latecomer to Ozark. Recently raced through first 2 series and currently 4 episodes into series 3. Its about as close to binge watching I have done, really good.

    Season one is just brilliant for me. But as you say it is good all round. One of the best shows ever made.

    I agree. As I said, I had initial reservations about Martin Freeman playing an American role, but after half an hour, it was totally normal. I even heard myself pronouncin' things in a Minnesota accent once fully into the show :) Reservations have arisen again now that Ewan McGregor is in the third season, but I'll see it through. You say the third isn't so good? The thing I liked about the first one, is that it's in a similar vain to the others I like - Breaking Bad, Ozark etc, where things get progressively worse for the "hero", who is desperately trying to make things better, but in reality is just getting dragged deeper and deeper into the mire, until they start to embrace their new lifestyle. The second season started off a bit slow, but in the end turned into an old fashioned Western style scernario - two families in a turf war. Great stuff!

    Keep going. The last two episodes are pretty special. I was about to give up after the third episode, was too depressing and also the use of the "c**t" word was getting tiresome. I think the mooted Series Three will pick up on the other characters a bit more.

    Bit late tonight, but maybe tomorrow I shall make time for an episode or two from my 'The Avengers -- The Complete Emma Peel Megaset' DVDs. The afterworld had better be on its best behaviour, now that Steed and Mrs. Peel are reunited!

    Couple of mini series I've enjoyed recently:

    Mare of Easttown - gritty US police drama with Kate Winslet in the leading role.

    Showtrial - British courtroom drama about a posh student accused of murdering another student. Deals well with the way the press sensationalise events and demonise suspects.
