Ozark (2017)
Oh Ozark, Why Must You Occupy My Productive Time?
This little crime drama tv series about a money laundering family making moves for survival had me on my couch for a good part of the available productive time I have for myself. The premise is so fascinating, and the cinematography is so mesmerizing that it keeps you hooked despite any moments that may seem slow. Laura Linney's performance is multilayered, and there's a hint of lust for the crime life in her demeanor. Jason Bateman kicks ass as the wise talking head of the family who although an immoral person for his involvement with a brutal drug lord, is extremely witty and always under control, even when he is really freaking out. Perfect casting for all of the supporting performances, engaging writing, and great pacing. Check it out for your couch's sake.
Malcolm in the Middle (2000)
Consistently funny - shows today can't compare
Back when I was 5 or 6, I remember Malcolm in the Middle playing on Sunday nights. I also, on other days, looked for reruns. The show ended and years past, so I decided to binge watch the show on Netflix to relive the show. The show never gets old, every character is hilarious, who are played perfectly by Frankie Muniz, Jane Kaczmarek, Bryan Cranston, Justin Berfield, Erik Per Sullivan, and Chris Masterson. The supporting characters, like Stevie, Craig, Piama, Otto, Spangler, Eric, Jessica, Abe, and Cynthia provide tremendous material for the side stories on the show. The first couple seasons featured a young Malcolm with the lead stories. Later on, Hal and Lois became the focus of the show, with side stories for the kids. Francis always stayed an important, even towards the end when he wasn't shown as much. All in all, a fantastic for kids, teens, and adults. Basically anyone with a sense of humor will enjoy the genius child Malcolm and his roller coaster life.
