Ozark: The Gold Coast (2018)
Get the hate correct
I don't understand all the hate directed at the characters Wendy and Charlotte. Yes, they are annoying, but Charlene is a completely ridiculous character. Dumb as a rock red neck that is bitter and completely irrational, yet somehow she is a criminal mastermind that outwits everyone.
Marty is pretty dumb also when he asks how are we supposed to deal with Darlene,"what are we going to do, have her killed?" The idea that he doesn't understand the answer is yes is just ridiculous. He is supposed to be brilliant and dispassionate. Sometimes the writers seem to be lost in a dope haze.
My rating is based on the remainder of the storyline hanging together.
Also, BTW, those claiming that Justified and Breaking Bad were more realistic obviously are paid.
The Originals: Behind the Black Horizon (2016)
What the Heck
The first episode for the show in season 1 has Elijah, Nicklaus and Rebekah arriving in New Orleans after escaping from Europe. Throughout seasons 1 and 2, even the first half of this season, we get flashbacks to their upbringing and early years in Norway, Denmark, France and one guesses the UK, given the Vikings being invaders. But this episode we are expected to believe they were originally from the state of VA. We know from the storyline their beginnings were in 900 AD.
How did did they originate in a state, even a country that didn't exist in 900AD? How did Dhalia take Freya to a country almost 4,000 miles away? Has this season shifted into some sort of parallel universe?
The show has a great storyline, but this episode is ruining it. I have to wonder what went through the minds of the writers.
