Created by Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams, Ozark premiered in 2017 as a Netflix original. The series follows financial planner Marty who is forced to relocate his family from Chicago to the summer resort community Ozarks in order to set up a money laundering operation there and make amends to a Mexican drug cartel.
The first season of Ozark received positive reviews from the critics with Jason Bateman being especially praised for his performance. For his work in season one, Bateman received two Primetime Emmy Awards nominations in categories Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. The second season, which premiered back in August, met with mixed reviews.
