![]() ![]() They might be nice, kind and loving to their family. Laura, how do you rate the Byrdes as parents? That’s where laughs live, when the audience can see that they’re not really pulling it off. Those flashes of doubt, vulnerability and losing their dignity is often hilarious. They’re constantly exposed as being out of their depth. Jason, how is it that “Ozark” is so bleak, but also manages to find comedy?īateman: The route to the humor is that these people are trying to play dress-up. She’s clicking into something she understands, it makes sense to her. She’s in a new place, surrounded by new people with some Proustian things going on because of her own background. She’s at a point in her life where she’s stripped of a past identity. I don’t think she thinks of it as criminal.

In the first season of Netflix’s critically acclaimed crime drama, “Ozark,” the tourist destination of Osage Beach, Mo., offers little to financial planner on the lam Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman), his philandering wife, Wendy (Laura Linney), and their two kids besides continuous peril, a boat dock wired for electrocution and sketchy characters. ![]()
