Shows Like Ozark And Breaking Bad

In anticipation of the fourth and final season of Ozark, which is set to launch on Netflix in 2020, fans have been keeping tabs on any fresh information about the show’s development or air date. There is still no word on the latter, although filming of the popular crime series is nearing its end. The Lake of the Ozarks will have to wait until 2022 for our next visit, as production is expected to wrap up in October of 2021, according to Looper.

4. Better Call Saul

What’s going on here? We can’t leave out Better Call Saul, the spin-off and prequel to Breaking Bad, because it’s just as riveting. It’s been a while since we’ve seen Jimmy McGill (Odenkirk) turn into “Saul Goodman,” the self-absorbed criminal lawyer.

5. Bloodline

Bloodline

What’s going on here? While the darker aspects of the program are explored, there is a dramatic contrast in Bloodline’s stunning ocean views and palm trees in comparison to the Ozarks’ beautiful environment.

11. The Mosquito Coast

The Mosquito Coast

What’s going on here? A skilled off-the-grid inventor, Allie Fox (Theroux), is forced to relocate his family due to criminal activity.

His wife’s involvement makes the narrative much more fascinating.
