Odd music choice.
Looks like a Winters Bone TV series in some ways

Looks good. Shows like this are better than movies now. I first heard that from William Friedkin during a Killer Joe interview.

I'll also have to check this out as this is my old stomping ground (lived at Lake of the Ozarks from 1983-1990 and have vacationed there several times since). Interesting that IMDb shows it was primarily filmed in Georgia, but do list the Bagnell Dam Strip as a filming location also. I spent many wasted nights from my youth on that strip! It was almost like the strip was exempt from the legal drinking age (at least in the '80s).

I love Laura Linney so this is a guaranteed watch.
Why can't Jason Bateman get the money from the banana stand? There's always money in the banana stand!

I'm on episode 3 & am enjoying this a lot more than Netflix's most recent offerings. Bateman is fantastic, I never really think of him as a serious actor but he's nailing it.
Plus I can't say it enough but I really, really appreciate how Netflix feeds me a steady diet of 4k content. Who else does this for thirteen bucks a month?

I am now on the last episode which is 80 minutes on its own, so I will be savoring it. For those that are staying the course wait until you get to episode 7. The flashback episode.

Just finished it -- that final episode went for jugular! Wow, here's hoping it gets renewed for a second season. I think Jason Bateman will get an Emmy nomination. He was great.

Yeah, just finished episode 3 and am totally sucked in. Yes, there are many parallels with Breaking Bad, but this show is surprisingly good... way better than I thought it'd be. And yeah, Jason Bateman can actually act!

Finishing this in 2 days. Great acting. Hope it gets renewed for a second season.

Watched the first episode and really liked it. Not sure how I feel about Jason Bateman (I still remember him as a teenager on Silver Spoons and the Hogan Family and trying to get past that), as I hope I buy him as his character the same way I buy James Galdofini as Tony Soprano or Bryan Cranston as Walter White.

Wife and I watched the first two episodes last night. We're hooked. I felt tense the whole time.

If that's the only exposure you've had to Bateman, you need to do yourself a favor and watch "Arrested Development" (TV show) and "The Gift" (thriller).

Towards the end of the show I also got a "Justified" vibe to it, so we can say it's a mix of Breaking Bad and Justified.
I'm sure folks have already picked up on the Justified bits.

My wife and I binged this over the weekend and we LOVED it. Great writing and stellar acting from everyone (except maybe Charlotte), one of the best Netflix originals to date.

She's a relatively new actress. She's cute. She plays a 15 year old but is 18 in real life.
The curly haired girl looks like jailbait on the show, but is actually 23. I was like woah. I'm sure she cleans up well, though.
