good you didnt read and dont worry i wont spoil anything but

while i agree its reminiscent of BB your last point isn't why. BB is about a guy whos just a teacher and gets diagnosed with cancer. so hes broke and now has cancer so hes like fuck it im gonna sell meth. money laundering comes in because its dirty money

ozark is a guy who is just your average accountant who gets a client that works for a drug cartel and needs his money laundered.

the meth in BB is like the money laundering in ozark.


ya thats what i was meaning to say with the previous post

ozark has him starting with laundering, then he ends up getting wrangled into other aspects of the business (more direct contact with drugs, violence, evading law enforcement) whereas BB started with the drugs then get into the other stuff. same essential pieces, just moved around.

that seems to be the trendy way for netflix shows to do it these days ... they end season 1 of a show on a note that is somewhat conclusive, but leaves open a few threads in case a 2nd season is ordered

Overall my impressions of the show:
-damn charlotte was hot. She is like a younger, skinner version of August Ames. very similar face
-seems like Bateman plays the same character he's always played, the same old role just gets plugged into a different type of universe this time. I wonder if that character is all he will ever be.
-the main mexican guy + old farmer (snell) really bothered me. I could barely make out their dialogue, half the time i'd skip back and turn on subtitles to see what they said. really annoying to watch like that

I enjoyed it. Didn't see that ending coming. Curious as to where it goes for season 2.

questions that occurred to me:

If the cash he is laundering is supposed to have come from selling drugs, when why does he get it in nice clean stacks of $100 bills? At street level, the drugs were exchanged for wll-worn 5/10/20's, right? How do the dealers convert it to $100s straight from the press?

Didn't Jeff Foxworthy make it so that the term 'redneck' has lost it's negative connotation? Isn't it now a tear of endearment embraced by all the rednecks in America?

At the end, why did the local sheriff insist in a narrow interpretation of the FBI's search warrant, making them leave without going up to the house? Is the audience supposed to assume that the sheriff is on the Snell's payroll?

He gets the money directly from the cartel, people that buy directly from the cartel, use large bills for their purchases as they don't nickel and dime shit. Maybe you've never bought drugs, but there's a big difference between picking up a couple grams off a street level guy, buying a couple ounces off cartel runners and buying lbs off cartel higher ups.

I've never dealt with the higher ups of course, I never sold drugs, I just did them and I only ever bought at most a few ounces for personal use. When getting those amounts in Washington, you deal with the cartel in Tacoma or Seattle. They don't accept bills smaller than 20s and they don't give change. You bring exact cash or you get shorted a bit. None of the fuckers speak English.

I'm sure they have denominations of cash, but if you're buying directly from the highest level, you're buying hundreds of thousands worth at a time and you're paying for it with high denomination bills.
