Ozark – the acclaimed drama series that’s available to stream with a Netflix subscription – is responsible for more than a few major developments. It reportedly earned great viewership on the aforementioned streaming service and made Emmy winners out of some of its stars. Aside from that, though, the series is also the reason why actors Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey hooked up. Those two lovebirds are still together, and it’s wild to think that it’s now been four years now since Pelphrey and Cuoco first coupled up.

Some may not remember – or may not even be aware – that Cuoco and Pelphrey actually met at the Ozark Season 4 premiere back in 2022. And, from there, the two stars have been cultivating a relationship that still seems to be going strong. With this week marking their four-year anniversary, both actors took to social media to pay tribute to each other. Cuoco shared two photos on Instagram, one including a framed snapshot of her and Pelphrey and another featuring a lovely bouquet of flowers:

Cue the “Awws,” because that really truly is an adorable post. I also love that it’s attracted some sweet responses from fellow actresses like Margarita Levieva and Alyssa Milano. Pelprey’s post also received some considerable love on Instagram, as the Task star shared a sweet photo of he and his fiancé posing while wearing some truly comfy-looking loungewear. Pelphrey also dropped in a lovely caption, with which he directly referenced meeting his soon-to-be-wife at the Ozark premiere. Check it out:

Interestingly enough, there was a time when it almost seemed that these two lovebirds wouldn’t cross paths. Cuoco – who shouted out Pelphrey during their third anniversary last year – recently explained how her manager initially tried to set her up with the Iron Fist star shortly after her divorce from Karl Cook. Initially, Cuoco thought it was too soon to jump back into the dating game but, of course, the two would eventually meet regardless. The pair welcomed a child, now-2-year-old daughter Matilda in 2023 and got engaged in 2024.

Of course, a key piece of info that should be mentioned here is the fact that Tom Pelphrey was at that premiere four years ago, because he was a member of the Ozark cast. Pelphrey notably played the role of Ben Davis during the third and fourth seasons of the acclaimed crime drama and received praise for his portrayal. For his work as a series regular, Pelphrey received nominations for a Critics’ Choice Award, SAG Award and more. He also earned a Primetime Emmy nod for his guest appearance in the fourth and final season.

Many still view Chris Mundy’s Ozark as one of Netflix’s signature titles, and for good reason. It’s been lauded for its writing, directing and performances from its cast, including Jason Bateman (also serving in director and EP roles) Laura Linney and Julia Garner. The show’s legacy is certainly impressive, and those who watch it may understand the hype after doing so. All that aside, though, I just love that the coupling of Tom Pelphrey and Kaley Cuoco has a sweet little link to the show.

Those who haven’t checked out Ozark for themselves should stream all four seasons on Netflix now. Also, anyone looking for newer drama series can find them on the 2026 TV schedule.

The American South is full of lore and stories. The nature of the United States is such that every region is unique, and that means every region has its own legends and history to draw from. Over the years, television has tapped into that rich culture of the South with some of the best shows of all time. This is dedicated to those shows and those stories, the TV shows of the American South.

Atlanta

The city of Atlanta has been called "the capital of the South," so it only makes sense that the show named for the town, Atlanta, starring (and created by) Donald Glover, should feature on this list. The show won a slew of awards for its storytelling in the modern South of a music manager (Glover) helping his client, played by Brian Tyree Henry, navigate the music industry, and America, for that matter.

Matlock

There isn't a more classic Southern show than Matlock. We're talking about the original here, of course, the one set in Atlanta starring Andy Griffith as Ben Matlock. It's a stone-cold classic show (and frequent butt of jokes, especially on The Simpsons), and no list about shows about the South would be complete without it. The modern remake is great too, but alas, it is set in New York City.

Friday Night Lights

High school football is a huge part of modern Southern culture, and Friday Night Lights tells that story better than anything else. Over five seasons, following a small town high school football team led by Coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chadler), which is based on a book (and a movie that followed) by Buzz Bissinger, the show did a deep dive into the culture and brought it to life in inspiring fashion.

Treme

New Orleans is the most unique city in America. It's truly like no other place on this continent. Treme brings the city to life like no other show ever has. Like creator David Simon's other famous HBO show, The Wire, the city is the main character here. The people who live in the city are what make it New Orleans, and in Treme, we see every aspect of life in the Crescent City.

A Different World

While the show that A Different World was spun off from, The Cosby Show, was set in New York City, A Different World follows Huxtable's daughter Denise (Lisa Bonet) as she goes off to college at the fictional Hillman College in Virginia. Bonet left after just one season, but the show still went on to become an iconic Black sitcom.

Bad Monkey

There's an old saying that the further south you go in Florida, the more north you get, but author Carl Hiaasen, who wrote the book that Bad Monkey is based on, has the great ability to show the Southern side of all of Florida. The show, which you can watch with an Apple TV+ subscription, is just a wonderful and hilarious look into life in the Sunshine State that you don't see on the tourism ads.

Dallas

There's nothing like the drama of a rich Southern oil family to get people excited, right? Dallas captivated audiences for 14 seasons and included one of the most celebrated cliff-hangers of all time with "Who Shot J.R.?"

Eastbound & Down

Danny McBride has really figured out how to tap into the humorous side of Southern culture. With shows like The Righteous Gemstones, Vice Principals, and perhaps his best example, the over-the-top-but-wonderful Eastbound & Down. The show, which is available with an HBO Max subscription, is one of the funniest shows about the South ever, even if it strayed in the later seasons. That first season will always be pure comedy gold.

Designing Women

In the 1980s, no sitcom defined Southern charm than Designing Women. Yet another movie set in the great city of Atlanta, the show about the all-female team of a design firm had one of the best casts of any sitcom from the era. A cast that included Delta Burke, Dixie Carter, Jean Smart, and Annie Potts. In the later seasons, Jan Hooks got in on the fun as well.

The Walking Dead

Though The Walking Dead is a story that could happen anywhere, almost all of it takes place in the South. The show starts in Atlanta (including an early mission to the CDC in the capital of Georgia), and ends with the crew mostly living outside of Washington, DC, in the Virginia suburbs.

Nashville

Well, as the name says, Nashville is set, of course, in the capital of Country Music. In recent years, starting around when this show debuted in 2012, Nashville, TN, has become the place to live in the South. Everyone from recent college graduates to big stars is flocking to the city with one of the richest music histories in the United States.

The Golden Girls

You might not think of Miami as the South, and to be fair, it doesn't have a ton in cultural common with say, Birmingham, but it's right there on the map, as far south as you can get in the continental U.S., so Golden Girls counts here! The show, which has lived on for decades in syndication, is famous for its zingers and, in the end, its heartfelt message of friendship. It really needs no introduction, does it?

The Waltons

Even if you've never seen The Waltons, a show about a Depression-era family living in the Virginia Appalachian Mountains, you probably know how each episode ended with the tight-knit family saying good night to each other. It oozes Southern sensibilities.

The Dukes Of Hazzard

One of the most popular and most controversial shows on this list has to be The Dukes of Hazzard. Beloved for its daredevil driving scenes and the humorous relationship between cops and bandits, the show was a staple of '70s and '80s TV. In more recent decades, the show has been criticized for its use of the Confederate flag painted on top of the General Lee (which is still a really cool car, regardless).

Tyler Perry's House of Payne

Tyler Perry is a proud resident of Atlanta, and he's invested heavily in developing what has become one of the movie-making capitals of the world. It makes perfect sense that the first sitcom he ever created, Tyler Perry's House of Payne, would be set in the city. The show, which balances silly moments with serious themes, has had a remarkable run on TBS first, and later on BET. It's gone well over 300 episodes, making it one of the most successful sitcoms with a predominantly Black cast.

The Righteous Gemstones

From the demented (and wonderful) mind of Danny McBride, The Righteous Gemstones is simply brilliant. The show, which aired on HBO for four seasons, has a fantastic cast, including McBride, alongside John Goodman, Adam DeVine, Edi Patterson, and some sublime supporting work from Walton Goggins.

The Andy Griffith Show

There may be no show on this list that espouses the gentile way of life in a small, southern town like The Andy Griffith Show. The name of the fictional town in North Caroline, Mayberry, has even become a noun to describe wholesome small towns all across the United States. The legendary show aired a total of 249 episodes over eight seasons on CBS. It also helped launch the career of Ron Howard, of course.

Army Wives

While not strictly a show about life in the South, Army Wives is set on a naval base in Charleston, SC. The popular Lifetime show didn't have the broadest appeal, to be sure, but it had a dedicated fanbase for the seven seasons it was on.

Dexter

Like some others on this list, we'll admit that Dexter doesn't always feel like a "Southern show" since it is set in Miami, but Florida, even South Florida, should definitely count here, right? How much really needs to be said about the now-iconic Showtime show about a serial killer hunting serial killers? At least we can acknowledge that Jon Lithgow plays one of the most ruthless villains in TV history.

Justified

There aren't a ton of shows set in Kentucky, but Justified would probably be the best, even if there were others. This is a show that has shown incredible legs over the years, remaining as popular–if not more popular–than it was when it first aired on FX.

NCIS: New Orleans

NCIS has had a whole lot of spinoffs. NCIS: New Orleans was the second in the franchise when it was spun off in 2014. Though it was surprisingly canceled after it's seventh season on CBS, it still ended up a very successful show in the popular franchise.

CSI: Miami

One of the most popular TV franchises of the early 21st Century is, without a doubt, the CSI group of shows on CBS. The original, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (set in Las Vegas), first hit the airwaves in 2000, and just two years later, David Caruso returned to TV as Horatio Cane in CSI: Miami. For many, including myself, Miami was just as good as its parent show, and ratings showed that. The show aired for 10 seasons and more than 200 episodes.

True Blood

Anne Rice may be the most famous teller of vampire stories to hail from Louisiana, but Charlaine Harris, who wrote the books upon which HBO's True Blood was based, is a close second these days. True Blood is set in the fictional town of Bon Temps, LA, but it is anything but "good times" for the residents, as this neo-gothic classic show highlights again and again.

In The Heat Of The Night

Based loosely on the book and the 1967 film starring Sidney Poitier of the same name, In The Heat Of The Night followed a small town police chief (Carroll O'Connor) and his top detective, Virgil Tibbs (Howard Rollins). The show, which aired first on NBC before moving to CBS, was set in Sparta, Mississippi, and it was unafraid to tackle complex subjects like racism and police corruption.

One Tree Hill

For nine seasons, One Tree Hill transported fans to Wilmington, North Carolina, in the CW TV show. One of the more popular shows among many Millennials, the show still has its die-hard fans today, more than a decade after ending its nine-season run.

Reba

Reba McEntire first entered our hearts as an actor in the cult classic Tremors. She's wonderful in it, and after another decade of parts here and there in movies and TV, the country music legend landed her own sitcom, appropriately called simply Reba. The hard-working McEntire was born and raised in Oklahoma, but the show was set in Houston. In fact, it's weirdly one of the few shows ever set in the Texas metropolis.

Fresh Off The Boat

ABC's Fresh Off The Boat is a unique take on the Southern show, as it features an immigrant family from Taiwan working to make the American Dream happen for them in Orlando, Florida. Constance Wu gave her breakout performance on the show as the hard-charging daughter, Jessica.

Ozark

I get it, some people might push back on Missouri being in the South. I'm from the Show Me State, so I understand. That said, southern MO, especially in the area around Lake of the Ozarks, definitely has more Southern influence than Midwest, so I just have to include the brilliant Netflix original, Ozark.

I Dream Of Jeannie

"The South" might not be the first thing you think of when you think of I Dream of Jeannie, but it was set in Florida. Tony Nelson, Larry Hagman's character who lives with Jeannie (Barbara Eden), is an astronaut, if you remember, living where so many other NASA pilots lived, Cocoa Beach, FL.

True Detective

When I talk about True Detective, I'm usually talking about that brilliant first season. Other seasons of the anthology show have been set in California and Alaska (two states that are definitely not The South), but the first season was set in that most southern of states, Louisiana. The third season was also set in the South, in the hills of Arkansas.

Hart of Dixie

Any show called Hart of Dixie can't be left off this list. It's also one of the few TV shows set in Alabama, so we just had to squeeze in the popular show from The CW, starring Rachel Bilson as a fish-out-of-water New York doctor living in small-town Alabama.

Saving Grace

One place that doesn't feature in a lot of TV shows or movies is Oklahoma City. Saving Grace, starring Holly Hunter, bucks that trend. The TNT show, which aired for three seasons in the late '00s. The show often featured famous spots in the town, and, honestly, it's one of my favorite Holly Hunter roles. The show is underappreciated for that alone, never mind the rest of the excellent cast.

What makes TV crime dramas so alluring? It could be the simple thrill of the action or the satisfaction of seeing evil brought to justice, but, for me, it's the twists and revelations that shake up the story. Let’s revisit some of the most mindblowing moments from some of the best crime TV shows, and make sure to keep our SPOILER WARNING in mind.

Omar's Murder (The Wire)

Creator David Simon's The Wire delivered a shocking death that illustrates how even the most imposing and legendary individuals can expire in an unremarkable fashion. Fans of the acclaimed HBO drama anticipated that Baltimore thief Omar Little (Michael K. Williams) might go down in a showdown against Marlo Stanfield (Jamie Hector), but, instead, was fatally shot by Kenard (Thuliso Dingwall ), a kid who worked for the gangster.

Adrian Solves Trudy’s Murder (Monk)

In the series finale of Monk, Emmy winner Tony Shalhoub's obsessive-compulsive detective, Adrian Monk, finally gets to the bottom of the case that has haunted him for years: the murder of his wife, Trudy (Melora Hardin). The car bomb that killed her was planted by renowned Judge Ethan Rickover (Craig T. Nelson) in order to prevent her from coming clean about their affair from years earlier, which resulted in a pregnancy.

Walt Poisons Brock (Breaking Bad)

One of the best episodes of Breaking Bad sees Walter White (Bryan Cranston) resorting to abhorrent measures in order to take down his most fearsome adversary, Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito). Jesse's (Aaron Paul) new girlfriend's son, Brock, winds up in the hospital, leading him to suspect the boy was poisoned by Walt, who insists that the poisoning was a manipulation tactic by Gus. Indeed, it was a tactic, but orchestrated by Walt, who is revealed to have poisoned Brock so he could pin it on Gus and get Jesse to help him kill the ruthless criminal.

Junior Shoots Tony (The Sopranos)

In the Season 6 premiere of The Sopranos, Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) shows up at the home of his uncle, Junior (Dominic Chianese), who is suffering from dementia and immediately mistakes his nephew for a dead mobster who robbed him years earlier named Gennaro Malanga. Junior reacts by pulling out a pistol and shooting Tony, who passes out before he can call 911, but luckily, he is rushed to the hospital, where he is put in a coma.

Moriarty Takes His Own Life (Sherlock)

Early on in BBC's modernized reimagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's revered mystery stories, Sherlock, fans were introduced to Holmes' (Benedict Cumberbatch) arch nemesis, Jim Moriarty (Andrew Scott). However, in only the second season finale, their quarrel of wits came to an end when the master criminal ended his life right in front of the detective.

Love Is A Killer Too (You)

In Netflix's hit crime TV show, You, serial stalker and killer Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) believes he has found someone who can help tame his dark side in Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti). However, he comes to discover that his seemingly sweet and innocent new lover has homicidal tendencies of her own.

Bones' Parents Have A Criminal History (Bones)

Emily Deschanel's eponymous forensic anthropologist from Bones, Temperance "Bones" Brennan, was abandoned by her parents when she was a teenager. Years later, she would find her mother's remains and, through subsequent investigation, discover that she and Brennan's father were career criminals.

Kristin Shepard Shot J.R. (Dallas)

One of the most iconic cliffhangers in TV history had America wondering who shot J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) in the Season 3 finale of Dallas. The mystery prompted an astonishing phenomenon that lasted the entire summer of 1980 before the primetime soap opera returned for its fourth season premiere, in which it was revealed that Kristin Shepard (Mary Crosby) attempted to kill the notorious oil baron.

Vic Kills Terry (The Shield)

Creator Shawn Ryan's intense, FX original police drama The Shield wasted no time in preparing audiences for what sort of startling twists and turns it had in store. The very first episode ends with the corrupt Det. Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis) murdering federal informant Terry Crowley (Reed Diamond) in cold blood.

The Trinity Killer Murders Rita (Dexter)

Most fans of Dexter would agree that the most wicked adversary Michael C. Hall's homicidal vigilante ever faced is Arthur Mitchell (John Lithgow), a.k.a. The Trinity Killer, especially for his final kill. Dexter manages to take out the sadistic murderer, but not soon enough to prevent him from killing his wife, Rita (Julie Benz), whom he finds in a blood-filled bathtub with his infant son, Harrison, sitting on the floor nearby.

Dana Lewis Is A Murderer (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit)

Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden appeared on multiple episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as Dana Lewis, an FBI agent who strikes up a strong bond with Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay). However, their friendship would come to an end when Lewis is arrested for murdering a woman her ex-boyfriend cheated on her with.

The Yellow King’s Identity (True Detective)

The first season of HBO's hit, anthological mystery drama, True Detective, follows Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) and Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) as they investigate the murders of a killer known only as The Yellow King. Ultimately, the criminal is revealed to be Errol Childress (Glenn Fleshler), who is the nephew of one of the case's prime suspects, Reverend Tuttle.

Opie Sacrifices Himself (Sons Of Anarchy)

One of the most heartbreaking moments from Sons of Anarchy comes when the imprisoned Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam), Chibs Telford (Tommy Flanagan), Tig Trager (Kim Coates), and Opie Winston (Ryan Hurst) are forced to decide which of them will face four other inmates in a brawl to the death so that Jax and Chibs can be released as part of an agreement with Damon Pope (Harold Perrineau). Opie volunteers himself and, after uttering his final words, "I got this," bids his brothers farewell before suffering a brutal end.

Cooper Is Replaced With An Evil Clone (Twin Peaks)

While all David Lynch movies are known for raising many perplexing questions, the original CBS run of the filmmaker's hit TV series, Twin Peaks, especially left audiences with a lot to ponder in the Season 2 finale, which reveals that Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle McLachlan) has not returned from The Black Lodge, but has been replaced with a demented doppelgänger. More than two decades later, fans were finally treated to a continuation of the story with Showtime's 2017 revival.

The Reaper Is George Foyet (Criminal Minds)

One of the most notorious criminals that the Criminal Minds cast ever took on was an elusive killer known as "The Reaper," whose only surviving victim was a man named George Foyet (C. Thomas Howell). However, the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit comes to discover that Foyet is The Reaper after all.

Beaver Assaulted Veronica (Veronica Mars)

The season 2 finale of Veronica Mars solves the long-gestating mystery behind the young, titular amateur investigator's (Kristen Bell) traumatic assault. The perpetrator is revealed to be Cassidy "Beaver" Casablancas (Kyle Gallner), who is himself a victim of assault, which has led him to become a violent person, causing even more destruction than what Veronica had suffered.

Elliott Has Been In Prison The Entire Time (Mr. Robot)

Creator Sam Esmail's USA drama Mr. Robot is the kind of series that always keeps you guessing, thanks to central character Elliott Alderson (Rami Malek) being an unreliable narrator. In fact, the seventh episode of its second season reveals that the hacker's entire life up to that point has been a delusion, and he has really been serving a jail sentence during this time.

President Logan Is Corrupt (24)

Corruption in the White House is a horrifying concept, which Fox's 24 boldly touched on with one of its most shocking twists. At the end of the 16th episode of Season 5, President Charles Logan (Gregory Itzin) is seen having a phone conversation with Christopher Henderson (Peter Weller) that reveals he was behind the deaths of David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) and Michelle Dessler (Reiko Aylesworth).

Helen Is Killed (Ozark)

Few Netflix original TV shows have been as subversive as Ozark, which concluded its third season in an intense way. While it seemed that Marty Byrd (Jason Bateman) was doomed to suffer a grisly fate at the hands of Omar Navarro (Felix Solis), the cartel leader instead orders Nelson (Nelson Bonilla) to take out his lawyer, Helen Pierce (Janet McTeer), who attempted to frame Marty as an FBI informant.

Hank Realizes Heisenberg's True Identity (Breaking Bad)

The first half of Breaking Bad's fifth and final season came to a jaw-dropping end when DEA agent Hank Schrader (Dean Norris) arrived at a startling, long-awaited conclusion. He is sitting on Walt's toilet when he grabs a copy of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, signed to "W.W." by Gale Boetticher (David Costabile). This clues him in to the fact that the drug manufacturer he has been trying to find for more than a year has been his brother-in-law the whole time.

Ryan Killed Erin (Mare Of Easttown)

Near the end of the Emmy-winning HBO miniseries Mare of Easttown, it appears that Erin McMenamin (Cailee Spaeny) was murdered by her older cousin and lover, John Ross (Joe Tippett), but the truth is much darker. John's 13-year-old son, Ryan (Cameron Mann), learned of the affair and set out to intimidate her into backing out of the romance, but it ended up resulting in a fatal end for the young woman.

Cody Hoyt Dies (Big Sky)

It was heavily implied in the marketing for creator David E. Kelley's ABC drama Big Sky that Ryan Phillippe would be the star of the mystery thriller. Thus, seeing his character, a private investigator named Cody Hoyt, fatally shot by crooked Highway Patrol officer Rick Legarski (John Carroll Lynch) at the end of the pilot episode certainly caught viewers off guard.

Amma Killed Ann And Natalie (Sharp Objects)

In HBO's limited series adaptation of Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects, Camille Preaker (Amy Adams) comes to suspect that her abusive mother, Adora (Patricia Clarkson), was responsible for the murders of Ann Nash (Kaegan Baron) and Natalie Keene (Jessica Treksa). However, in the final scene, it is revealed that Camille's younger half-sister, Amma (Eliza Scanlen), killed the young women and even used their teeth as cobblestones for her dollhouse's patio.

Hilde Is Imogene's Mother (Death And Other Details)

For years, the hero of Hulu's clever whodunnit Death and Other Details, Imogene Scott (Violett Beane), has been haunted by the murder of her mother, Kira, which the renowned Rufus Cotesworth (Mandy Patinkin) was never able to solve. However, while investigating a mysterious death on a private cruise, Imogene discovers that Kira actually faked her death all those years ago and has been hiding in plain sight on the ship, disguised as Interpol agent Hilde Eriksen (Linda Emond).

Boyd Crowder Escapes Prison (Justified: City Primeval)

Walton Goggins denied multiple times that he was involved with Justified: City Primeval, the 2023 miniseries revival of the hit FX crime thriller starring Timothy Olyphant as old-school U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. However, he turned out to be full of it, as a post-credit scene shows his character, Boyd Crowder, escaping prison.

Chloe Is A Godly Blessing (Lucifer)

The pairing of the Devil incarnate, Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), with Det. Chloe Decker (Lauren German), as investigative partners, as well as lovers, would prove to be a match made in Heaven... literally. It is revealed in Season 2 of Lucifer that Chloe was created by God with the purpose of being the police consultant's perfect mate.

Sydney Wakes Up Two Years In The Future (Alias)

The second season of ABC's hit espionage drama Alias ends with a real gut-punch of a twist. Sidney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) wakes up in Hong Kong with no memory of how she wound up there and eventually discovers that she has been missing for the past two years. This leads her on a journey to piece together what happened to her during all that time.

Kima Greggs Is Shot (The Wire)

Kima Greggs (Sonja Sohn) was initially conceived as a smaller role on The Wire before creator David Simon was convinced by HBO executive Carolyn Strauss to keep her around longer. In other words, the shocking moment from the end of the first season's 10th episode, in which she is shot during a bust gone wrong, almost sealed the character's fate.

Peter Is From Another Dimension (Fringe)

In the second season of Fringe, Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) survives a deadly shockwave that leads him to realize that he was born in an alternate universe and was forcibly brought into this dimension by his father, Walter (John Noble). The twist completely recontextualizes the character's place in the show and brings to light the impact that his cross-dimensional transfer has on the world.

Paige Stays In America (The Americans)

In the series finale of The Americans, Paige Jennings (Holly Taylor) is seen exiting a train headed for the Soviet Union. This means that she has chosen to stay in the States, her true home, and that her undercover Soviet spy parents, Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell), will never see her again.

Georgia Trotman Is Thrown Out A Five-Story Window (Line Of Duty)

It seemed as if Detective Constable Georgia Trotman (Jessica Raine) was destined to be an important part of the second season (or, series, as they say in the U.K.) of the BBC's Line of Duty. However, the character's first episode also proved to be her last, in which corrupt DC Jeremy Cole (Henry Pettigrew) sends her plummeting to her death outside a hospital window.

Nina Myers Killed Teri Bauer (24)

By the end of the first season of 24, one of Jack Bauer's (Kiefer Sutherland) most trusted allies is not only revealed to be a mole, but the one who murdered his wife, Teri (Leslie Hope).

From Downton Abbey to the Red Keep to 742 Evergreen Terrace, there are so many cool houses I'd love to explore from television shows. Some have even gotten quite famous for their use on these shows. Obviously I understand these are mostly sets on a soundstage with an exterior of a completely different house, but let's take a moment to use our imagination and talk about how fun and cool these houses I've always wanted to explore would be.

The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air

Of course with have to include Uncle Phil and Aunt Bev's house on The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. Most of the show pretty much takes place in two rooms, the kitchen and the living room, with other scenes in various bedrooms and occasionally other spots. There must be so much more to see!

The Addams Family

Who doesn't want to explore a house like that of the Addams family? It's creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky! It's got a dismembered hand running around, a cousin covered in hair, and an uncle who can light up a light bulb in his mouth! This is the kind of house I want to learn a whole lot more about!

Friends

Much has been made about the apartments on Friends and how unrealistic they are. Sure, that may be true, but that doesn't mean they aren't cool, especially where Monica and Rachel live. As someone who lived in a shoebox in the East Village for years, this is the kind of place I'd love to explore and dream about how I could have been living... in a fever dream.

Full House

The Painted Ladies in San Francisco are some of the most iconic houses in the entire United States Of America. For that reason alone it's worth it to explore the Tanner home on Full House. I might not have a chance to explore one otherwise (not that would in this fictional scenario anyway!)

Succession

Let's be honest, I can't stand the Roy family and it makes it hard for me to love the show Succession, because I need someone to root for and there is no one on this show worthy of that. Except maybe the houses and locations, those all look amazing. So that's decides it, I'm rooting for fictional houses.

Game Of Thrones

I've included the Red Keep here from Game of Thrones, but really it's a stand-in for basically every castle, keep, and ancestral home on the show. They all look really cool and I love old European castles, so an architectural tour of Westeros is right in my wheelhouse. Winterfell, Dragonstone, the Eyrie, Sunspear... they are all amazing. Even the ruins of Harrenhal would be awesome to hang out in for a bit.

Gossip Girl

I lived a very different life in my shoebox in the East Village when I lived in New York than the families in Gossip Girl lived. Frankly, every location looks incredible in its own way and I want to see them all and the well-dressed people who live in them.

Frasier

Frasier Crane doesn't live in the most extravagant condo in TV history, but it still seems like a really cool place. Seattle is a beautiful city and the view they had would make a quick tour very worthwhile. Plus, who doesn't want to have a good sit in Martin's chair?

Diff'rent Strokes

The 1980s was filled with over-the-top residences, and the Drummonds apartment in Diff'rent Strokes is close to the top of the list. We really only got to see a little bit of the two-story New York apartment, as almost every scene was in the living room, kitchen, or Willis and Arnold's bedroom. I want to see more! There must be a cozy study in there somewhere with a fireplace filled with many old books and rich mahogany!

Downton Abbey

Downton Abbey is one of the few fictional houses on this list that one can actually spend some time in. The house, which is known as Highclere Castle in real life, is open for tours to the public, and not only can you explore the grounds, but many of the rooms from the show as well. I've not done it yet, but I'd love to do the tour at some point.

Silver Spoons

As a kid of the '80s, the Stratton's mansion on Silver Spoons is close to the top of my list of houses I wished I lived in. There was a train running through the living room, multiple arcade games, and a racing car bed! It's everything I ever wanted and more. Plus, we never got to see much other than a couple of rooms, there has to be so much to explore!

Dynasty

The 1980s were a time when incredibly rich families stirred up melodrama among themselves on shows like Dynasty. Set in Denver, the show's family, the Carringtons, lived in an amazing home. The exteriors of the home were actually a palatial home in Pasadena called Arden Villa.

Modern Family

Jay and Gloria Prichett's house on Modern Family fits the name of the show well. It's...well... modern and it's the kind of house I like to stalk on Zillow. It's not the most over-the-top, or biggest (nor the smallest, for sure), but it seems like a really awesome, realistic house that would be perfect for a week-long AirBnB rental.

Mork & Mindy

This is one of those homes on TV that actually seems like a place I could actually afford and live in. It's a simple house in Boulder, CO, where the show is set and while the prices all over Colorado for real estate are kind of insane, it's still a very cool looking, sensible house. Mork (Robin Williams) is the only thing that isn't sensible about it.

The Munsters

There are few houses in TV history as iconic as the Munster's mansion from The Munsters. Though I'm not a big fan of horror movies, even I can appreciate all the Easter eggs and tributes to old monster movies that must be hidden all over the house. It's the kind of place that is a museum of the weird as much as it is a home.

The Brady Bunch

I love Mid-Century Modern architecture, especially houses. There is no better example of a cool Mid-Century Modern house in TV history than the house designed by Mike Brady on The Brady Bunch. It's also one of the rare shows where we basically see every room in the house in almost every episode. The one part we never see is where Alice lives, so that's something new to explore.

The Golden Girls

I'm a total sucker for those weird Florida gated communities like the one in The Golden Girls and for that reason, I'd love to check the house shared by the four retired roommates in the classic NBC sitcom. It's not the most extravagant, nor the most interesting, but it's still the kind of realistic house I love.

The Sopranos

This is a little bit of an outlier because really, the house in The Sopranos is everything I kinda hate in a house. It's pretty much a standard suburban McMansion, so that means my exploration would really be to make fun of it. I get that it's not a great idea to criticize Carmela's decorating or Tony's house in general, but it's a risk I'd be willing to take.

Mad Men

Don Draper's apartment in Mad Men looks amazing. It's not the biggest home on this list, but it's so perfectly set in its time, it would be amazing to spend a few hours in listening to some jazz and smoking cigarettes.

Dallas

Southfork Ranch is a real place. It's a popular spot in Dallas to hold weddings and other events. That means that exploring the house, which is home to the Ewing clan in Dallas is possible, but I'd want to go back in time and see it as it was when the Ewings lived there (on the show anyway). There would be so much to see across all of the property.

The Simpsons

There are few addresses as famous as 742 Evergreen Terrace. It's not the grandest house on this list, obviously, but still, it's just so iconic. I can just see myself having a Duff on the back patio while Homer relaxes in his hammock, or lying on the floor with Lisa and Bart watching the latest episode of Itchy & Scratchy. Maybe even helping Marge in the kitchen cooking pork chops for dinner.

Dexter

Okay, I'll admit, this one is the most depraved choice on this list. Checking out Dexter's apartment from Dexter is sure to be disturbing and morbid, so it's the kind of place where it's good to keep in mind this is all fictional! Demented and sad, but fictional!

Seinfeld

Jerry's apartment on Seinfeld is probably the smallest home on this list. It's really just the kitchen and living room open-plan space (that doesn't actually make sense) and Jerry's bedroom, but there is always some cool stuff in the background, like Superman memorabilia and cereal boxes. Those are worth exploring, right? Maybe not, but Kramer may have the hot tub open in his apartment.

Charmed

Like a few others on this lit, visiting nd exploring the house on Charmed is less about the house - though it does look stunning - and more about learning about what is really going with these three witches. It has to be fascinating to see how they live when they aren't fighting demons and the like.

The Nanny

I'll admit I'm pretty fascinated by huge New York City apartments. It's just so different from how most people live in the city. The opulence and ease of living in multi-story dwellings in the city must be amazing, and the home on The Nanny certainly fits the bill like others on this list.

Desperate Housewives

This entry isn't about one house, it's about all the house and the neighborhood that makes up Wisteria Lane on Desperate Housewives. There isn't anything particularly special about any one house, but wow what a subdivision to live in! My suburban street was nothing like this... or maybe it was and I was just ignorant of it. Probably not.

The Crown

There are a lot of palaces and castles in Netflix's The Crown and all of them are real places, though none of the show was actually filmed in them, of course. Of all the castles and palaces that Queen Elizabeth is seen in on the show, the coolest and most interesting has to be Balmoral, her castle in Scotland where she ultimately died in real life. That's the castle and grounds I want to explore.

Billions

Even by TV show standards, Bobby Axelrod (Damien Lewis) on Showtime's Billions has a ridiculous beach house in the Hamptons. I mean, it looks like a country club clubhouse or a hotel, it's insane. It feels like you could spend a month there and never hang out in the same room twice.

Ozark

I've been to the Lake of the Ozarks a bunch of times in my life and while it's a super fun place, you don't really think of it as having interesting houses. On the show Ozark, the Byrdes definitely live in one that you wouldn't ever expect to see there, and it's based on a real place there. It's exactly the kind of house I love. It's also one of the few places that is actually based on a real thing at Lake of the Ozarks, as the show was primarily shot in Georgia.

Beverly Hills, 90210

As someone who grew up watching Beverly Hills, 90210 every week, this is definitely a very personal choice. I just always thought the house was really nice looking and I'd love to spend some time hanging out with the Walshes.

Arrested Development

Yes, it's only a model house, and yes, it's basically cheap construction of plywood and chewing gum, but still, the house in Arrested Development would be a wild place to hang out for a while. You could look for George in the attic, or count the number of blue handprints on the wall... there's just so much. I wouldn't mess around with the cornballer though.

Falcon Crest

One of the wildest wealthy fictional families on TV in the '80s was the Channing/Gioberti clan on Falcon Crest. It's a show that no one talks about anymore, but the house, set in a fictionalized version of Napa Valley is amazing and really, we should be talking about it as the star of the show, though Jane Wyman is pretty fantastic on the show too.

Sometimes, you get to a point where you need a new show to binge – and thankfully, there are plenty of great dramas out there that are readily available. Whether it’s some of the best shows to binge on Netflix or some of the best HBO shows out there, there are so many dramas that you can dive right into. Here are some of the best that I would recommend.

Yellowstone (2018 – 2024)

Running for five seasons, Yellowstone is one of those neo-Western dramas that just exploded when it first came out. The series follows the lives of those who live on a large cattle ranch – the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch – as well as the Broken Rock Indian reservation and the land developers who want to take it all away. I can literally think of no other drama to dive headfirst into other than this one.

Narcos (2015 – 2017)

Narcos, a Netflix series with three seasons, follows the story of Pablo Escobar, a real-life drug lord, and how he became the legend we all know him as. Season 3 follows the aftermath of his defeat. As someone who loves a good crime drama, I think this show is one of the best to sink your teeth into.

Game Of Thrones (2011 – 2019)

There is no better cast out there than the Game of Thrones cast, and you will think the same thing once you watch this series. The legendary HBO show is based on the A Song of Ice and Fire novels by George R.R. Martin. It follows the story of several influential individuals who all look for one thing – to rule Westeros and the Seven Kingdoms, as well as the lives that are taken in the process. With eight seasons, it’s an easy binge.

Outlander (2014 – Present)

Based on the novels of the same name, Outlander takes romance and history and makes it into the steamiest drama that you’re going to love. The series follows the story of a World War II military nurse who is sent back in time to the 1700s and falls in love with a Highland warrior. Yes, this is a legit series, and it takes so many twists and turns that you’ll love every second of it.

The Wire (2002 – 2008)

The Wire is considered one of the best HBO shows of all time, and for good reason. The crime drama is set in Baltimore, Maryland, and each season discusses a new part of the city and how it’s related to the legal system there, from education to drugs. While it’s shocking that the series never won Best Drama at the Emmys, it’s still an incredible show, one that deserves so much praise.

Stranger Things (2016 – Present)

While plenty see Stranger Things as sci-fi (for good reasons), it is, at its core, a fun drama that features some really cool mysteries. The series begins in the 1980s with Will Byers going missing and his mother and friends trying to find him in a town full of secrets. The series itself is one of Netflix’s biggest hits, so it’s certainly worth the time to watch.

The Bear (2022 – Present)

I legitimately don’t care what people say. This show is way more drama than comedy, and I stand by that. The Bear follows the story of a young chef who travels back to Chicago in order to save his brother’s restaurant after he passes and tries to turn it into a fine-dining restaurant. The series has an incredible The Bear cast and is constantly nominated for so many awards. It’s so good.

Ozark (2017 – 2022)

Over four seasons, Ozark follows a married couple as they move to the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri to launder money for the Mexican drug cartel. However, as they arrive, they run into trouble that turns their lives upside down. The series was a huge hit on Netflix and earned plenty of praise during its run.

Silo (2023 – Present)

One of the best Apple TV+ shows will have you on the edge of your seat. Silo, which is based on the trilogy of novels Wool, Shift, and Dust, follows the story of a community that somehow lives in a vast underground silo that has 144 levels and the conflicts that arrive in this dystopian world.

Lost (2004 – 2010)

When we think of dramas, Lost certainly tops the list. The series, which aired for six seasons, follows the lives of plane passengers who survive a crash on a distant island. However, they start to realize that this place is not a typical island and that there are deadly forces at work. While the Lost finale is highly discussed as one of the worst out there, the rest of the series is great to watch.

House Of The Dragon (2022 – Present)

If you love Game of Thrones, chances are you’ll enjoy House of the Dragon as well. The series, based on the novel Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin, focuses on the story of Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen and how she fights for the throne in the legendary Dance of Dragons when her half-brother takes it. It’s undoubtedly one of the best fantasy shows right now.

Peaky Blinders (2013 – 2022)

Starring Cillian Murphy as the iconic Tommy Shelby, Peaky Blinders is a period crime drama that follows the lives of the Peaky Blinders crime gang and their rise to power in Birmingham after World War I.

Bridgerton (2020 – Present)

If you’re looking for a romantic drama to dive into, then Bridgerton is the one for you. With three seasons (so far), the series follows the lives of the Bridgerton children back in the 1800s in England, with each season focusing on a new romance filled with scandalous drama and steamy moments.

Squid Game (2021 – Present)

Squid Game is hands down the biggest Netflix show of all time, and for good reason. This drama, hailing from South Korea, tells the story of a group of competitors who all play children’s games in order to win a large amount of money – but the competition takes a deadly twist when people are literally eliminated from life when they lose the games.

The Walking Dead (2011 – 2022)

The Walking Dead was, at one point, one of the biggest shows on television, and as someone who has watched all eleven seasons of The Walking Dead, I still think it’s a great series to dive into. Based on the comics of the same name, the show mainly follows Rick Grimes, a former cop, who leads his group of survivors as zombies – known as “walkers” – take over the world.

Yellowjackets (2021 – Present)

Yellowjackets is hands down one of the best Showtime shows, and I will always recommend it to anyone who wants to dive right into it. The series follows two timelines—one in which a high school soccer team must survive in the Canadian wilderness when their plane crashes over the mountains and do whatever it takes to make it out alive, and the other decades later, where the survivors are still dealing with the consequences of their actions.

The Last Of Us (2023 – Present)

If you want to talk about the best video game adaptations out there, I can think of nothing better than The Last of Us. Based on the video game franchise of the same name, The Last of Us follows Joel Miller, a survivor of a zombie outbreak, who is tasked with getting a teenager across the United States because she might be the cure for the rest of the world.

The Queen’s Gambit (2020)

I only put one miniseries on this list, but trust me when I say The Queen’s Gambit is the best miniseries to dive into. The series, based on the novel of the same name, follows the story of a young woman named Beth Harmon in the 1950s and 60s as she rises to fame as a chess player but also deals with substance abuse. The series was a huge hit and was a career-changing role for star Anya Taylor-Joy.

Barry (2018 – 2023)

I could go on about Barry for years. The series follows the life of a former U.S. Marine who takes on a new job as a hitman, but when he goes to California for a job, he finds himself drawn to the life of an actor and questioning his role in his life. The Barry cast is so talented, and all four seasons are so intense you’ll want to binge it for hours.

Alice In Borderland (2020 – Present)

Japan has always had some amazing dramas to dive into, and one that I love is Alice in Borderland. The series, based on the manga of the same name, follows the lives of two young people who work together to survive dangerous games in Tokyo. If they don’t succeed, they are killed by lasers shot from the sky. Yes, this is an intense drama, but it’s worth every second watching.

Breaking Bad (2008 – 2013)

I have to put Breaking Bad on this list. The famous AMC series follows the life of a high school science teacher who turns to a life of crime in order to provide for his family after his sudden cancer diagnosis. Considered one of the best dramas of all time, Breaking Bad is worth every second watching – and of course, the Breaking Bad cast is incredible as well.

Better Call Saul (2015 – 2022)

If you’ve seen Breaking Bad, then Better Call Saul is the subsequent drama that you should dive into. The series, which is a spinoff of Breaking Bad, follows the beginning years of the iconic lawyer, Saul Goodman, who originally began as Jimmy McGill. But throughout six seasons, we see him fall into a life of crime.

This Is Us (2016 – 2022)

This Is Us is one of those dramas that only comes once in a lifetime because, I swear, there is something that we can all connect to with this show. The series mainly revolves around the lives of three siblings and their connections to each other from across the United States, as well as seeing flashbacks of their past to growing up with their parents. It doesn’t sound like it would be dramatic, but trust me when I say you’ll find something to cry about with this show in the first episode.

The Sopranos (1999 – 2007)

The Sopranos is another great drama that I think everyone thinks of when they hear the word “crime.” The series, which comes from HBO, tells the story of Tony Soprano, a mobster from New Jersey, and how he deals with his personal and professional life with the mob and the problems he runs into.

Black Mirror (2011 – Present)

There are some excellent anthology shows out there, but Black Mirror is the type of drama that will have you on the edge of your seat. The series has different episodes each season, and all of them display some strange dystopian concepts in a not-so-far future that will truly shock and entertain you, from strange afterlives to how we view social media.

All Of Us Are Dead (2022 – Present)

South Korea has some of the best horror shows out there, and one that I will always recommend is All Of Us Are Dead. The series follows a group of high school students who must survive when a zombie outbreak begins within their walls and how they try to communicate to the outside world that they need help.

You (2018 – Present)

Oh, hello there, you. Yes, you, reading this, because surely, you’ll end up being the next thing Joe Goldberg is obsessed with. You is a drama that follows Joe, a seemingly normal man who falls in love way too quickly – and when he loves, he loves hard and will take out whoever threatens that relationship or your life.

Black Doves (2024 – Present)

Starring Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw, Black Doves is the latest spy thriller that will have you on the edge of your seats. The series follows a young woman whose identity is revealed, putting her life in danger. Her employers send an old friend to keep her safe, sending them on a whirlwind espionage adventure.

The Haunting Of Hill House (2018)

There are plenty of Mike Flanagan TV shows to check out on Netflix, but I always recommend The Haunting of Hill House before any of the others. The series alternates between two timelines: one of a family moving into a seemingly normal house with a dark past, and the next day, the family comes back together to face the darkness they had once encountered in their new home.

The Crown (2016 – 2023)

The Crown, which detailed the life of Queen Elizabeth II, had six seasons that followed her rise to become the monarch we all knew her as and how her reign changed as the decades progressed. The series earned several awards and nominations over its six-season run.

Dexter (2006 – 2013)

While plenty of people talk about the Dexter finale, the series itself is still a great drama to drive into. Following the titular character, Dexter is a blood splatter analyst by day and a serial killer by night, who uses his job to find horrible people and take them out as a way to suit his dark urges. But when one other killer starts to challenge him, he decides to take matters into his own hands and end them.

Succession (2018 – 2023)

HBO has been a huge producer of dramas for years, and Succession is hands down one of the best in the last decade. The series follows the Roy family, a hugely successful family that owns an entertainment conglomerate. Their lives are thrown upside down thanks to a health scare from their patriarch. Now, the question of who will own the company after he passes causes drama.

These are just some of the best dramas out there to check out – all of which are great ways to spend a weekend. I think it’s time for another binge. Who’s up for a marathon?

They say mama knows best, but television has shown us time and time again that isn't always the case. Whether it's a show as sinister as Sons of Anarchy or one as innocent as Modern Family, there's no shortage of moms who don't give the best advice. I'm sure there are plenty of dads as well, to be sure, but that's not what we're here to talk about today. 

Moms make the world go round, but they're not infallible. The following are some shining examples of mothers who aren't always giving the best advice, though I'll concede that some give worse advice far more often than others. Let's dive in!

Roseanne

The point of Roseanne was that the Conners weren't picturesque parents, but they somehow made it work anyway. Pull up any old episode with a Peacock subscription, and you'll hear Roseanne giving some ill-informed advice. Her heart is always in the right place, though, and that's what matters. 

Cersei Lannister

If Cersei Lannister hadn't told her son Joffrey that anyone outside their family was an enemy, he wouldn't have turned into the despicable monster we witnessed on Game of Thrones. Cersei's twisted mindset ultimately led to Joffrey's death, and I don't think I need to bring up her other two children that didn't survive the series, either. 

Connie Tucker

Better known as Meemaw on Young Sheldon, some might not know that Connie Tucker's daughter is Mary Cooper even if they saw them side by side. Between her underground gambling operation in the backroom of the laundromat, and the time she got her grandson Georgie arrested while bootlegging cigarettes across the border, she's not the best role model. 

Linda Belcher

Linda Belcher has her own issues she picked up during her upbringing, and she's instilled some of those values in her children. Encouraging Tina and Louise to cheat in school rather than do the work is a great example, and a hilarious lesson that makes this one of the best animated shows of all time. 

Norma Bates

I think it's possible that if your son turns out to be a mass murderer, you might've had a couple of missteps in instilling some advice. Norma Bates certainly had an unhealthy relationship with her son, and her general advice not to trust other women not only led to their deaths, it eventually led to her own. 

Lucy Ricardo

I can't even imagine the shenanigans Little Ricky got up to having Lucy Ricardo as his mother. The I Love Lucy character was always getting into hijinks, and landed herself in quite a bit of trouble with her various schemes from time to time. It's hard to imagine she didn't cook up some shenanigans with her son, and landed him in some trouble as well. 

Bonnie Plunkett

Bonnie Plunkett being an imperfect mother was more or less the point of Mom, as the recovering addict helped her daughter, Christy, work through her own recovery. She wasn't the best mother during Christy's upbringing, and she made her mistakes during the series, too. That said, she does love her daughter, and the family she helped raise. 

Lois Griffin

You don't need to see more than ten minutes of a Family Guy episode to see that Lois Griffin isn't the best parent. That said, she's definitely changed throughout the series, and become almost as unhinged as Peter in recent episodes. 

Skyler White

Skyler White gets a lot of flak, considering Walter White was the true villain of Breaking Bad, but it's hard to not fault her from taking Walt Jr. and getting out of the drug ring operation the moment she became aware of it. Other than that she was a good mother, but that one mistake is pretty hard to overlook. 

Kitty Forman

Whether it was That '70s Show or That '90s Show, Kitty Forman had a knack for instilling some bad to occasionally twisted advice to teenagers with a heavy dose of sugar. It's hard not to love her anyway, despite that, and the characters were so iconic that it's always worth keeping tabs on what Debra Jo Rupp and the rest of the That '70s Show cast is up to now. 

Cookie Lyon

I can honestly say that Cookie's decision-making and advice is no worse than any other member of the Lyon family in Empire, but they all make some terrible decisions. Between her spitefulness and scheming, she landed her sons in some sticky situations, some of which were more than a little dangerous. 

Betty Draper

Mad Men's Betty Draper might have the worst maternal instincts of any other TV mom on this list. Unfortunately, a lot of the ways she brought up their children was likely inspired by her own childhood, and gave many viewers the impression she disliked them or didn't care about them. 

Marge Simpson

I would say that, for the most part, Marge Simpson is a great mom. The Simpsons' matriarch does have her moments, however, and in those chaotic times can impart some bad advice. Perhaps the worst was telling her children to aim low in life as to not disappoint others, which seems like terrible advice for Bart, in particular. 

Joyce Byers

Joyce Byers has had a rough number of years, so it feels unfair to judge her based on the last time we saw her in Stranger Things. With that said, she was barely holding the homefront down and seemingly only had bad haircuts to hand out to the teens as they all dealt with life. 

Catelyn Stark

The Seven Kingdoms takedown of the Stark family was pretty wild, but Catelyn's campaign to avenge her husband might've led to some tactical missteps on her own end. Let's not forget the trauma we all endured watching the Red Wedding, which she had a part in.

Jessica Huang

Jessica Huang is a fantastic tv mom, but she also has a way of getting things done that may not always be the best way of doing things. She can be crafty and devious, but almost everything she ever does is out of love for her sons and family. 

Selina Meyer

Veep's Selina Meyer progressively gets more unsympathetic throughout the series, but her parenting skills may make some people dislike her from the start. Pushing her daughter into ending relationships due to political optics for her own career is just one of many ways she was a bad parent to come to with a problem. 

Wendy Byrde

When you loop your children into your operation of laundering drug money for the cartel, you're bound to give a lot of bad parenting advice along the way. Wendy doles out plenty of bad advice throughout the course of Ozark, making her one of the worst offenders on the list. 

Malory Archer

Malory Archer wasn't the best mother to her child, Sterling, and her self-centered nature and skewed view of the world due to her extreme wealth made her even worse to come to for advice. With that said, it's a bit ironic that her line "Do you want ants? That's how you get ants," is some great advice fans frequently reference. 

Claire Dunphy 

Claire Dunphy's advice to her children, at times, could come off as controlling. There are definitely points in Modern Family where her advice is molded by what she would like her children to do, rather than what is best for them. Her advice to Haley about not living in the past when Dylan came back into her life feels like a great example.  

Benny Lopez

George Lopez's mother, Benny, often created more problems for him than not on The George Lopez Show, and from what we know about his upbringing, she wasn't a great mother. Part of this was due to the fact Benny was also raised by bad parents, but fortunately, George was able to break the cycle and be able to overcome the mistakes of his upbringing despite his mother's poor advice. 

Sophia Petrillo

Sophia Petrillo doled out countless pieces of advice to her daughter and roommates on The Golden Girls, and I would say a good chunk of it was solid. Sophia is a wildcard, however, and occasionally, some of her advice was informed by her occasionally reckless lifestyle, which made it less useful to the women, but hilarious for viewers. 

Francine Smith

Francine Smith gives out tons of bad advice, but given the kookiness that can go down on American Dad, it's hard to fault her for it. Sometimes, you just gotta train your son to fight a school bully when you've had about two-hundred, or "two-fiddy," battles of your own back in the day. 

Dr. Beverly Hofstadter

The Big Bang Theory plays Leonard's relationship with his mother for laughs a lot, but the fact that she treated her child more as a test subject and imparted advice that crushed his self-confidence and shaped his anxiety definitely makes her one of the worst mothers on the list. Despite that, they do reconcile, if only because she felt like him marrying Penny was something he did right for once. 

Gemma Teller-Morrow

Gemma Teller-Morrow never had to drag her son into the life of motorcycles, guns, and crime, but every time Jax tried to leave she pulled him back. I think it's more than fair to say Gemma was driven by her own interests and would actively work against any others, which led to quite a few times where she offered bad advice. 

Evelyn Harper

Two And A Half Men's Evelyn Harper was a terrible mother, and in the small number of times she'd actually parent her sons, she had a litany of bad advice. Some would argue her upbringing is what led both Alan and Charlie to have such dysfunctional relationships with women, which I totally get. 

Livia Soprano

Livia Soprano gave out her fair share of bad advice, and even worse, tried to push it off like she was innocent in it all. Her subtly pushing Uncle Junior to put out a hit on Tony is just one of the moments that makes The Sopranos one of the best shows streaming on Max. 

Lucille Bluth

Neither Lucille or George Bluth were great parents when their kids were growing up, and that continued when they turned into adults. Whether it's her business advice to her children or the coddling of Buster, it's surprising the Arrested Development matriarch wasn't treated like a child more than the actual teens.  

Peg Bundy

Peg Bundy's parenting style was just about as outrageous as her clothing choices, but there's no denying she loved her kids. The mom from Married...with Children bucked just about every cultural norm of the traditional housewife, and wasn't the best at giving out advice. In her defense, she owned it, and never claimed to be someone she was not. 

Briana Barksdale

Not many mothers would convince their sons to not tell on drug dealers if it meant they'd spend a considerable time behind bars. Brianna Barksdale from The Wire isn't most people, however, and was able to convince her son, D'Angelo, to do just that rather than to sell the operation out to the authorities. She also managed to pull him back into the business when he'd try to pull away, so she's not winning mother of the year awards any time soon. 

Marie Barone

Raymond's mother, Marie, was number one at meddling, and would even use her advice as opportunities to conspire against her daughter-in-law, Debra. It seemed like Marie was always working an angle to get what she wanted, and she was not above doling out bad advice if it got her that much closer to the goal she ultimately had. 

Monica Gallagher

Monica Gallagher wasn't around her children often in Shameless, but did try to give advice with the best intentions. Unfortunately, someone in her position wasn't really able to always give the best advice even if she meant well, and the children often ended up trusting themselves more than their mother.  

As I mentioned before, some moms are better than others, and no mom is perfect. I'd reckon that, provided someone is at least making sure they aren't in line with the worst offenders on this list, they're doing a solid job. 

Over the last several decades, the critical view of television has changed from being a lesser, more mass produced art form, not on the level of movies, to being the place for some of the most creative and progressive content being produced. Much of that collective reappraisal is due to HBO. In the late '90s and early 2000s, the premium cable company poured money into original productions like The Sopranos, Sex And The City, The Wire, Six Feet Under and more. 

As the awards, critical praise, positive fan feedback and subscriptions poured in, more TV networks started taking chances on difficult and complicated subject matter and shelling out to attract major stars. HBO still remains arguably the most famous and successful prestige TV network, but over the last few decades, tons of other networks have taken their chances with riskier and complicated shows. Many of those chances have paid off too.

Here’s a look at some really famous and really successful prestige TV shows that didn’t air on HBO but likely took some level of inspiration from the path the network blazed.

House Of Cards (Netflix)

Few shows in the history of television have upended the entire industry more than House Of Cards. The political drama was the first major original production from Netflix, and the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. Emmy nominations in all the major categories helped create a ton of word of mouth, and within a few years, Netflix’s long-term strategy shifted from a focus on acquiring content to a focus on producing content. 

Downton Abbey (ITV/ PBS)

Every awards voter knows period piece family dramas set among the aristocracy can be major contenders for awards, but Downton Abbey proved just how popular they can be with a broad audience too. The sprawling historical drama found huge popularity in both Britain and The United States, ultimately producing six seasons and multiple movies, and yes, of course, it won plenty of awards too.

The Americans (FX)

One of my personal favorite shows on this entire list, The Americans was a bit of a slow build. Its first season got very solid ratings and a few nominations, but within a few seasons, the spy drama about a Russian family pretending to be Americans was attracting huge Metacritic scores and picking up Emmy nominations in all the major categories for both the show itself and its brilliant lead actors Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys. 

Breaking Bad (AMC)

Widely considered to be one of the greatest shows of all-time, Breaking Bad may not have been on premium cable, but its subject matter was every bit as uncomfortable and morally complicated as anything found elsewhere. By the end of its incredible five-season run, the show had won two Emmys for Outstanding Drama, as well as acting Emmys for three of its primary actors and nominations for two more. 

The Good Wife (CBS)

Prestige TV shows typically have shorter seasons. Maintaining the highest quality over ten episodes is a lot easier than doing it over the twenty-plus network TV typically requires, but The Good Wife was able to maintain high quality thanks to really tight scripts that perfectly blended courtroom case-of-the-week style procedural elements with real character development. Great acting performances also helped, as its actors were collectively nominated an astounding thirty times at The Emmys over just six seasons.

Justified (FX)

Prestige TV shows are most often classified by the number of awards they won, but sometimes it’s about elevating a genre and having an original vision. That’s the case with Justified. It had eight Emmy nominations (and two wins for Margo Martindale and Jeremy Davies), but it’s here mostly because of how much life and originality it brought to the crime genre. It slowly evolved past being a procedural and into a carefully plotted linear story featuring a holler of fascinating backwoods personalities.

Orange Is The New Black (Netflix)

Whether awards voters were asked to call it a comedy or a drama, Orange Is The New Black found a very large and very passionate fanbase with its unique blend of prison shenanigans and societal commentary. It also helped prove Netflix was going to be a long-term threat for prestige television awards long after House Of Cards was gone.

The Great (Hulu)

The Great is maybe the most outlandish show I have ever watched and this comes from someone that’s watched Twin Peaks multiple times. There was no line this show wouldn’t cross, but with a filthy wit, it was able to ride the line between stupid and clever and rewrite the history of Catherine The Great And Peter III’s relationship in a really fascinating way. Reviews were great, and by the end, the lead actors were getting recognized for huge awards.

Lost (ABC)

I’m not sure there will be a single entry on this list that’s more divisive than Lost. The show, which Wikipedia calls a science fiction adventure drama, lost the patience of a percentage of its audience by the end, but it’s impossible to deny just how hooked millions were there for awhile. And with good reason. It got fifty-four Emmy nominations during its run and many are still discovering its joys on streaming.

30 Rock (NBC)

The bar is a lot higher for a comedy to be considered Prestige television, but there are few comedies in the history of television more praised and widely respected than 30 Rock. The hysterical take on the backstage politics behind making a TV show won Outstanding Comedy at the Emmys three times and in later seasons, attracted some of the biggest stars in the world for multi-episode guest spots.

Mad Men (AMC)

Apart from the fact that it’s utterly fantastic, Mad Men is one of the most important TV shows of the last few decades because it conclusively proved literally any network had the ability to create one of the buzziest, most acclaimed series on television, including AMC which launched Mad Men as its first original program. It also turned Jon Hamm into a huge star, and shined a light on many members of its talented supporting cast.

Dexter (Showtime)

Yeah, I know Dexter was inconsistent during its run, but man, was that Dark Passenger fun to ride around with when it was good. Showtime’s drama about a serial killer who tried to live by a moral code netted its primary actor, Michael C Hall, five well-earned Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead and netted terrific vet John Lithgow a guest star Emmy win for his terrifying work in Season 4. 

Homeland (Showtime)

Homeland didn’t have quite the universal acclaim in its later seasons, but there aren’t many shows in TV history that could match the universal acclaim of its early seasons. Its terrific first season won Outstanding Drama at The Emmys, as well as statues for its two lead actors Claire Danes and Damian Lewis. Altogether, it’s probably the most talked about and acclaimed series in Showtime history, and that’s huge praise given what else has been on that network.

The West Wing (NBC)

The West Wing is perhaps a little more inside the box and network TV-ish than a lot of other entries on this list, but to me, that’s part of its appeal. It’s well put together enough to consistently provide payoff moments, but it’s good enough at what it’s doing that the formula rarely gets in the way. Voters agreed, as it nominated the show for an astounding ninety-eight Emmys.

Ted Lasso (Apple+)

At its absolute best, Ted Lasso, the show but also, the person, has a way of making you feel so unreservedly happy. Before you realize it, you’re rooting for these characters more passionately and with more love in your heart than you ever knew was possible for a TV show. Critics, fans and awards voters all agreed too, as for awhile there, Ted Lasso became the most talked about thing on streaming.

Weeds (Showtime)

Given it ran for eight seasons, Weeds is far from the most nominated show on this list. Some of its actors did well at The Emmys, but what’s really important long-term about the drug dealing dramedy is how it turned what could have been a goofy, throwaway premise of suburban mom turned drug dealer into sharply written material that explored many different emotions and tones. It was never content to remain the same, which is the opposite of what many comedies want.

Grey's Anatomy (ABC)

This choice for sure is picking up some eyerolls, but people forget how freakin’ good Grey’s Anatomy was during its first handful of seasons. It earned multiple Outstanding Drama nominations, and many of its actors, most prominently Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson, were nominated for their performances. Its third season premiere was also watched live by more than twenty-five million people, which was a huge number at the time, especially for a critical darling.

24 (FOX)

24’s unconventional format of having episodes correspond to specific hours was a masterstroke, given the high pressure intensity of its subject matter. It was also able to really push the line with network television but more in the way of aggression and physical violence. It felt dangerous at the time, and decades later, that ever-present ferocity still comes through. It was consistently rewarded by critics and awards voters too in a way you almost never see for something this action-packed.

Modern Family (ABC)

Modern Family works so well because it’s really good at many different types of comedy. It has an overarching tone, sure, but because it brings together multiple generations, as well as many varied characters, it mines a lot of different subject matter for humor. That allows the show to feel fresh and keep from getting repetitive for longer than most comedies. Its wild range is probably best exemplified by the show somehow getting a combined six nominations in the Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress Emmy categories in the same year.

Better Call Saul (AMC)

There aren’t many spinoff shows in the history of television that pick right up where the original left off in terms of quality. Better Call Saul is a rare exception, which is positively insane given the original quality it needed to aspire to was maybe the greatest show ever in Breaking Bad. Fortunately, Bob Odenkirk is an absolute delight to watch, and Better Call Saul was able to give many of Breaking Bad’s greatest side characters more chances to shine.

Schitt's Creek (CBC)

If you want to know how beloved Schitt’s Creek was when it went off the air, especially among awards voters, look no further than the acting nominations it got during its last run at The Emmys. It somehow netted nine nominations just in the on-screen performance categories. It was a great final moment for a show that was often able to feel like both the best parts of a sitcom and the best parts of a linear dramedy at the same time.

Mr. Robot (USA)

Over the course of four critically acclaimed seasons, Mr. Robot built up a passionate fanbase who loved the dynamic between Rami Malek and Christian Slater, as well as the score and pace of the series. Starting mostly with its second season, it was also honored quite a bit by various award shows, including The Emmys, which gave Malek the Best Lead Actor award, along with nominating the show itself, guest actor BD Wong and more. 

Rescue Me (FX)

A show on FX about firefighters starring stand-up comedian Dennis Leary probably wouldn’t strike most people as a future Emmy winner and critical darling, but Rescue Me was never afraid of tackling more complicated material. That willingness to explore tougher subject matter attracted audiences, as well as high profile guest stars including Michael J Fox who picked up an Emmy for his contributions. 

This Is Us (NBC)

This is Us was so popular during its first few seasons that NBC gave it the post Super Bowl slot. The show took full advantage and aired a Super Bowl-themed episode that many consider to be one of the best of This Is Us’ entire run. It’s a perfect example of how the show, at its best, weaves together the type of complicated subject matter Emmy voters go for, while remaining broad enough to satisfy a massive audience. The actors in particularly were consistently hit with nominations, especially Sterling K Brown who was recognized by The Emmys five times.

The Crown (Netflix)

Typically when a show connects with a large audience, critics and awards voters, those behind the scenes do everything they can to keep the magic going with the original cast. Not The Crown. Rather than focus on a narrow window, the show hurtled forward, picking up new leads and new characters every few seasons, while somehow still maintaining enough quality to connect with Emmy voters and please its legion of fans.

The L Word (Showtime)

The L Word was never as enticing to awards voters as it should have been, though Ossie Davis did notably win an Emmy for Guest Actor, but its popularity and effect on prestige TV’s willingness to tackle LGBT+ subject matter cannot be overstated. Over the course of six seasons, the show tackled a wide variety of subjects and built a rich, complicated world of interconnected characters for its fanbase to root for and sometimes get mad at. 

Fargo (FX)

Taking spiritual inspiration from The Coen Brothers’ movie of the same name, no one was quite sure what to expect when Fargo premiered back in 2014, but the result was a fantastic crime narrative that was entirely different, yet oddly similar to the pace of the original film. Critics were overwhelmingly hot and loads of major nominations followed, especially for the actors. Subsequent seasons went in very different directions, but the basic spirit and popularity with awards voters remained. 

The Handmaid's Tale (Hulu)

House Of Cards may have been the first streaming show to get significant critical acclaim and awards nominations, but The Handmaid’s Tale is actually the first one to win Best Drama at The Emmys. The unnerving and often disturbing adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s novel is a tough watch but can be so rewarding, as millions of viewers found out. Its first few seasons in particular were showered with praise and numerous nominations for both the show itself and its brilliant cast.

Arrested Development (FOX/ Netflix)

Has a comedy ever used a narrator better than Arrested Development? The well-written and often deeply weird comedy never attracted the biggest audience, but it was a huge hit with its fanbase and critics, who adored the complicated relationships between its characters and their ridiculous recurring jokes and plots. By the end of its short run, it won Best Comedy and Best Writing at The Emmys and saw four of its cast members nominated in acting categories.

Ozark (Netflix)

It took a little time for enough awards voters to give Ozark a chance, as the first season mainly only saw wide praise for Jason Bateman’s work, but once voters gave it a chance, the nominations started flying in. The show’s last three seasons were all nominated for Best Drama at The Emmys and Julia Garner won multiple times in the supporting category for her incredible work. New fans also keep discovering the show and taking to social media, where the hype train continues, despite not being on the air anymore.

Killing Eve (BBC Three/ BBC America)

There’s no shortage of fans and critics with opinions about Killing Eve's divisive final season, but the first two, in particular, remain beloved by pretty much everyone. Not surprisingly, perennial awards contender Sandra Oh got four Emmy noms for her work on the show, but voters also flipped for Jodie Comer, who got nominated three times and took home a win. Not bad for a spy thriller that wasn’t initially seen by some as a prestige project.

Pose (FX)

The loudest support for Pose came from those who couldn’t get enough of Billy Porter’s fantastic lead performance. He was repeatedly nominated and picked up an Emmy win during the show’s run, but there was also a lot of acclaim for individual seasons themselves too, as Ryan Murphy’s exploration of New York City’s LGBT+ subculture gave an opportunity for so many talented supporting actors to have their moment. 

My favorite TV show of all time is Breaking Bad, which stars Bryan Cranston as a terminally ill high school chemistry teacher who turns to manufacturing crystal methamphetamine to support his family. Since creator Vince Gilligan’s Emmy-winning drama ended after five seasons in 2013, I have been on the lookout for more titles that remind me of the best episodes of Breaking Bad in terms of content and tone. As far as I am concerned, the following TV series are just about “Heisenberg-level.”

Better Call Saul (2015-2022)

Starring: Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn

What it's about: An Albuquerque attorney rises up in the world of practicing law by scheming his way toward wins and taking on shady clients.

Why it is worth watching if you like Breaking Bad: Of course, no list of TV shows like Breaking Bad would be complete without the series’ acclaimed spinoff show, Better Call Saul, in which Breaking Bad cast member Odenkirk reprises his role of the slimy Saul Goodman in the earlier years of his career when he was still known as Jimmy McGill.

Starring: Bill Hader, Sarah Goldberg

What it's about: A contract killer from the Midwest on an assignment in Los Angeles decides to switch career aspirations after randomly walking into an acting class.

Why it is worth watching if you like Breaking Bad: Breaking Bad is not without its humorous moments, especially in the earlier seasons before growing darker over time, much like Barry (also created by Hader with Alec Berg), a story about a man’s struggle to escape his criminal lifestyle, which is at its absolute bleakest during the final season.

The Dexter Franchise (2006-Present)

What it's about: A man with homicidal urges acts as judge, jury, and executioner on Miami’s most awful criminals while working as a police forensics expert.

Why it is worth watching if you like Breaking Bad: Dexter is a classic example of an absorbing, twisted crime drama that tricks you into rooting for a criminal and, also like Breaking Bad, would spawn a franchise with a limited series revival called Dexter: New Blood in 2021, a prequel called Dexter: Original Sin premiering in 2025, and another revival called Dexter: Resurrection that premiered in 2025.

Fargo (2014-Present) 

Starring: Various

What it's about: Every season of this series, loosely inspired by one of the best Coen Brothers movies, tells a different story, such as one about a contract killer who makes a damning impact on a small town, another about a wife and mother whose dark past comes back to haunt her, and more.

What it's about: The rise of a young man who comes to play a pivotal role in the Los Angeles crack epidemic of the 1980s.

What it's about: A New Jersey mob boss struggles to balance his criminal lifestyle with being a family man.

Why it is worth watching if you like Breaking Bad: Breaking Bad, and modern television’s obsession with anti-hero stories, may never have existed without the influence of The Sopranos, which may have ended on a polarizing note, but is still widely remembered as one of the best dramas of its time, if not ever.

Weeds (2005-2012)

Starring: Mary-Louise Parker, Justin Kirk

What it's about: A teacher turns to dealing drugs to support her family.

Why it is worth watching if you like Breaking Bad: Even though Weeds follows a recently widowed mother selling marijuana instead of an ailing husband and father peddling meth, it is easy to see why Vince Gilligan was accused of ripping off Jenji Kohan’s Emmy-winning dramedy when he pitched Breaking Bad, as he recalled at the Paley Center for Media.

If you still have yet to see any of these acclaimed shows similar to Breaking Bad, I think your best course of action would not be to tread lightly, but to binge them all as soon as possible!

Even though it sometimes feels as if it may never actually come to fruition, DC’s long-gestating superhero saga Lanterns is indeed still in the works, and may actually now be back on track in a big way. Just over a year after the entire Green Lantern project was overhauled from top to bottom, the mystery-driven series has reportedly landed a new creative team leader at last, and I’m going to be very pumped if and when this info gets confirmed.

According to a new report from the DCEUleaks page on Reddit, Lanterns has filled its showrunner role with the talented Chris Mundy, who most recently served as showrunner, writer and executive producer for Netflix’s award-winning crime drama Ozark, which served as the breakout project for Emmy winner Julie Garner. While Mundy doesn’t have any kind of career path that has crossed with superhero fare in past years, this could be a match made in suspense-filled heaven. 

The current iteration of the Green Lantern-focused narrative, as we reported was revealed by James Gunn, will center on Hal Jordan and John Stewart watching over the Earth and getting invested in a “terrestrial-based mystery,” as he put it. The TV show namechecked at the time was HBO’s occult-esque hit True Detective, and while Chris Mundy wasn’t part of that particular creative team at any point, I think his resume is a solid match for where Gunn and Peter Safran are taking things. 

With an early career path writing and producing for shows such as Chicago Hope and Cold Case, Mundy landed a lengthier gig as a writer/co-executive producer through the first five hugely popular seasons of CBS’ Criminal Minds. From there, he co-created the 2011 spinoff Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, which starred actors also known for superhero gigs: Forest Whitaker (Black Panther), Matt Ryan (Constantine), Michael Kelly (Man of Steel), Beau Garrett (Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer) and Janeane Garofalo (Mystery Men). 

After that, Mundy teamed up with AMC for writing and executive producer duties on the dramas Hell on Wheels and Low Winter Sun, which he created for American TV based on the UK miniseries of the same name. A couple of years later, he joined Season 2 of Netflix’s acclaimed dark drama Bloodline, and then found some of the biggest success of his career as a creative force alongside Jason Bateman for the streaming hit Ozark, which was created by Bill Dubuque.

By all means, this is a huge gig for Chris Mundy, as Lanterns is part of the DCU’s Chapter 1, Gods and Monsters, along with Gunn’s Superman: Legacy, which will introduce Nathan Fillion’s Green Lantern Guy Gardner. It and the Batman-following Penguin standalone series are as highly anticipated as any DC TV shows on the way, not to mention the upcoming DC movies. So the pressure is definitely on, but I think coming from such a heavy crime drama background will definitely help Lanterns stand out from other superhero-driven projects on the horizon. 

Also worth noting in the rumor report is a shift in ages for its two main characters. While Hal and John were initially set to be around the same age, it’s said that John will now be in his 20s, while Hal will be older. 

While we're not yet sure when Lanterns will be available to stream with a Max subscription, but stay tuned for more updates, with Mundy's confirmed involvement hopefully in the mix. 

I’m not sure many people had a Suits resurgence on their 2023 TV bingo card. USA Network’s legal dramedy has emerged as a streaming phenomenon, as a number of Netflix subscription holders have been checking it out over the past few months. In that time, some of the cast and crew have spoken out, sharing their thoughts on the renewed interest in the show. Series creator Aaron Korsh is one of the people who’s weighed in, and he just shared more honest sentiments on the wave of success. At the same time, he also took a moment to playfully throw shade at Ozark. 

For weeks, Aaron Korsh’s show remained in Netflix’s Top 10 list and, while it’s no longer trending there now, its impact is still being felt. It was just reported that the series, which aired 9 seasons from 2011 to 2019, has shattered the Nielsen record for all-time overall streaming. Korsh caught wind of that massive accomplishment and went on to post about it on X (formerly known as Twitter). Through his message, the producer made two admissions and a declaration: 

If we’re to be honest with ourselves, at least some of us would probably have the same kind of response after seeing our work blow up in such a major way. It would be an understatement to say the Everybody Loves Raymond writer is pleased with how audiences have responded to his creation. What’s also impressive about that milestone is that the record previously belonged to acclaimed Netflix drama Ozark. With that, the EP just couldn’t help but (respectfully) poke fun at the Jason Bateman-led show in another X post: 

Shots fired! (Not really.) The Emmy-winning crime drama, of course, has plenty to be proud of, and the fact that it ever held that title in the first place should be commended. The series was a major hit for its streaming service during its run, and major acclaim was showered on it as well. So while the message above is something of a playful jab, it can also be seen as a “game recognizes game” acknowledgement in some regard.

Considering the success Suits has experienced, many have been clamoring for a reboot or revival. Aaron Korsh responded to those calls, confirming that nothing was actually in the works (in part due to the WGA writers strike at the time). Korsh actually seems to be fine with a revival of sorts not happening at some point. Interestingly enough, he actually seems more interested in returning to the fictional universe with a spinoff series. The specific one he has in mind is a prequel centered on Robert Zane, who was played by Wendell Pierce on the show and is the father of Meghan Markle’s Rachel.

Only time will tell if a revival or spinoff series actually comes to fruition. In the meantime though, the veteran TV producer appears as though he’s going to revel in his new status as “the king.” Sorry, Ozark, but you had your run. 

Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey were notable actors in their own right before they hooked up, but despite the differences in the size and goals of they're careers, they've made the perfect match. A few short years ago, the two embarked on a whirlwind romance that went from a meet cute to straight into wooing and starting a family together. 

Now, after the birth of little baby Pelphrey, a baby girl named Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey, their romance seems as if it’s sticking around for the long haul. Yet, how did the couple meet? And how did they get here so quickly? 

How Did Kaley Cuoco And Tom Pelphrey Meet And When Did They Start Dating? 

It was a setup that led The Big Bang Theory star to the leading man in her life. After her split from Karl Cook in September of 2021, she took some time for herself. Then, when she was ready to date again, it was actually their shared manager, Andrea Pett-Joseph, who hooked them up. It didn’t take long at all for the two to connect on a personal level, with Cuoco admitting to USA Today it happened at the Ozark premiere in April of 2022. 

Literally a month later, in May of 2022, Cuoco was already talking about being “ready to build a life together” with the actor and the whirlwind romance continued from there. By September of 2022, the actress was referring to her relationship as “love at first sight,” telling Extra the meet-cute was “magical,” but that it had come at just the right time.

She’d spent months working on herself amidst her second divorce from Karl Cook, whom she'd been married to from 2018-2022 (Cuoco had also previously been married to Ryan Sweeting from 2013-2016). She’d done “a lot of therapy and self-reflection” before she showed up fortuitously at the Ozark premiere.

Pelphrey went a step further and shared a sweet quote about what it was like to be in love with a new woman, also sharing some Polaroids of the couple together that same month.

How Kaley And Tom Announced They Would Be Mom And Dad

Like many celebrities these days, when the timing was right, Cuoco and Pelphrey took to social media to announce the impending birth of little baby Pelphrey. They celebrated with a post for the fans. 

Celebrity pals like Lacey Chabert, Josh Brolin, T.R. Knight and even some of Cuoco's The Big Bang Theory co-stars reached out after she shared the news, with Melissa Rauch sending the most "tremendous congratulations." Later, Jim Parsons would also open up about his former TBBT co-star's baby news, calling it "incredible" and explaining how the former Ms. Penny has been such a "comforting presence" to be around. 

The couple also shared a slew of snaps from Cuoco's pregnancy journey they'd clearly been keeping on ice for a few months as the mom-to-be got closer to her due date. There was even a look at herself and her stunt double dressed out to film an action movie when she was a few months in.  

Cuoco later got candid about giving up some of her favorite things, including horseback riding, whilst pregnant, but she also has been happily nesting in the time since. And Pelphrey has said the two felt "blessed" about the turn of events.

Kaley Cuoco Was Already Pregnant During She And Tom Pelphrey's Red Carpet Debut

We noted prior the two stars got together in the spring of 2022, and by late summer, the star was already pregnant with the couple's first child. Not that you would have known it. The couple actually made their first red carpet appearance at the Emmy Awards on September 12, 2022. Pelphrey looked smart in a dark suit and Cuoco wore a high waisted frothy pink number. 

Cuoco later pointed her secret pregnancy out on her own Instagram, sharing more details about how one red carpet look almost didn't work for her:

Her growing baby bump nearly caused a wardrobe malfunction, but the two ultimately figured it out and looked really great on the red carpet. The Flight Attendant actress later took to social media to thank Dolce & Gabbana for the "dreamiest dress." She also thanked her new beau for being the "dreamiest date." He responded back, calling her his "Angel." 

It was literally around that time that Kaley Cuoco was promoting Meet Cute, her actual rom-com with Pete Davidson, and the timing of her real-life whirlwind romance couldn’t have been better. It wasn’t the end of the story, either.

Preparing For A Baby Girl At Work And At Home

The former Big Bang Theory actress has kept busy in the time since her classic TV role ended. She's had successes with projects like The Flight Attendant and even the surprising rom-com Meet Cute opposite Pete Davidson. It was after she had signed on for her latest project Based on A True Story that Cuoco realized she was pregnant, and she actually worked her pregnancy into the Peacock series. 

Meanwhile, after filming on that series ended Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey spent the last few months of 2022 and 2023 nesting. She shared shots at home with her growing little one. 

Those months also put Tom Pelphrey's "build it" skills to the test. The soon-to-be dad, like many a formerly single man before him, tried his hand at putting together some much-needed baby gear, and it didn't look like a task for the faint of heart. 

Despite her partner's efforts, The Big Bang Theory star admitted she's not a "prepper" and had read "zero books" ahead of the birth of her little one. Instead she told ET she was "trusting the process" and that everything would work out. 

Just after 2023 kicked off, the couple went all out for a baby shower, complete with a drone show at the end of the night. The actress posted plenty of photos from the big event, including her cute pink dress, an over-the-top cake and more. Regardless, the drone show they put on for their family and friends was certainly the standout of the event.

As the couple got closer to welcoming Baby Pelphrey, they stepped out less often, and even enjoyed the Oscars from the comfort of their own home. 

Then, as the weather began warming up, the couple also jointly shared one more  post with fans from their maternity shoot, which featured their fur babies. It seemed they were ready to move forward with this new phase of their coupledom and lives. 

Meet Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey

Born on 3-30-2023, Matilda Carmine Richie Pelphrey was announced by the couple at the beginning of April. Personally, I find it a little risky to make a baby announcement around April Fool's day, but this is one announcement that was quite legitimate. 

The actress said ahead of her baby's birth that she'd gotten some advice from a friend with a newborn, who told her "your baby's going to tell you what to do," which helped her to prepare for what was next. Kaley Cuoco even shared a bunch of BTS looks at how the family was faring behind the scenes. In fact, Matilda was immediately a bit of a daddy's girl. 

The Cuoco-Pelphrey Family Celebrated Their First Easter Together

Are you tired of adorable baby photos yet? I hope you are not tired, because there's more to come. As cherry blossoms bloomed and deviled eggs were made, Easter was celebrated this April. Not only was it baby Matilda's first Easter together, it was the first Easter the couple would have officially celebrated together as a family. In fact, 2023 featured a lot of relationship firsts for Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey, including their anniversary. 

Yes, that's their little one yawning in the sunlight, but can I help it if I'm distracted a bit by that gorgeous infinity pool? I digress. Either way, family and friends were in attendance and I'm glad the crew of three was able to celebrate their first holiday together in style. 

So, What's Next For The Dynamic Duo? 

The couple has fully seemed to embrace and adjust to a new life with a baby at home. This includes adorable moments of family power naps and more. While the new family is currently bonding, Kaley Cuoco has been candid that she only plans to take a short amount of time off. She worked during her pregnancy, and of her short break from acting she said: 

Meanwhile, just a few months after Matilda's birth in June of 2023, the actress said she and Pelphrey made time for a couples-only weekend away, and explained why that has to be a part of their foundation as parents. She wrote on Instagram: 

Kaley Cuoco's been candid that people ask her about Baby No. 2 every "minute," but that she and her beau take everything one day at a time. Having a baby is difficult for anyone, and at 40 Cuoco has other priorities, including her pets and her career. She recently told Dax Shepard on Armchair Expert she had never actually thought she would get to be a mom, so having Matilda has been lovely for her.

Presumably in the coming months, she and her husband will be able to figure out a work schedule that keeps them, their fur babies, and their little one happy. From what Cuoco previously said, they have a pretty solid plan in place as they move forward, together.

As a writer, I am faced with many shows and movies to watch, whether that be anime, live-action, or cartoons, both in films and TV, it’s hard for me to keep up to date with everything all the time. Which was a huge reason as to why I hadn't gotten around to watching Ozark.

It wasn’t that I hadn’t heard it’s a great show, but it was just because there were so many other pieces of media at the time for me to watch, it was impossible for me to keep up to date with everything. But then Christmas break came around this year, and I decided to give the show about a family moving to the Ozarks in Missouri a try. 

And wow, I understand the hype now. 

As a new fan of the concluded series, let’s get into how much I actually did love Ozark on Netflix – and why it took me so long to really like it. 

Jason Bateman Was Awesome As The Lead

I’ve followed Jason Bateman’s career for some time now. I loved him in Arrested Development, and I really liked him in many of his comedic movies like Horrible Bosses, Game Night – heck, I was even a fan of his voice-acting in Zootopia, one of my favorite recent Disney films. So when I heard he was the lead of a serious drama show, I was pretty nervous to check it out because I had never seen him in a super dramatic role before. 

Granted, he's certainly not the first comedic actor to show off their dramatic skills -- , such as Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston and more -- so I gave it a shot. And wow, he did great. 

Jason Bateman’s performance was the first thing in this show that captivated me. His voice in the opening scene was something that was familiar, but it’s the way he spoke and acted as Marty that drew me in. He was calculated, cold (when he needed to be), but overall, a freaking smart character, but I have a feeling that no one else could have played him as well. He was just that good. 

But Let’s Be Honest – Julia Garner Stole The Show

Even so, while Jason Bateman was the original reason I did watch the show, I have to give props to Julia Garner. 

I have to preface this by saying I had seen a few episodes of her acting performance before in Ozark when I was researching to write an article about her best movies and TV shows, which includes her work on Ozark, but I never got the full picture until now. I understand the hype she has received for starring in the series. 

Her portrayal of Ruth is killer. I’ve seen Garner in several other pieces of media recently – especially in 2022 with Inventing Anna – but the performance was just a different animal in Ozark. Ruth is the kind of person that you really don’t want to mess with and you feel that tension through the screen, and that’s all because of Garner’s amazing acting. 

It’s no wonder that Garner has been working so much after starring in this show – this was her true breakthrough – and I am so happy I was finally able to check it out in full. 

It Actually Introduced Me To New Areas Of The Country I Never Knew About

I’m going to be honest – I never knew the Ozarks even existed before watching Ozark. 

I didn’t grow up in Missouri – far from it, as I’m a native New Yorker – but I was always interested in learning more about the United States. And I have to say, this is the first show in a while that made me want to travel to more rural areas of the country that I never would have visited before. 

The Ozarks, at least featured in the show, are honestly really beautiful, and it makes me wonder just how many more hidden gems there are out there – granted, what happens at the Ozarks in this show isn’t necessarily a good thing, but it still got me interested in learning more. And when a show can do that, it’s a win in my book. 

Each Episode Gives You A Reason To Keep Watching

When I say that Ozark can be a wild time, I mean that in the best way. 

There are few shows that really captured me in the first episode. In a lot of shows, there are so many times where I have to keep giving it a chance to really get into it. 

Ted Lasso on Apple TV+, which is one of my favorites shows right now, had to really get a few episodes deep for me to really enjoy it. The same thing happened with the mega-hit, Wednesday. Even Game of Thrones to an extent, didn’t draw me in instantly. I needed to get through a couple episodes – and I love fantasy shows. 

That did not happen with Ozark – because this show drew me in instantly. While the beginning of the pilot feels a little slow, it’s the ending where everything is escalating so quickly that you can’t help but keep watching – and it’s the same way with each episode. 

Every single one of them always gives you a reason to tune into the next episode, and even when it was three a.m. and my eyes were dying to go to sleep, I kept watching. I haven’t had a viewing experience like that since watching all of Attack on Titan. It draws you in like no other. 

And Let Me Just Say, The Cinematography Is Pretty Great

I feel like not  enough people talk about the cinematography of Ozark and I need to give props to the people who work behind the scenes because it is amazing in this show. Obviously, there are some awesome shots, such as the first time we see the Ozarks in the final scene of the first episode, but there are some moments that are filmed so expertly, you don’t even see what’s coming up. 

I want to use a shot from the first episode to explain – really any episode – but it would be a major spoiler and I can’t do that. Each shot tells a story and it’s so well-done that it makes me want to take up cinematography. Expert work here. 

I Understand The Comparison To Breaking Bad – But It Really Is A Different Show

I get it. I really do – but these shows are so different from the very start. 

Whether it was my dad explaining it, or other people I’ve spoken to, everyone always compares Ozark to Breaking Bad, because it’s a very similar premise – a family man is given an impossible mission and has to succeed in order keep his family safe and protected, and slowly ends up doing more harmful things as time goes on. 

In Breaking Bad, that was Walt’s diagnosis with cancer and him deciding to make meth in order to provide for for his family. In Ozark, it’s about a money laundering scheme and needing to protect his family from getting harmed from the cartel. But Ozark is so different in so many ways. The premises and ideas are similar, but the content is not. 

Marty is a much easier protagonist to follow, at least in my opinion, and to root for, but it’s the people around him. I’ll be straight up right now and say that Marty informs his family about what’s going on instantly. They aren’t kept in the dark for long. And that’s what really makes this show stand out – it is, at its core, a family show, and what people will do for the ones they care about, even if it’s illegal. It may be a different type of family, but family is family. 

That’s what I really love about Ozark. Trust me, I love the Breaking Bad universe as well, but this one is different in a good way, and it deserves separate attention. 

Ozark is seriously one of the best shows I watched in 2022, and if you haven’t gotten the chance to check it out, be sure to watch it now on Netflix. You won’t regret it. 

Stream Ozark on Netflix. 

After a successful run on Ozark, Jason Bateman is returning to Netflix with a new limited series. Along with Bateman, Jude Law is also set to star and produce the show. 

Deadline reported that the series is called Black Rabbit, and that both actors are set to star in and executive produce the limited series. Bateman was also hired to direct, which makes sense considering his successful track record of directing Ozark. This marks the first time the two actors are working together, and it will also be Bateman’s first show following his hit Netflix drama. 

Zach Baylin and Kate Susman have been hired to pen the series, notably, Baylin wrote the script for the Oscar-nominated King Richard. Nothing is currently known about the premise for the show, other than it’s an original idea. 

The series is coming from multiple production companies including Bateman’s Aggregate Films and Law’s Riff Raff Entertainment. Everyone involved in this project is extremely successful and has worked on some exciting projects recently, plus they all have others lined up, along with this limited series. 

Even though Bateman made a name for himself in comedies like Arrested Development, he’s had massive success in the world of drama and thrillers in recent years. His Netflix series made the list of 2022 Emmy winners, and in 2019 he won an Emmy for directing Ozark. The drama’s final season, which Bateman noted he wanted a happy-ish ending, was part of the 2022 TV schedule airing its final episodes earlier in the year. Following Ozark, Bateman is not only in pre-production on this show with Law, but he’s also keeping his Netflix run going by starring in a thriller called Carry On and directing another thriller called Dark Wire.

As for Law, he most recently appeared in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, as the younger version of the beloved character Albus Dumbledore. This will be Law’s third limited series in recent years as he starred in the critically acclaimed The New Pope and the 2020 series The Third Day. Along with the project with Bateman, the actor also has multiple exciting films and shows in the works, including Peter Pan & Wendy, where he’s playing Captain Hook, as well as Sherlock Holmes 3. He is also joining the Star Wars universe by way of the series Skeleton Crew. 

The writers attached to the series have worked on some notable projects as well. Baylin wrote the Williams sisters’ biopic King Richard, and he penned the script for Creed III. While Susman has exciting projects in the works with Baylin, including a show called The Order. 

It’s super exciting to see these two actors working together on a project. While it’s an unexpected pairing, Law’s work in both film and TV, along with Bateman’s success in both comedy and drama makes me confident this will be a series to keep an eye out for. Eventually, Black Rabbit will make its way to Netflix, but in the meantime, you can watch Bateman’s last successful thriller series Ozark with a Netflix subscription. 

Kaley Cuoco and her beau Tom Pelphrey recently announced they’re having a baby! The actress posted the announcement on her Instagram, and she has been documenting the journey. Now her partner is also speaking about the pregnancy, and it is so sweet. 

While chatting with Extra to promote his movie American Murder, which is part of the 2022 movie schedule, Pelphrey talked about his excitement regarding the pregnancy. He said: 

This announcement comes after the couple met in April and made it Instagram official in May. 

They met at the premiere for Ozark, the duo has the same management team and Cuoco was her manager’s guest. Pelphrey has a recurring role on the show, and they met during the event.  The couple got together a few months after she finalized her divorce from Karl Cook in September 2021. 

To add to all the cuteness around this couple, Pelphrey posted some adorable photos on Instagram of them finding out the gender of their baby and holding the cutest papa and mama bear mugs. He wrote: 

Along with Pelphrey’s post, Cuoco shared her own set of adorable photos. The couple had a cake with pink filling to announce they would be having a baby girl, check it out: 

The actress has also been posting lots of fun pregnancy content on her Instagram stories. From pointing out she was pregnant at the Emmy’s, to introducing her horses to the baby, to posting a video of her crying while watching Selma Blair's emotional exit from Dancing with the Stars, she’s been keeping it real and giving us all a peek into what it’s like being pregnant. 

On top of the pregnancy, both actors have had big years professionally.

Cuoco returned to her hit HBO show The Flight Attendant this spring, which she received an Emmy nomination for. She also starred alongside Pete Davidson in the Peacock romantic movie Meet Cute. 

Meanwhile, Pelphrey has had a busy year, he’s been in multiple shows on the 2022 TV schedule, and multiple movies. He returned as Ben Davis on the Netflix drama Ozark, and he starred alongside Josh Brolin in Outer Range. On top of all that, he is starring in the upcoming movies She Said and American Murderer. 

It’s so exciting to see the couple have great success in work and how much they adore each other. The baby is expected to come in 2023, and while we wait you can check out their various projects from the past year, and stay tuned to their Instagrams where they post lots of adorable content together. 

When you think of the best shows to binge on Netflix, I’m sure plenty come to mind. With new and upcoming original shows from the 2026 TV schedule, as well as a massive catalog of go-to favorites, there’s no shortage of series to check out as you lose hours (and possibly days) to an intense marathon.

When my kids were young, we used to watch so much Booba, an animated show about a little furry creature getting in all kinds of mischief in a variety of different places.

The West Wing (1999 - 2006)

Though not every episode is a certified banger (it’s kind of hard to pull that off with 20+ episodes each season), The West Wing is, by and large, one of the best political dramas to ever grace the small screen.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013 – 2021)

I truly consider Brooklyn Nine-Nine one of the last best workplace sitcoms because it’s just so good. The series follows a group of police officers, detectives, and more at a fictional police precinct in New York City, and tells the story of all their personal and professional lives. The series is led by Andy Samberg, and the Brooklyn Nine-Nine cast is just as hilarious as its star.

Bridgerton (2020 - Present)

With four seasons to watch, the Netflix original series Bridgerton has all the makings of a binge-worthy show. With an outstanding and diverse cast, an engaging story about families in England’s Regency era seeking love, fortune, and power, and a clever way of incorporating modern music and culture into a long-ago period, the show is a fascinating addition to the Netflix library. Now we’re just waiting to see what’s in store with Season 5.

Adolescence (2025)

Hailing from Britain, Adolescence is the kind of psychological drama that only comes once every few years and takes the world by storm. The series mainly follows a 13-year-old schoolboy who is arrested after a girl in his school is killed. This series has won major awards (Emmys, Golden Globes, Critics' Choice Awards, The Actors, etc.), so why not join in on the craze and see what all the fuss is about?

The Crown (2016 - 2023)

With so many characters coming in and out of Buckingham Palace (and 10 Downing Street) over the course of each of The Crown’s six seasons, there’s a lot to keep track of, but it pays off handsomely. From the final days of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II taking over the throne up to the late 1980s, Peter Morgan’s tireless efforts to unfold the drama of the royal family make for one of the most engaging and enchanting shows of the modern era.

The Queen’s Gambit (2020)

Few limited series grabbed hold of the Netflix subscriber base more than The Queen’s Gambit in late 2020. Seriously, the story of a young chess prodigy with all sorts of personal demons and struggles to overcome, told over seven episodes, is a masterpiece in television drama. From the early days of Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) learning to play chess in an orphanage’s basement to the show’s fulfilling ending, The Queen’s Gambit is perfect from start to finish.

Black Mirror (2011 - Present)

There are few shows as fun or terrifying as the sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror. Over the course of the seven available seasons on Netflix, you can watch characters face a reality in which the advancement of technology and the ease it brings to their lives can also be their downfall. And Netflix has announced that Black Mirror Season 8 is on the way, though we’re still left in the dark when it comes to the release date.

Peaky Blinders (2013 - 2022) 

If you’re looking for a gangster epic that will surely hold your attention, Peaky Blinders is the way to go. This popular British series takes place not that long after World War I, and focuses on the Peaky Blinders gang (hence the title), and all the trials and tribulations of their criminal organization and the enemies they’ve made along the way.

It looks like there won’t be any rest for Jason Bateman anytime soon. After wrapping production on Ozark, Bateman is moving on to star in another project for Netflix alongside Kingsman's Taron Egerton. The actor has been tapped to star in the action thriller titled Carry On. This film will be a part of Amblin Entertainment’s production deal with Netflix that emerged in June of 2021. 

According to the log line provided by Deadline, Carry On is about a young TSA agent named Ethan Kopek who is blackmailed by a mysterious traveler into letting a dangerous package slip through security onto a flight on Christmas Day. Bateman is rumored to be playing the mysterious traveler, but nothing concrete has been announced. 

The film will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, with TJ Fixman penning the first draft of the script and Michael Green polishing for a final draft. Jaume Collet-Serra is the director behind The Shallows, and more recently the upcoming DC movie Black Adam. Fixman is the writer behind the animated feature Ratchet and Clank starring Sylvester Stallone, and Michael Green has been incredibly successful composing screenplays for Logan and Blade Runner 2049, among other projects. War for the Planet of the Apes producer Dylan Clark is also attached to produce on the project, along with Brian Williams, Scott Greenberg, and Seth William Meier attached as executive producers.

Jason Bateman has received many accolades for his performance on Netflix’s Ozark, including an Emmy win in 2019. Bateman has been nominated again for two Emmys this year for both acting and directing on the series. Previously, he starred in Arrested Development, which was picked up by Netflix from Fox in 2013 for two final seasons. Given Bateman’s clearly positive experience working with Netflix, it's no wonder he would want to work with the streaming service again. Signing Bateman on to another project is also a positive move for Netflix. The streaming service has been losing subscribers, and Ozark fans may stick with the service if Bateman is still involved in projects. Carry On could just be what Netflix needs. 

Bateman has been busy on many other projects outside of his relationship with Netflix. The Horrible Bosses star recently wrapped production on an untitled film about Nike, and the company's relationship with basketball legend Michael Jordan in the 1990s. Bateman will be starring alongside Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and the film is being made for Amazon. The release date is still TBA, but we probably shouldn’t expect to see the film until late 2023. 

Bateman was also originally tapped to direct the Ryan Reynolds led Clue remake, but said he had to give up the job due to scheduling conflicting with Ozark. However, with Ozark wrapping last year, there could be room for Bateman to return to the film. 

Carry On will be available exclusively for Netflix subscribers in the near future. In the meantime, check out our feature on some of the other best Netflix shows to binge alongside Ozark.

Before you know it, the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony will be here (September 12th to be exact), and we’ll all be glued to our TV sets once more as we wait to see which of our favorite shows will take home top honors. Although some of us have watched all or at least most of the great dramas, comedies, and limited series nominated for an Emmy, there are just as many who need to play a serious game of catch-up before the big show.

Last week, I made a prediction (based on previous findings) that it might not actually be too safe to bet on 1986’s Top Gun becoming the most popular title on Netflix’s Top 10 Movies in the U.S., even with its acclaimed, smash-hit follow-up, Top Gun: Maverick, hitting theaters that weekend. I did have a good feeling, though, about Stranger Things turning the platform’s Top 10 TV Shows upside down upon the highly anticipated and also acclaimed premiere of its fourth season’s first volume that same day. Well, it appears that only one of my predictions came true over the weekend and the results on Memorial Day - Monday, May 30, 2022 - are no different. However, there is more to behold among the top trending titles on Netflix today, so read on for more.

Top 10 Movies On Netflix In The U.S. - May 30, 2022

With the release of Top Gun: Maverick notwithstanding, it is fitting to see a movie that celebrates that bravery of the U.S. Air Force like the original Top Gun at Number One on Netflix’s Top Movies on Memorial Day (also its third time claiming the spot in a row). Switching second and third places from yesterday are new Netflix original movies Senior Year and A Perfect Pairing, followed by the 2019 crime thriller Disappearance at Clifton Hill (starring Noah Reid) making an impressive debut on the list in fourth place, knocking Jackass 4.5 down a peg. Also down just a spot or a few from yesterday are Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 2018’s Ben is Back, culinary drama Toscana, and haunting crime doc Our Father, while Indian import RRR has risen in popularity since entering the ranks.

• 1. Top Gun
• 2. Senior Year
• 3. A Perfect Pairing
• 4. Disappearance At Clifton Hill
• 5. Jackass 4.5
• 6. RRR
• 7. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
• 8. Ben is Back

• 10. Our Father

Top 10 TV Shows On Netflix In The U.S. - May 30, 2022

No advanced cognitive ability was required for us totally call that the latest collection of episodes of Stranger Things (featuring stellar new cast members) would totally rule Netflix’s Top 10 TV Shows over Memorial Day weekend, and our findings on Memorial Day itself are no exception either. In fact, much of the list looks pretty identical from yesterday with legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer in second place and, once again, followed by crime thrillers Wrong Side of the Tracks and Ozark, the newest series spin-off of the The Boss Baby (subtitled Back in the Crib), the American version of Love on the Spectrum, and hit original reality competition The Circle. Digging its way back up in popularity is Who Killed Sara? at Number Eight, while David Letterman’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction has dropped to Number Ten and smash-hit children’s program Cocomelon remains in ninth place from yesterday.

• 1. Stranger Things
• 2. The Lincoln Lawyer
• 3. Wrong Side of the Tracks
• 4. Ozark
• 5. The Boss Baby: Back in the Crib
• 6. Love on the Spectrum: US
• 7. The Circle
• 8. Who Killed Sara?
• 9. Cocomelon
• 10. My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman

I trust that a good number of people with a Netflix subscription will, instead, choose to spend their Memorial Day outside with family and friends in remembrance of those who gave their lives for their country. However, I am sure there will also be a few subscribers who do choose to stay in for certain reasons and spend the day passing them with a new binge. We will be sure to let you know what titles secured spots on the Top 10 Movies and Top 10 TV Shows with their help tomorrow in our next daily breakdown.

The following contains major spoilers for the Netflix series Ozark, so do not read if you haven’t watched the show, and still plan to. 

Stepping back and looking at the totality of Ozark, one of the best Netflix shows the streaming service has offered, it’s easy to focus on the murder and betrayal that swam in the wake of the Byrde family as they fought to attain their goals. Because yes, a lot of people lost their lives over the course of the program’s four seasons, and the way the show ended promised more loss (though, for who was up to your interpretation).Yet there were moments of beauty and longing, of love and passion on Ozark that can go overlooked… even when they are between two “odd ducks” like the twenty-something Wyatt Langmore (Charlie Tahan) and his senior citizen wife, Darlene Snell (Lisa Emery).

Ozark director Amanda Marsalis labeled Wyatt and Darlene “odd ducks” during a recent conversation with CinemaBlend following the show’s finale, which she claims is the definitive end and is not meant to leave the door open for more Ozark. Thanks to the episodes that Marsalis directed in Season 2, 3 and 4, she got to film a number of memorable and tragic death scenes...and also that memorable sex scene.  

Marsalis opened up to us about how her approach to the scene helped turn what could have been a spoof into something she found to be emotional. She told CinemaBlend:

I’m not sure I ever fully understood the romance between Wyatt and Darlene that began in Season 3. Sure, you can argue that Ruth (Julia Garner) pushed Wyatt away from the Langmores and into the arms of Darlene when she confessed to murdering Wyatt’s father and uncle. Also, Darlene had experienced tremendous loss once she’d murdered her own husband, Jacob (Peter Mullen). As these two wounded souls sought solace, they found it in each other. Stranger things have happened, I suppose… even on Ozark. So ultimately, I’m glad that Amanda Marsalis recognized enough humanity in Darlene and Wyatt’s relationship to treat their sex scene seriously, and produce what we saw. 

There has been some controversy over how Ozark ended, with leading man Jason Bateman warning fans that the resolution for the Byrde family wasn’t going to please everyone. There are some lingering Ozark questions that we wish Season 4 had addressed, and the executives at Netflix as well as series showrunner Chris Mundy have teased the possibility of an Ozark spinoff that could bring us back to Missouri for more criminal behavior. I want to see Wendy Byrde (Laura Linney) in Washington D.C., holding a Senate seat for Missouri and making life living hell for the Beltway crowd. 

Bummed that Ozark is done? Have no fear. Your next binge-able Netflix show can be found on our 2022 Netflix TV schedule, so scan it now and start watching.  

The following story gets into MAJOR spoilers for the final season of Ozark, so if you haven’t yet caught up on the last batch of episodes, back away now. 

Certain programs get criticized for ambiguous endings. The Sopranos takes the most heat for the cut-to-black moment David Chase put in his series finale, but Lost also gets abused by critics and fans for its resolution (whether fairly or not). Time will tell where Jason Bateman’s Ozark finale will land in the grand scheme of series finales, but it does end with a cut to black and a gun shot that most viewers probably can apply meaning to, even though it leaves the key series characters – the Byrde family – alive and well and on the other side of all the vile crimes they committed. 

In the wake of the final seven episodes landing on Netflix, series director Amanda Marsalis spoke with CinemaBlend about the conclusion, her contributions to the fourth season (she helmed pivotal episodes such as “Mud” and “Pick a God and Pray”), and the open-ended nature of the show’s final shot. I asked Marsalis if the Byrde’s surviving the series meant that Ozark might return one day and she definitively stated:

At one point during our conversation, Amanda Marsalis and I discussed the power of Ozark being able to choose its ending, despite the fact that she wishes she was still working on it now and planning out a fifth season. But shows who can point to an end – be it Breaking Bad or its prequel Better Call Saul – tend to deliver satisfying conclusions because they have been mapped put, plotted towards, and realized. It might mean, as is the case with Lost, that co-stars are still explaining the meaning in interviews years after the fact. But conversation swirling around a show can never be bad, because it might inspire new people to start at the beginning and binge through to the end. 

Prior to the final batch of Ozark episodes arrived, leading man and frequent director Jason Bateman revealed his hopes for the resolution for the Byrdes. And then our own Mick Joest did a deep-dive analysis into what was shown, who we lost, and what the final shot of the program meant to him. 

Now, one way that Netflix could keep the cartel money flowing into its bank accounts is to explore a spinoff series, which has been suggested. But I’m taking Amanda Marsalis at her word, and saying goodbye to the Byrde family, and thanking them for this wild ride.  It really is one of the best Netflix shows available.

Every time a new show arrives on TV or any one of the various streaming services like Hulu and HBO Max, something has to get cut to make room for the new growth. It has happened before and will continue to happen as long as the medium is alive or until the lights finally go out. And 2022 is no different, as some of the biggest shows of the past decade (or longer) like Better Call Saul, Peaky Blinders, and The Walking Dead Season 11 will all air their final episodes at some point this year.

Below is a rather comprehensive list of all the TV shows that are ending or cancelled in 2022. There’s a lot to go over here, so let’s get started before another show is giving the axe or added to the list of titles leaving Netflix.

4400

The CW’s reboot of 4400, which followed a group of people who suddenly return after going missing with no memory of what happened, was one of the numerous series cancelled in May 2022. The show only lasted one season after premiering in October 2021.

A Discovery Of Witches

In December 2021, Digital Spy reported that the third and final season of the popular romantic drama A Discovery of Witches starring Matthew Goode and Teresa Palmer would start up January 7, 2022.

Fans of the supernatural horror series Archive 81 were in for a shocker when Netflix announced the show, which was based on the podcast of the same name, would not be returning for a second season.

Arthur

The PBS Kids series Arthur, which is based on the collection of children’s books of the same name, has been releasing new episodes on a fairly consistent basis since September 1996. That run ends in 2022 when the show’s 25th and final season debuts, per the New York Times. However, PBS is leaving the door open for more Arthur content in the future.

After Life

The Ricky Gervais black comedy series After Life has called Netflix home its entire run dating back to March 2019, but that comes to an end when the third and final set of episodes debuted on the streaming service on January 14, 2022. The show’s final season was confirmed by the Netflix UK & Ireland Twitter account in December 2021.

Atlanta

Although it’s not one of the shows that got the ax, Donald Glover’s beloved FX series, Atlanta, will be ending its run following the release of the fourth and final season, which is slated to premiere at some point in fall 2022.

B Positive 

The Thomas Middleditch- and Annaleigh Ashford-starring CBS sitcom, B Positive, never really took off with audiences throughout its two-season run, which resulted in the network pulling the plug after the Season 2 finale in May 2015.

Batwoman

Gotham lost one of its protectors in April 2022 when The CW announced that Batwoman would not be returning for a fourth season, making the Season 3 finale also the final episode.

Better Call Saul

Since 2015, Vince Gilligan’s Better Call Saul has been one of the best shows, not just on AMC but TV in general. But everything must come to an end at some point, and that time has come for the the Bob Odenkirk-led dark comedy series. Better Call Saul Season 6 debuted April 18, 2022.

Better Things

The FX comedy series Better Things will come to an end when the show’s fifth and final season premiered on February 28, 2022. The series, which followed single mother and working actress Sam Fox (Pamela Adlon, who also co-created the show alongside Louis C.K.) first debuted back in September 2016, and was called a “frank and funny look at womanhood” in the CinemaBlend review.

The Big Leap

The Fox musical comedy-drama, The Big Leap, which followed a group of people who put it all on the line in a reality dance competition, won’t be returning for more episodes after Fox cancelled the series following one season, in March 2022.

Black-ish

Kenya Barris’ successful and influential comedy series black-ish kicked off its eighth and final season on ABC on January 4, 2022, starting the final chapter in the story of sitcom that has spawned multiple spinoffs and received numerous awards over the years including a Golden Globe, a Primetime Emmy, and more than two dozen NAACP Image Awards.

Black Market With Michael K. Williams

The Vice TV docuseries Black Market with Michael K. Williams will come to an end after its second and final season premiered January 10, 2022 on the network, per Variety. The series, which originally premiered back in 2016, was forced to come to an end following the shocking and untimely death of host Michael K. Williams in September 2021.

Bull

The popular CBS legal drama series, Bull, which centered on Michael Weatherly’s tenacious psychologist and jury expert, is not returning for a seventh season, though it got a chance to wrap things up with a two-part series finale in May 2022.

Charmed

After four seasons, The CW cancelled the Charmed reboot series in May 2022, alongside several other of the network’s notable shows.

Claws

The final episode of the TNT dramedy series Claws will air its final episode when Season 4 concluded February 6, 2022, a little less than five years after it debuted on the cable network. The fourth and final season of the hit series was announced back in October 2019, per Deadline, and premiered in December 2021.

Cooking With Paris

Just a few months after it made its Netflix debut in August 2021, Cooking with Paris was cancelled by the streaming service. The Paris Hilton-led cooking program, which featured a number of guest stars and hilarious culinary situations, was not renewed for a second season, per Deadline.

Dead To Me

After three seasons, the Linda Cardellini and Christina Applegate-led dark comedy Dead to Me came to an end on Netflix. The finale, which offered closure, aired in November 2022.

The Dr. Oz Show

The Dr. Oz Show, the daytime talk series hosted by Dr. Mehmet Oz ended after 13 seasons and nearly 1,700 episodes on January 14, 2022. The talk show ended its run after Oz announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, per Variety.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show

The Ellen DeGeneres Show will complete its historic daytime run when the syndicated talk show completes its 19th and final season at some point in 2022. The announcement to end things came from DeGeneres herself in 2021, when she said she needed something new to challenge her.

Endeavour

After nearly a decade on the airwaves, the British detective series Endeavour will finally come to an end following the conclusion of its ninth and final season, according to TV Line.  

The Endgame

The Morena Baccarin and Ryan Michelle Bathé-led The Endgame joined the list of cancelled NBC shows in May 2022, according to Variety, bringing an end to the drama series after just one season on the network.

The Expanse

After six seasons (and two different homes), the popular sci-fi series The Expanse aired its final episode on January 14, 2022, on Amazon a little less than six years to the date of its debut on SyFy. 

The Good Fight

The Paramount+ (and CBS All Access before that) legal drama The Good Fight will come to an end following the conclusion of its sixth season, which premiered in September 2022.

Good Sam

In May 2022, CBS pulled the plug on the freshman medical drama series, Good Sam, that saw Jason Isaacs and Sophia Bush play a father-daughter doctor duo. According to Deadline, the series was the lowest-rated scripted program on CBS in the 2021-2022 season.

Grace and Frankie

Grace and Frankie, the long-running Netflix comedy series starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as two women who become friends when their husbands announce they are in love with one another, came to an end with its seventh season.

One of the biggest streaming shows recently came to an end, and those with a Netflix subscription got to see the Ozark ending and how things worked out for Marty Byrde, his family, and Ruth. The finale was certainly a bit polarizing for fans so far, and there are a lot of opinions about it online. 

Not everything in the Ozark ending was controversial, but there were certainly a couple of moments that might have fans talking for years after the finale. Let’s break it all down below and include some insight from those who worked on the show about why certain decisions were made.

The Byrdes Worked Out A New Deal To Secure Their Safety

The Byrdes successfully navigated a deal at the midpoint in the season that got them free of prosecution and allowed them to “go legit,” but then Ruth went and killed Omar Navarro’s nephew, Javi. With Javi dead, the FBI didn’t have a cartel leader under their thumb and pulled their deal as a result. The Byrdes, who felt pressure from the cartel to get Navarro out of prison and now back under potential prosecution from the FBI once again, were in a tight spot. 

In the end, they worked out a new deal to get themselves free from the cartel, but it wasn’t easy. Oscar Navarro’s sister, Camila, ultimately agreed to run the cartel under a verbal agreement with the FBI. Ruth, who now owned the controlling shares of the Missouri Belle, allowed money to continue to be laundered through it. The deal was essentially the same as the one that came before, without a deal for Omar in place. The antagonist did have a special part to play in the whole thing, however, just not one that he liked. 

Omar Navarro Died For The Deal To Go Through

Omar Navarro wanted out of the cartel, but it’s fair to say that that whole dream ultimately led to his undoing. He was in jail for a vast amount of Season 4, but he assumed he could use his influence to navigate his way out of prison and back into a quiet life free from the cartel and prosecution. It seemed he still thought that right up until the moment a hired prison guard shot him and then set up the whole thing as an attempted escape. 

The hit was orchestrated by Camila, Omar Navarro’s sister, who originally wanted to take her brother’s cartel business from him. Originally, her son (Javi) was supposed to be the face of the operation, but after his death, Camila ultimately had to make a move and have her brother killed in the process. Ironically, it seemed like Omar might’ve stood a better chance at survival had he stayed in the cartel, though with someone like Javi breathing down his neck, perhaps that’s just wishful thinking that he wouldn’t have died like that, as well. 

Ruth Was Murdered By Camila 

Ozark killed off a ton of notable characters during its run, but I’m not sure any of them hold a candle to the death of Ruth Langmore. Camila followed her back to her house with the new knowledge that she had killed Javi. Ruth admitted to Camila that she shot her son, and Camila shot her in the chest. Jason Bateman talked about the thought that went into Ruth’s death with Vanity Fair, and the amount of care taken by showrunner Chris Mundy:

Ruth’s death was a devastating moment for Ozark fans, but perhaps killing off the character was the smartest thing the series could’ve done. Imagine how many fans would’ve clamored for a spinoff centered around Ruth, otherwise (which would've certainly been awesome). Julia Garner definitely seems like an actress whose star is only rising, however, so who knows if she ever would’ve been available for such a thing, anyway. I hate to admit it, but perhaps the sad ending for Ruth was the best decision after all. 

Jonah Closed His Eyes And Shot At The Investigator And The Credits Rolled  

The final moments of Ozark showed that the Byrdes got their deal and amnesty, but not without cost. The family had to stand aside while Camila killed Ruth, and as if that weren’t enough, Mel returned after finally figuring out what happened to Ben. Mel, being the good detective that he is, finally worked out that the Byrdes stashed Ben’s ashes in the goat cookie jar he’d seen a handful of times. He realized that with this evidence, he could reliably prove the Byrdes had something to do with Ben's death, meaning they’d finally face legal repercussions. 

Of course, that was assuming Mel got to take that news to someone. Jonah appeared with a rifle and had it aimed at Mel. The teen closed his eyes, and the screen went black as a gunshot rang out. Ozark fans might think this was another Sopranos ending, but showrunner Chris Mundy assured EW that wasn’t what happened:

In short, fans can stop spinning theories about who Jonah might’ve shot. Mel was 100% the person shot, but his death just meant another problem the Byrdes had to clean up. I’m not sure that makes the ending any less polarizing for some, but at least it’s more clear, and explains Jason Bateman’s tease it was a somewhat happy ending for the family.

Ozark is now available to stream in its entirety over on Netflix. Now that it’s over, anyone looking for something new can certainly find it by checking out our 2022 Netflix TV schedule to see what else is worth checking out this year. 

Spoilers ahead for Part 2 of Ozark's final season.

Ozark has come to an end, as the streamer recently dropped the second half of the fourth and final season of the crime drama. While the journey has ended, could fans get a spinoff any time soon? Showrunner and executive producer Chris Mundy recently revealed the chances of a new series.

Chris Mundy discussed Ozark’s final season with TVLine, including the possibility of a spinoff series. For many shows that end, there are often still a few loose ends to tie up, even if the story didn't end on a cliffhanger. While there is no guarantee of an Ozark spinoff, Mundy opened up about the discussions for one:

With the way the show ended for the Byrde family, things may be settled between them. However, that doesn’t mean that there aren't still stories to tell. There are always possible storylines with a show like Ozark, and many fans would definitely be interested in another crime drama.

As for a possible storyline for the potential spinoff, Mundy confirmed that there are ways to "revisit" the series, even though a show with fan-favorite Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner) isn't possible (barring flashbacks) since she died in the series finale. The showrunner said:

That’s not to say that there can’t be a spinoff involving Ruth. Better Call Saul became a hit show in its own right as a prequel to Breaking Bad, so a Ruth-centric Ozark spinoff could be set in the past and perhaps dig deeper into her story and her origin. Such a spinoff could be worth watching for fans who have liked identifying with the Byrde family and miss seeing them in any form on screen.

The final season of Ozark was a long time coming. The first part, which premiered in January, came almost two full years after Season 3 dropped in March 2020. Season 4 has more episodes than the previous three and was split into two parts, with seven episodes each. While it’s always sad to see a beloved series come to an end, it’s always nice when it gets the proper goodbye and closure.

Even though Ozark did just recently drop the remaining episodes of the series, hopefully a spinoff gets the green light sooner rather than later for more stories. Netflix may seem more likely to cancel shows than give them spinoffs over the past year (with Bridgerton as a notable exception), but never say never when the showrunner hasn't ruled it out! 

In the meantime, stream all four seasons of Ozark now on Netflix. Be sure to check out the best shows on Netflix to also keep you occupied.

Ozark Season 4 Part 2 is almost here, and with its arrival comes the conclusion to the epic drama. Netflix subscribers will soon see the end of the Byrde family’s story, and given all the major deaths throughout the series, I’m assuming many are eager to see how things shake out for the main characters. For those unable to wait for the release, Jason Bateman recently unveiled how the finale will leave the family, and what kind of ending to expect for Marty and his kin. 

Jason Bateman recently appeared on The Tonight Show and explained the work that went into crafting the ending for Ozark. He also revealed what viewers can expect in terms of an ending for the family, and the conversation he had with showrunner Chris Mundy about the final episodes of the series. 

I definitely didn’t expect the Byrde family to get an ending that was happy by any stretch of the word, especially given all that’s happened to date. With that said, I honestly questioned whether or not the family may finally get out of this whole mess at all (especially after that trailer of the van flipping with them inside), so it’s good to hear that there is some silver lining in Jason Bateman’s quote. I’ll take a “limping” happy ending over a sad one, especially when I saw not even the seemingly immortal Darlene Snell was able to escape last season. 

The question I’m wondering now is whether or not things work out so well for Ruth Langmore. Jason Bateman only spoke to what was going on for the Byrde family. Ruth’s final scene in the latest Ozark episode was her swearing vengeance on Javi for killing her cousin Wyatt. 

Trying to take out Javi is dangerous enough on its own, but with the Byrdes reliant on Javi’s survival for their protection, they might have to make moves against Ruth as well. I’ve questioned if Marty and Wendy would actually kill Ruth if they needed to in the past. Ruth Langmore (played by the wonderful Julia Garner) is one of Ozark's best characters. If she's about to die in these final episodes, I personally would appreciate a heads up on that happening more than knowing things will be ok for the Byrde family.

Ozark Season 4 Part 2 releases on Netflix on Friday, April 29. After that, we can look ahead to May, and there’s plenty of upcoming thrilling originals to stream on the platform once Ozark is done, so be sure to read up on what’s around the corner. 

April showers bring May flowers, so it’s a good thing Netflix is giving subscribers new shows for all those potential rainy days ahead. As usual, there’s a lot of reasons to stay glued to the couch when it comes to Netflix’s offerings, including the finales of some real heavy hitters that have been around for years. 

Whether you’re spring cleaning or just searching for a show to binge until that allergy medication kicks in, there’s something for everyone this month. Let’s dive in and check out some sensational shows appearing on Netflix this April.

Get Organized With The Home Edit (Season 2) - 4/1

When Get Organized With The Home Edit Season 1 came out, my world was forever changed. The series, mixed with the at-home nature of the pandemic, resulted in a drastic reorganizing of our home and folding styles. Two years later, only some of those habits remain, so it’s a good thing that Season 2 is arriving with the possibility of teaching my family new tips to help get our house in tip-top shape once again. 

Trivia Quest - 4/1

Netflix announced its intention to get into the world of gaming a while back, and little by little, we’re seeing more games arrive for subscribers to play. This Trivia Quest has real potential, as anyone interested can tune in daily and answer questions related to history, art, and science, all with varying difficulty levels. Given the recent success of Wordle, I definitely see some potential in logging into Netflix to play a quiz game, especially with new quizzes that are uploaded daily. 

The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On - 4/6

With shows like Love Is Blind (which even has non-fans of dating shows obsessed) and Too Hot To Handle captivating subscribers, Netflix is quickly cornering the market of love-based reality programming. This month, we’ll get The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, which brings in long-term couples in which one is ready to get married. The other is not so sure, for various reasons. They’ll have eight weeks to decide what to do, which means they’ll either marry or move on. I like the premise and the drama that’s sure to come from it, so I’ll definitely be tuning in!

Anatomy Of A Scandal - 4/15

Based on the bestselling novel of the same name by author Sarah Vaughn, this series deals with sexual consent and a shocking scandal. Sienna Miller plays the wife of a politician accused of a shocking crime. The series will undoubtedly take audiences for a ride, and while I don’t always put stock in a series being good because it’s based on a book, I feel like there’s a good track record to trust it. We’ll see if that trend continues with this series!

Battle Kitty - 4/19

Netflix has another interactive series for families, and it’s centered around a warrior kitty ready to take on an island full of monsters. Why? In order to be champion, of course! If Netflix subscribers haven’t tried out some of the many interactive series on the platform by now, they’re missing out. The ones for kids are just as fun for parents to play through as they are for the kids, so this might be the perfect opportunity to give the experience a whirl and check out the other stuff available. 

Russian Doll (Season 2) - 4/20

It’s been almost three years since Season 1 of Russian Doll, so it’s understandable if people kind of forgot why they (and critics who gave it great reviews) loved it in the first place. Rest assured, though: the Natasha Lyonne-led series that featured the girl stuck in a Groundhog Day-like scenario at a party is back for Season 2. Now that Nadia and Alan escaped that, it appears there’s another whimsical adventure for the two. Now would be a great time to revisit the first season for anyone who didn’t catch it the first time around, or just for anyone who needs a rewatch given the big gap between seasons. 

Heartstopper - 4/22

Teens Charlie and Nick are friends, but is it possible they’re more than friends? Heartstopper is described as a coming-of-age teen tale that looks to navigate the ins and outs of young love. Based on the few details that are out there about this series, it seems to have a lot of heart. This definitely looks like it could end up being the feel-good show of the month, if not the year. 

Bullsh*t The Game Show - 4/27

Howie Mandel usually saves his competition TV show skills for his judging duties on America’s Got Talent, but now he has a new show on Netflix with a naughty name. Unlike other game shows like Wheel of Fortune, there’s no shame in giving a wrong answer. In fact, as long as a contestant can convince other opponents that they’re right, they can win big money whether they got the answer right or wrong. I like the concept, but we’ll have to wait and see if it is as entertaining to watch as it sounds. 

Grace And Frankie (Season 7) - 4/29

Grace and Frankie is entering its final season, and it's been a hell of a run. I can’t remember the last Netflix original that made it to seven seasons from start to finish on the platform, so this is truly an achievement. Now that the series is in the final episodes, fans will get a chance to say goodbye to the two women who forged a bond when their husbands fell in love with each other. 

Ozark (Season 4 Part 2) - 4/29

Ozark Season 4 Part 1 brought a lot to the table in terms of what the Byrdes need to do to escape all their obligations. The road to the finale will undoubtedly be rough, and there’s definitely reason to believe that someone important is going to die. It’s just a matter of who at this point, and I’m desperately hoping Ruth Langmore (played by the awesome Julia Garner) isn’t added to the list of dead Ozark characters, but we’ll just have to wait and see how things shake out at the end. 

Catch all these shows and more on Netflix in April. Now is as good a time as ever to get a Netflix subscription, even if the recent price hike is a bit of a bummer. 

April 2022 is bringing more than just showers and promises of flowers to the Netflix streaming lineup. Backing in a truck load of new surprises and old favorites, it’s a garden that’s truly going to grow for loyal subscribers. However, as fresh content like The Bubble and the long-awaited second season of Russian Doll arrive, fans also have to say goodbye to some of the best Netflix shows on the platform, with ending series such as Ozark and Grace and Frankie.

Before we go too far, feel free to refresh yourself with Netflix’s March 2022 schedule. March has been and still is a pretty amazing month for new content, and you don’t want to miss out on anything. That being said, April 2022 does have all three of Wesley Snipes' Blade movies, as well as Love Actually on its docket. So from this point on, it’s time to look a little bit into the future, and see what's in store for Netflix subscribers!

New On Netflix Available April 1: Blade Movies, Judd Apatow's The Bubble, Love Actually, And More

If you were left laughing hysterically by the trailer for Judd Apatow’s The Bubble, then you’ll be able to see the all-star cast that includes Karen Gillan, Pedro Pascal, and Keegan Michael-Key make their way through that very pandemic movie shoot. Though as far as blockbusters are concerned, all three Blade movies are here to keep Marvel fans entertained while waiting to see how the MCU will handle the Daywalker.

New On Netflix TBD April 2022

Here are the stragglers for the April 2022 Netflix schedule, which are awaiting specific debut dates on the calendar.

Hold Tight - NETFLIX SERIES
The Taming of The Shrew - NETFLIX FILM

Netflix subscribers have a lot to look forward to in the month to come. We didn't even go over everything above, as classics like Saving Private Ryan and hot new originals like The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On are also in play. Don't forget to check the schedule frequently, as all titles are subject to changes in availability. 

Netflix's hit original Ozark is one of Netflix's most popular shows, and also one of its more violent entries. The Jason Bateman-led series is not afraid to drop characters in pretty upsetting ways, even characters that fans thought were untouchable. Of course, after Season 3 it's kind of known no one is untouchable, though that doesn't make the major deaths of the season any less painful.

Because there have been so many deaths in Ozark, and they've all been fairly relevant to the story, it feels apt to recap all the major deaths of the series thus far. Starting with Season 1, here are all the major characters who have died, and how it went down. Obviously, major Ozark spoilers ahead (through Season 4 Part 1). 

Russ And Boyd Langmore (Season 1)

The Langmore brothers Russ and Boyd originally hatched a scheme with their niece Ruth to steal the Byrde's cartel cash stash for themselves. While Boyd didn't have much impact on the story overall, Russ' death has had a profound impact on Wyatt's arc in Ozark, and his secret sexual relationship with FBI agent Roy Petty impacted future events as well.

How Russ And Boyd Died On Ozark

When Ruth proved unreliable in her efforts to get Marty Byrde's cash location, Russ and Boyd decide to go over to the Blue Cat lodge and kill Marty and skip town. Ruth ends up turning on her uncles and, in a character-defining moment, rigged a dock to electrocute both men when they arrived at the Blue Cat Lodge.

Camino Del Rio (Season 1)

"Del" was the Byrde family's first handler when Marty first proposed the move to the Ozarks. He ultimately worked towards the interests of the Navarro cartel, and wasn't too concerned about doing whatever it took to ensure Marty delivered on his promise to launder drug money.

How Del Died On Ozark

After some trouble with the heroin-dealing Snell family, Del was brought to a negotiation that Marty believed would be mutually beneficial for both sides. Unfortunately for Del, he used the word "redneck" in front of the insane and easily irratated Darlene Snell who murdered the cartel cell leader without a second thought soon after. Del's death was covered up by the Byrdes and Snells, though inevitably the Snells had to kill their right hand Ash to repay the transgression.

Buddy Diker (Season 2)

Buddy was the Byrde family's terminally ill roommate when they moved to the Ozarks, and stayed with them until his death. Buddy came of use to the Byrdes on many occasions, most notably in connecting Marty to the Kansas City mafia and torching the Snell family's poppy fields.

How Buddy Died On Ozark

Despite Buddy's various perilous acts in Ozark, he ultimately died the way he believed he would. Buddy's "bum ticker" went out on him after he torched the Snells fields, which was probably for the best, considering what they would've done to him once they found out.

Roy Petty (Season 2)

Roy Petty was the first FBI agent charged with tracking the Byrde family as they carried out money laundering for the Navarro drug cartel. Petty sought to expose Marty and family's criminal activities, and resorted to whatever lengths it took in an effort to make that happen. As FBI characters later lament in Ozark, some of what he accomplished as head of the operation was outweighed by the numerous illegal activities he committed to achieve them.

How Roy Petty Died On Ozark

After trying to manipulate many who associated with the Byrde's, Roy Petty finally bit off more than he could chew with Cade Langmore. The FBI agent assumed his government status would allow him to mouth off to Cade without consequence, but instead it got him bludgeoned to death by Ruth's psychopathic father. Roy's death ultimately brought his ex FBI Agent Trevor onto the case.

Jacob Snell (Season 2)

The unofficial mayor of the area, Jacob Snell held dominion over the Missouri Ozarks with his heroin production business. With his wife Darlene at his side, the Snells entered an uneasy alliance with the Byrdes and the Navarro cartel. The deal was ultimately dissolved due to Darlene intentionally spiking their heroin supply, and it took a lot of doing on Jacob's part to prevent the Navarro cartel from killing her.

How Jacob Snell Died On Ozark

Jacob Snell ended up dying by Darlene's hand when his wife poisoned him with ground up cherry pits in his coffee. It was one of Ozark's most surprising deaths, made all the more surprising that the two still seemed very much in love and understanding of each other even after Jacob learned what Darlene had done.

Mason Young (Season 2)

A righteous preacher in Ozark Season 1, Mason Young learned the hard way what happens when rejecting an offer from dangerous people. His pregnant wife was brutally murdered by the Snells shortly after they delivered his son Zeke. The trauma from the event drove Mason from the Ozarks, only to become a homeless preacher on street corners.

How Mason Young Died On Ozark

Mason's son Zeke is taken by the state, which led him to blame the Byrdes for what happened. Mason kidnaps Wendy, and while Marty negotiated an impossible deal for Zeke to return to him, Mason was suspicious. His paranoia resulted in him trying to kill Marty and Wendy, which ultimately led Marty to accidentally shoot Mason through the neck. The Byrdes took custody of Zeke, but were forced to give custody to Darlene Snell later.

Cade Langmore (Season 2)

Ruth Langmore's father was mentioned in Ozark in Season 1, but didn't come into the story until Season 2. Ruth's father resented the father/daughter relationship Ruth had with Marty, and was generally a pain in everyone's side including Ruth.

How Cade Langmore Died On Ozark

Cade puts his hands on the Byrde's teenage daughter Charlotte, and that was just one step too far for Wendy. With the help of Helen Pierce, she orchestrated a hit on Cade, which resulted in him getting gunned down on his way out of The Ozarks. Ruth later learned Wendy had a hand in her father's death, and resented Wendy for not taking the same steps when she was almost killed by Frank Jr.

Ben Davis (Season 3)

Wendy Byrde's wild brother came in like a firecracker in Season 3 of Ozark, and it was obvious to many fans he wasn't long for the world. Ben said what was on his mind, which we all know is never good when there are paranoid cartel associates on just about every block in town.

How Ben Davis Died On Ozark

After being put in a state hospital to treat his bipolar disorder following an arrest, Ben was sprung from the facility by Ruth with the help of Darlene Snell. An unhinged Ben then went to Helen Pierce and revealed what she really did for a living to her teenage daughter. The Byrdes tried to protect Ben as best they could from the murderous Helen, but Wendy inevitably gave up his location to Helen's hitman Nelson when she realized he could endanger the entire family.

Helen Pierce (Season 3)

Once Del was gone, Helen Pierce stepped into the picture to be the effective point man for the interests of the Navarro Drug Cartel. Eventually, Helen entered more of a collaborative partnership with the Byrdes and was a part of the seemingly impossible casino deal that went through.

How Helen Pierce Died On Ozark

After she got her way and killed Ben, Helen began making moves in an effort to remove the Byrdes from the Navarro operation permanently. Unfortunately for her, Wendy's sacrifice of Ben mixed with Marty's promise to get the FBI to take down his rival made the Byrdes indispensable, and Helen not so much. She was killed shortly after she arrived at Omar Navarro's compound with Marty and Wendy, much to the surprise of the Byrdes.

Sheriff Nix (Season 4, Part 1)

Darlene Snell’s hold in the Ozarks was partly rooted in fear, though she also had the law on her side. With Sheriff Nix in her pocket, Darlene was able to avoid trouble with law enforcement, as well as occasionally use him as muscle in order to make life difficult for the Byrdes and others through legal means. 

How Sheriff Nix Died On Ozark

The Byrdes managed to minimize Nix’s impact on their lives in Season 4, but that wasn’t enough for their new partner Javi Elizonndro. Javi had a chance encounter with the sheriff when Nix visited Helen Pierce’s estate, and killed him without a second thought. 

Frank Cosgrove Sr. (Season 4, Part 1)

Frank Cosgrove Sr. came into Ozark as the head of the Kansas City mob, and quite a tough customer. Buddy, who knew Frank from his past, gave Marty an introduction, and he’s been in and out of the story ever since both as a friend and foe. 

How Frank Died On Ozark

The Kansas City mob wasn’t much of a factor in the first half of Ozark Season 4, and with good reason. Darlene owed Frank Cosgrove Sr. a good deal of money, and because of that, they had no working relationship. Frank Sr. eventually got impatient and confronted Darlene Snell in her home, hoping to intimidate her into paying out her money. Darlene walked into the kitchen, and reappeared with a loaded shotgun and killed Frank before he even had a chance to react. It wasn’t a huge surprise to fans, though obviously Frank Sr. never saw it coming. 

Darlene Snell (Season 4, Part 1)

Darlene Snell started off as the wild card wife behind the otherwise level-headed Jacob Snell, and then she killed him. Darlene then became a drug kingpin in the Ozarks, and not a very reasonable one at that. Darlene gave the Byrdes plenty to worry about throughout the series, even in the times where their interests aligned. 

How Darlene Snell Died On Ozark

Who would’ve guessed Darlene Snell would die before the final batch of episodes? The murderous drug lord met her end when Javi arrived, hoping to eliminate all Navarro competition in the Ozark area. Darlene, like many this season, didn’t even have a chance to react. The bullet was in her gut before she even saw it coming. It seemed possible she might’ve survived due to the placement of the injury, though Ruth’s arrival to the house later suggested Darlene did indeed die. 

Wyatt Langmore (Season 4, Part 1)

Ruth Langmore’s cousin was known as the brains of the family, and throughout the series, went a couple of different directions. Perhaps the most surprising twist came for Wyatt in Season 3, when Darlene Snell took him in as a lover. The two formed a real romance despite their age difference, and co-parented the little baby Zeke. 

How Wyatt Langmore Died On Ozark

Wyatt Langmore wasn’t involved in any of Darlene’s antics really, but Javi couldn’t leave any loose ends. Therefore, Darlene’s husband and Ruth’s cousin took a bullet right between the eyes, and Javi walked out without another word. Unfortunately for Javi, that might’ve been a mistake as now Ruth Langmore is on a warpath to take him out.

Ozark returned to Netflix for the first part of Season 4 in January, and picked up the Byrde family’s story after that disturbing Season 3 cliffhanger. Season 4 gave its fans a lot of answers about where things are going so far, but with more episodes to come later in 2022 with Season 4, Part 2, there are still things to be answered before the finale. 

There are a lot of big questions following the first half of Season 4, especially given that the situation has changed almost completely from what it’s been in Seasons 1 through 3. Let’s break down some of the major moments towards the end of the season and the questions we’re asking ahead of Season 4, Part 2. 

Will Marty And Wendy Actually Kill Ruth? 

Just when it seemed the Byrde family had finally found a way out of the business, Ruth Langmore (played by the amazing Julia Garner) showed up and put the whole thing in jeopardy. Ruth was distraught after she found out her cousin Wyatt was murdered (along with Darlene Snell) and had a feeling the Byrde family knew who killed her family. Her instincts were on point, and while Wendy tried to play coy, the rebellious Jonah decided to spill the beans and reveal the killer was likely Javi Elizonndro, Omar Navarro’s nephew. 

Marty and Wendy begged Ruth not to make a move against Javi, and for good reason. Javi is a key piece in the deal the Byrdes made with the FBI, which ensures Omar Navarro gets out of prison in a couple of short years. If Javi dies, the deal is off, and Navarro already promised he’d kill Marty and Wendy if he’s stuck in prison. There’s also no guarantee the FBI wouldn’t prosecute the Byrdes and remove their immunity, so the stakes are high. If there’s any chance of Ruth killing Javi, I’d have to think the Ozark couple came too far to let one person get in the way of their freedom. Ruth did say they’d have to kill her to stop her, which felt like some grim foreshadowing. 

Are Marty And Wendy Going To Stay Together? 

A lot of Ozark Season 4 rehashed Marty and Wendy’s relationship, and for those that don’t remember, it wasn’t that great. Wendy cheated on Marty before their move from Chicago, and throughout most of the series, the two are on completely different wavelengths. Season 4 seemed to be particularly bad thus far, as Marty looked flat-out astonished at some of the moves Wendy made against others and even their own son Jonah. It all culminated in a scene in which the two seemed to make a promise they’d be apart once they were officially in the clear, but will that actually hold? 

Not even an episode later, Marty and Wendy had a quiet moment in the bedroom where they said they loved each other. Was the promise to split just the result of stress and a bad argument between the two? I’m not so sure that’s the case and think there are about a dozen more things that can happen before the Netflix series ends that results in the two splitting. Of course, I’m also assuming the two will survive the series to officially dissolve their marriage, which doesn’t seem guaranteed at all.

Are The Byrdes Really Done With The FBI? 

Omar Navarro didn’t trust the FBI, and ultimately, he was right not to. The organization abandoned its deal with the drug lord the moment it seemed they wouldn’t benefit from it, though Wendy was ultimately able to bring them back to the table. As far as the FBI is concerned, the Byrde family is free to live their lives, but if they found out Javi is out and about killing people in America, it’s hard to imagine they’d let that continue for too long. The Byrde family may be called upon to bring Javi in or do some other sort of favor for the FBI. 

With that said, the Byrdes really only had a relationship with Agent Maya, who ultimately betrayed the FBI by using local police forces to bring Omar Navarro to justice. It might be the Byrdes don’t hear from the FBI at all. Maya, on the other hand, will almost certainly have to face some sort of repercussions, and not just from the FBI. I can imagine Navarro isn’t happy about spending time in jail, period, and he could make a move against Maya as retaliation for her going rogue and getting him arrested anyway. 

When Did The Car Flip Happen? 

Ozark Season 4 opened up with the Byrdes in what looks to be a serious car accident, and it wasn’t clear if anyone was ok or not. Unfortunately for curious minds, the scene (which is presumably a flash-forward) never showed again throughout the rest of Season 4, Part 1. So, when exactly does this car accident happen, and what does it mean for the family? 

Knowing when the crash happened is important, mainly because it could reveal what happens to the Byrde family. Say this is the final scene of the series, then it’s possible the family went through all that just to die in an unfortunate car accident when they seemed to be in the clear. There’s also a possibility the family was intentionally driven off the road, and there’s more to come after that moment, though nothing right now seems like it was anything more than a random accident. We’ll just have to see!

Will The Byrde Family Survive The End Of The Series?

A lot of people have died in Ozark, but somehow, the Byrde family is still alive. That’s pretty impressive considering all the targets they have on their backs, but I think that run of luck will catch up with them before the series is up. I feel like at least one person in this family will die before the season is up, assuming they don’t all die in that flash-forward car accident. 

Right now, my major pick to die is Charlotte. Javi seems to have a weird obsession with the Byrde’s daughter, and he’s already shown he’s not the most stable person around. I could also see Wendy ending up in the crosshairs of some powerful people, especially since she doesn’t seem content to let go of her power even if the family is free from harm. Really, though, everyone is fair game this season for all the things they’ve been a part of, and just like the trailer said, no one gets out clean. 

Ozark Season 4 Part 2 will arrive on Netflix sometime before the end of 2022. It’s just one of many Netflix shows worth checking out, so why not hop on sometime soon and see what’s available?

In the last few years, a new actress has blown up that everyone should be talking about, and that is Julia Garner. Most probably know her from her huge role in the popular Netflix series, Ozark, for which she won a Primetime Emmy Award. However, there are many other awesome roles from Julia Garner, from her time on other awesome Netflix shows and independent films that really show off her acting ability. 

If you’re looking for the best Julia Garner movies and TV shows that you could watch right now, here are our picks, and how you can stream (or rent) them today. 

The Americans (Amazon Prime)

If you’re looking for a thrilling FX drama, check out The Americans. This popular show, which ran for six seasons, follows two Soviet spies who are sent undercover in America during the 1960s, eventually having two American-born children. However, their lives begin to take a turn two decades later.

Julia Garner portrayed Kimberly Breland for ten episodes of the series, from Season 3 to Season 6, and while she didn’t appear in the show as much as others, her part as Kimberly is memorable for her stellar performance and the interesting story of her character. It’s crazy how this was one of her first TV roles, and now she’s huge because of another television show. The Americans itself is definitely one of the best FX dramas to watch, so be sure to check it out as soon as you can. 

Stream The Americans on Amazon.

The Assistant (Hulu)

You’ll be happy to be working from home after watching this film. The Assistant, starring Julia Garner, tells the story of a young woman who works for a powerful man as his assistant, and the grueling tasks she faces every day. As she starts to grow in her job, she becomes more aware of the horribleness at the company. 

Julia Garner stars in this drama, and honestly, it’s one of the most real and raw films I’ve seen in a long time. Garner shines in her starring role, showing the craziness of what happens when someone works as a personal assistant, and providing a performance that should have gotten her more hype. It’s truly such a great film and I wish it had gotten more praise than it received.  

Stream The Assistant on Hulu.
Rent The Assistant on Amazon.

I Believe In Unicorns (Amazon Prime)

A bit of an older one on this list, but still a good one. I Believe in Unicorns is an independent movie that tells the honest truth about what young love can do to someone, and how it affects the state of mind of a person who wants to get away from the rest of the world. 

Julia Garner played Cassidy, the best friend of Davina (played by the talented Natalia Dyer in one of her first roles), and while her part was smaller than some of the others on this list, it was still memorable, as her scenes with Dyer were filled with chemistry and a pure loving friendship that’ll probably make you want to call your best friend at the end of the movie. My only suggestion would be to go into this with an open mind - some parts drag a bit, but I think it’s worth it in the end. 

Stream I Believe in Unicorns on Amazon Prime.
Rent I Believe in Unicorns on Apple TV.

Maniac (Netflix)

If you’re looking for a great miniseries, check out Maniac on Netflix. This psychological series tells the story of two strangers who meet each other through a series of strange experiments, but together they find a way out of the maze of confusion. 

Maniac already had a star-studded cast, with the likes of Emma Stone, Jonah Hill and more among its cast, but Julia Garner also had a pretty major role as Ellie Landsberg, the deceased younger sister of Stone’s character, Annie. Emotional moments between the two of them further pushed Annie’s storyline along, and Ellie was given so much character thanks to Garner’s great performance. My personal favorite scene between them was when they were elves - which is even funnier knowing Stone hated dressing as an elf. 

Stream Maniac on Netflix.

Everything Beautiful Is Far Away (Amazon Prime)

Another great independent film on this list, Everything Beautiful is Far Away tells the story of an unlikely pair of humans who are both in the desert searching for something different. So, they decide to team up and look for what they’re searching for together, creating an intense, sci-fi/fantasy experience. 

Julia Garner leads in this small movie, playing Rola opposite Joseph Cross as Lernert. Because of the small cast, the actors are given more time to truly show their acting talent and how far they’re willing to go, and Garner does exactly that with her portrayal of Rola in the film. The movie can sometimes be a little trippy, but for fans of sci-fi and fantasy, I think you’ll enjoy this. 

Stream Everything Beautiful is Far Away on Amazon Prime.
Rent Everything Beautiful is Far Away on Apple TV.

Waco (Amazon Rental)

Ready for another miniseries? Waco is based on the true story of David Koresh's 51-day stand against federal agents in Waco, Texas back in 1993, with his religious cult, The Brand Davidians, what they did, and how it started this intense standoff. 

Julia Garner portrayed Michelle Jones for the duration of the miniseries’ six episodes, and she again shows off her ability as an actor to not only perform extremely well in period pieces, but overall in a series that talks about such a serious event. What makes this show even more interesting was that real-life standoff survivor David Thibodeau was heavily involved in making the series. While it has its ups and downs, I think it’s worth the time to binge. 

Rent Waco on Amazon.

Tomato Red: Blood Money (Tubi)

Crime films are some of my favorite movies, as they always provide an excellent amount of suspense, and Tomato Red fits that perfectly. This film tells the story of a drifter going from town to town just looking for his next meal and maybe a place to stay. But soon, he hits the jackpot when he meets Jamalee Merridew, a young woman who wants to make it big in the world, and needs his help. 

Let me tell you, I adore Julie Garner in this movie. I feel like no one ever talks about her other roles because truly, she is at her best here. Maybe it’s the fact that the red hair suits her, I’m not sure, but her acting as Jamalee still makes me smile any time I seen this movie. I want to see her in more crime movies because she really fits that genre perfectly. 

Stream Tomato Red on Tubi.
Rent Tomato Red on Amazon.

Modern Love (Amazon Prime)

If you’re looking for a great Amazon Prime original, check out Modern Love. This anthology series, which has been going on for two seasons now, explores what love really is, whether it be romantic, platonic, familial, or any other kinds of love you can think of, following several different storylines that show how love affects relationships. 

Modern Love signed a bunch of well-known actors for Season 1, and Garner was one of them. She portrays Maddy in the sixth episode of the first season - and hear me out. Yes, I know that her episode is a tad bit creepy. But the issue that is tackled in this episode is something that is talked about, and if we’re being honest, we’re here for Julia Garner’s acting skills more than the storylines. And, regardless of the story, Garner is freaking awesome with her performance in this episode. 

Stream Modern Love on Amazon Prime.

Grandma (Amazon Rental)

Okay, moving away from interestingly weird romances, we take a look at a hilarious comedy-drama starring Julia Garner and the legend herself, Lily Tomlin. Grandma is all about these two, a grandmother and her granddaughter, who go on an adventure to raise money in order for her granddaughter to get an abortion. 

This movie is so ridiculously funny and yet perfectly dramatic in all the right ways. I swear, I’d give anything to see Lily Tomlin and Julia Garner in these roles again, because they really do work so well together. Not only is the grandma-granddaughter relationship fantastic, but the acting from the both of them is what takes the cake, creating a memorable story that speaks about the lengths we will go to in order for our family to be happy. I could watch this movie over and over again and never get tired of it. 

Rent Grandma on Amazon.

Ozark (Netflix)

It’s what you’re here for, isn’t it? Ozark stars Jason Batman as a financial advisor, who gets roped into a Mexican drug cartel when a money laundering scheme goes horribly wrong. Soon, his whole life changes as his family gets dragged into the operation, as well. 

Julia Garner became a big star because of Ozark, due to her wonderful acting as Ruth, and her award wins and nominations because of this show are well deserved. The entire Ozark cast is so talented, but to be honest, Garner takes the cake as the best character on the show. If you’ve already seen all of Ozark and want to find a new show to watch, check out some of these similar shows. 

Stream Ozark on Netflix.

With how much her fame has grown over the last several years, I’m glad to see Julia Garner finally getting the recognition she deserves. I’m even more excited for her starring role in the upcoming TV series, Inventing Anna, which we already know several quick things about, and will be popping up on the 2022 Netflix TV schedule. Now you have a new list of awesome Julia Garner shows and movies to watch.  

Netflix dropped a new trailer for Part One of Ozark’s fourth and final season, and it contains something I never thought I’d see in this series. Marty Byrde and his family might actually have a way out of their money-laundering operation for the Navarro cartel, and that exit comes from the most unlikely of places. 

Ozark Season 4 will give Marty the freedom he’s sought for his family, and it’s seemingly all thanks to Omar Navarro? In this tense trailer, Navarro tells Marty that he’s willing to turn himself in to the FBI but that he has certain demands. If Marty and Wendy can use their influence to help him, he’ll free their family of all their obligations to the drug cartel. Check out the offer in the trailer and see how it all may go sideways:

Marty, Wendy, Charlotte, and Jonah have a way out of trouble, at least with the cartel. Maya Miller didn’t seem too confident the FBI was willing to give Omar Navarro the deal he’d want, though we see her on a plane across from him later in the trailer. Plus, Omar cutting a deal doesn’t necessarily mean Marty and Wendy don’t answer for their various crimes, assuming the FBI has definitive evidence of their involvement. Remember, Marty’s very good at covering up the laundering, so it’s possible they’re safe in that regard. 

I want to believe that Ozark Season 4 will finally see the Byrdes out on top, but I just know that would be too good to be true. Sure enough, Darlene Snell is already unwilling to play ball and won’t cease her heroin operation even with a direct threat from the cartel. That’s not too off-brand for Darlene, but what’s surprising is how calm Ruth seems about her new boss brazenly brushing off the threat. Ruth is well-aware of what the cartel is capable of and is smart enough to know not to mess with them. Is she just too blinded by her hatred of Marty to clearly think through the situation? 

Ozark's latest Season 4 trailer features the phrase “No one gets out clean,” which should be a big clue that things won’t go according to plan. I guess fans can also assume that by the fact that the trailer directly described how the Byrdes could get out of this situation, which seems like a big clue the plan won’t work. Regardless of how that shakes out, I know I’m pulling for a happy ending for at least Charlotte and Jonah. They shouldn’t have to die because of their parents' actions, and while I still like Marty and Wendy, it’s hard to argue they didn’t have it coming. 

Other notable moments from the trailer include missing person signs for Wendy’s brother Ben and the revelation that Jonah is laundering money. It’s probably not a great idea for Jonah to further embed himself in criminal activities at this stage in the series, but hey, it’s on-brand for rebellious teens. Let’s just hope that his potential ties with Ruth don’t also get him entangled in any response the Navarro cartel takes against Darlene Snell.

The first part of Ozark Season 4 streams on Netflix beginning Friday, January 21. I can’t wait to see how this adventure ends and whether or not the Byrdes will actually get out of this mess with their lives. 

Despite facing stiff competition from the growing number of streaming services currently available, Netflix remains to be one of the best platforms around with a massive collection of original shows. It looks like that trend will continue on into 2022 with a variety of shows that stands toe-to-toe with anything the brand has put on in the past few years.

If you want to know about all the Netflix TV show premiere dates for both new and returning shows throughout 2022, then you have come to the right place. Below will you find all those series and when they are set to kick off. But please note, all release times are at 3:01 a.m. ET (12:01 a.m. PT), and all new series are listed in ALL CAPS.

SNACK VS. CHEF

This is currently everything we know about the 2022 Netflix TV show premiere dates. If you are looking for even more action on the small screen, check out CinemaBlend’s 2022 TV schedule for all the new and returning shows coming out.

It’s time to ring in the New Year, Netflix subscribers! Although, looking at the list of incoming titles, you may be asking yourself just what year it happens to be. January 2022 promises the return of some fan-favorite shows, but moreso a slew of classics.  This includes the likes of Interview With A Vampire, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, The Lost Boys, Gremlins and even an Adam Sandler classic. 

Ahead of the list, should you want to revisit December 2021’s Netflix lineup, we have you covered. Otherwise, you don’t have to wait until midnight, or even December 31st, to see what’s headed online in January 2022! Here’s to the next year, and all of these titles that will help kick it off. 

New On Netflix Available January 1: The Wedding Singer, Interview With The Vampire And True Grit

Right at the top, there are already a ton of catalog titles awaiting viewers who want to spend New Year’s Day with something cozy and familiar. Fun (and cheesy) crowd-pleasers like 1998’s Godzilla reboot are available, just in case you don’t want to think too hard after when the partying has ended. Or, in tribute to the late Anne Rice, you could relive Tom Cruise’s impressive turn in Interview with the Vampire. Hawkeye fans can get some more Hailee Steinfeld excitement onto their screens, as the Coen Bros’ remake of True Grit is coming online not too long after the Disney+ series airs its highly-awaited season finale. And Adam Sandler fans should have plenty coming in 2022, but that kicks off with The Wedding Singer, here.

New On Netflix The Week Of January 24: Kristen Bell's Lengthily-Titled The Woman In The House Across the Street From The Girl In The Window

Sports are running pretty strong this week, as the documentary Neymar: The Perfect Chaos and the Kevin James starring biopic Home Team both take the field. Though get ready for possibly the most ridiculous title to enter the Netflix canon, as Kristen Bell’s The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window is going to be quite a mouthful to recommend to friends and family, though the long title has made it buzzy so far. It also happens to be a comedy, in case that wasn’t abundantly clear.

Netflix’s incoming debuts for January 2022 aren’t finished just yet. Here’s a handful of titles that’ll debut throughout the month, with release dates waiting to be secured!

All of Us Are Dead - NETFLIX SERIES
I Am Georgina - NETFLIX SERIES
Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein - NETFLIX SERIES

There’s so much to look forward to on Netflix in January 2022, and we didn’t even highlight everything! The original 1982 film version of Annie will be available to please fans of NBC’s recent live musical retake; and your inner warrior will be pleased if you choose to double feature 300 and Braveheart. Just remember, warriors can cry too, so be sure to check back with this schedule, to be certain that the title you’re looking for hasn’t shifted due to change or availability. Until next time, have a happy and safe New Year, and stream responsibly! 

The summer months used to be one of the slowest periods of time in the world of TV, but with a myriad of streaming services abandoning the traditional model of premiering their shows exclusively in the fall and spring months, the Summer 2021 TV schedule is absolutely stacked. Over the the course of the next three months (May, June, July), subscribers to services like Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, and multiple others will see countless shows (both new and returning) land on their streamer of choice with the likes of Loki, Selena: The Series Season 2, and Stephen King’s Lisey’s Story all landing throughout the season.

But this doesn’t mean it is all quiet on the traditional TV front as The CW will see the long-awaited return of D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow, the summer premiere of Riverdale, and more throughout the summer. And then you have all of the exciting competition shows, docuseries, and specials that populate the TV listings at the year’s midpoint. Below is a breakdown of all the shows coming to your TV and streaming devices this year.

Please note, this schedule can and will change over the course of the following months, so make sure to bookmark and check back for the most up-to-date information. (The times below are all Eastern Standard Time, and brand new programs are noted in all caps.)

May 2021
