Ozark
Jason Bateman plays a father from Chicago with a seemingly normal accounting job who is also the top money launderer for the second largest drug cartel in Mexico. After an attempt gone wrong, he moves his family to the Missouri Ozarks in a $500 million money laundering mission to please a druglord.

A wealthy family is dramatically uprooted from their lavish lifestyle, and all they have left is a tiny town they purchased as a joke: Schitt’s Creek. As they navigate their new, not-so-glamorous life, they find themselves in humorous situations with the town’s cast of characters.
