Ozark season 4: What to watch when you've finished the Netflix show
Just because Ozark is ending doesn't mean you have to turn the TV off
If you’re a fan of Ozark like we are, chances are you’ve already binged seasons one to four, and parts one and two of the last season. Many of us have been left wondering how we’re going to fill the void in our lives, seeing as the drug cartel drama was basically our favourite show to watch on repeat.
But not to worry, because we’ve scoured the depths of Netflix, HBO, NOW, and every other streaming service you can possibly think of to bring you some shows that will fill the Ozark shaped hole in your heart. Here are 15 shows like Ozark to add to your 'must-watch list.' So, Ruth Langmore who?
Narcos
IMDb says: A chronicled look at the criminal exploits of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, as well as the many other drug kingpins who plagued the country through the years.
We say: A dramatisation of the life and escapades of the real drug kingpin in the late 1980s, expect violence, drama and quite a bit of chaos. The good news is if you like it, there are three series to get through on Netflix.
The Sinner
IMDb says: Anthology series that examines how and why ordinary people commit brutal crimes.
We say: It’s been over a year and a half since we last saw Detective Harry Ambrose unravel a case, so season 4 couldn’t come any quicker. Fans are also calling it the best series yet, and one viewer even wrote that the series is “ageing like fine wine.” We’re already obsessed.
Bloodline
IMDb says: A family finds themselves forced to face their past secrets and scars when the black sheep returns home.
We say: If you’re one for getting invested in characters - like really invested - you need to watch Bloodline.
The Outsider
IMDb says: Investigators are confounded over an unspeakable crime that's been committed.
We say: Steven King fans, this one’s for you. Based on the King novel of the same name The Outsider won the Primetime Emmy Award back in 2020, and is as tense as it gets.
Mindhunter
IMDb says: Set in the late 1970s, two FBI agents are tasked with interviewing serial killers to solve open cases.
We say: There are so many things to love about this sinister and fascinating Netflix thriller series. It's binge-able, eerie and has a totally tense subplot. One thing we don't love? It was seemingly abandoned after series 2, much to the anger of its huge fanbase.
Dead to Me
IMDb says: A series about a powerful friendship that blossoms between a tightly wound widow and a free spirit with a shocking secret.
We say: Two badass women, lots of wine, and some pretty hilarious and tear-jerking moments, what’s not to love? And if you’re into a sort of 21st-century Thelma and Louise type of vibe, this one’s for you.
Stay Close
IMDb says: The lives of a photojournalist, a soccer mom and a homicide detective are disturbed by a terrible event from the past.
We say: Stay Close is literally designed to be binged, and it features a bunch of household names who are really watchable.
Unbelievable
IMDb says: A teenager is charged with lying about having been raped, but two detectives follow the path to the truth.
We say: This series is based on true events, and follows an 18-year-old woman who reported being raped by a masked intruder in her home, only to be charged by detectives who accused her of lying. It's a harrowing watch, but an important one.
Breaking Bad
IMDb says: A high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine in order to secure his family's future.
We say: OK, you've probably already seen the multiple Emmy winning series, but if you've not caught up with all 62 episodes, now's the time for a good old binge.
The Americans
IMDb says: At the height of the Cold War two Russian agents pose as your average American couple, complete with family.
We say: Set during the Cold War, The Americans, ran for six critically acclaimed seasons. It's about two Russian spies posing as a typical American couple, and it's giving us Mr. & Mrs. Smith vibes.
Snowfall
IMDb says: A look at the early days of the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles during the beginning of the 1980s.
We say: Season 5 of the American crime drama is airing next month, which gives you just enough time to watch the last 4 series, and luckily they're all on iPlayer.
Queen of the South
IMDb says: Teresa flees Mexico after her drug-runner boyfriend is murdered. Settling in Dallas she looks to become the country's reigning drug smuggler and to avenge her lover's murder.
We say: If you like the ruthlessness of Ozark's characters you'll love Queen of the South's Teresa.
The Mosquito Coast
IMDb says: Follows the dangerous journey of a radical idealist and brilliant inventor, Allie Fox, who uproots his family for Mexico when they suddenly find themselves on the run from the US government.
We say: This series is based on the novel of the same name, written by Justin Theroux's uncle. It's often compared to Ozark because of all the very sinister villains. Count us in.
El Chapo
IMDb says: A look at the life of notorious drug kingpin, El Chapo, from his early days in the 1980s working for the Guadalajara Cartel, to his rise to power during the '90s as the head of the Sinaloa Cartel and his ultimate downfall in 2016.
We say: Another drug cartel based dramatisation, this time telling the story of El Chapo. From humble beginnings to top of his game, facing enemies along the way.
Better Call Saul
IMDb says: The trials and tribulations of criminal lawyer Jimmy McGill in the time before he established his strip-mall law office in Albuquerque, New Mexico as Saul Goodman.
We say: This Breaking Bad spin-off / prequel is about an ex-con artist turned small-time attorney, with all six series available on Netflix.
