The Swedish limited series, Anxious People, is comedy that I believe fans of the Coen Brothers will find to their taste.

Ozark.

It is simply the best show on television, bar none.

Season four is outstanding, even if it requires some stretches of belief.   Watching episode 7 tonight.  Hope they don't wait too long to stream the second half of the season.   Wondering if Ruth can somehow get away from there.

Resident Alien is hilarious, well done comedy in the Fish out of Water genre.  Alan Tudyk is wondrous weird and funny.

OMG!

Ruth! What will she do now?

Navarro, "I would never go after your children, Wendy."  Hard to believe that one. He would at least let her think that he would.

We're really down the rabbit hole, what with the insane deals the FBI is making, Javi going full Darlene on Darlene and Wyatt, Ruth unleashed as a Force of Nature (no idea what she's going to do but this is about kinfolk so I expect something drastic), and then the question mark the season opens with where the Byrdes roll over on the highway.

I think the beginning of this season is how it ends.

Decided to go that direction, eh?  Then I should point out the central characters are the Byrde family, and we now wonder if they'll fly the coop.  We await with Bateman-d breath for the second half.

You think the FBI will flip the Byrdes?

I feel Wendy has to perish in some way.  Like Darlene, she requires some karmic settlement.  Maybe the kids survive, there is some hope for them.  I could see some sort of deathbed reconcilement between Jonah and Wendy, so that he can maybe finish growing up.   Otherwise, Jonah will stay trapped (cough) in the belly of the beast that is Ozark.

Wendy is as much a sociopath as Javi.
So, yeah, she needs to meet a dark fate. I think we are going to learn more about Wendy and Marty's marriage, from Marty's POV, prior to their Ozark odyssey. They hinted at it. Knowing more about their relationship would help flesh out the narrative's conclusion.

Showtime's "We Need to Talk About Bill Cosby" is a 4-part series that explores Cosby in surprisingly varied ways, and ultimately comes to what I call the correct conclusions regarding his legacy.

Worth your time.

Even for racists like Little Stevie in AZ.

Even if you dont like hoops the HBO show on the LA Lakers of the 70s/8s+ is great viewing.  Very well acted. John C Reilly as Dr Jerry Buss - and good to see Gabby Hoffman again.
