Ozark Review (spoiler for Season 2: Episode 3)

One of my guilty pleasures (along with many Netflix subscribers) is watching some of their new content.  One show that started off fantastic was Ozark. 



The premise of the show is a financial planner, played by Jason Bateman, that gets entangled with a drug cartel. He has a wife and two kids and they all need to move to the Ozarks to stay alive.

While there he needs to embezzle $8 million for the drug cartel.

Season 1 is fun and I would recommend it.

I can't proceed past season two.

SPOILER ALERT in case you want to continue.

Halfway through Season 2 Episode 3 Bateman's kids in the show, a 15 year old daughter and 13 year old son, are able to dupe a bank into a $5,000 loan. They were able to do this without any parents around. The boy walked into a bank, showed the paperwork to the loan officer and got the loan.  The story he told was his mom was running errands and could only be reached by phone. He called his mom (sister on the other line) and they allowed the loan.

WTF? How stupid is that bank teller? Apparently there are only a handful of intelligent people in this show and they all break the law in one form or another. The rest of the town must be stupid, that's the only way they could allow this to happen.

I know, it's a show and I should be able to see past that but I can't. The entire town in the show must be delayed to allow two teenagers get a loan.

I've given up on the show and I'm moving on to something else.

Been another long while

It's been a long while since I've done any blogging. Admittedly I've been distracted doing other things.

I know what I write here doesn't matter to most people (as the title of my blog implies). This is more for me than anyone. 

That being said I'll write my unsolicited opinions about things here. As with most bloggers, I write what I think. Difference is I'm no professional, not even close to it. 

Oh well. Maybe I'll start doing it more frequently again, we'll see.

It's with heavy heart I type these words. Here's my story (I know nobody asked, but I'm not sleeping and I have a computer, so w...
