The series features an ace cast including Laura Linney, Jason Bateman, Julia Garner, Janet McTeer, and Joseph Sikara in the story of a city family who heads to the Ozarks and gets mixed up in the world of money-laundering.Season 3 manages to maintain the level of tension this show is known for while adding a layer of emotional stakes in the form of Marty and Wendy’s fractured relationship. Get wrapped up in the cavalcade of complications that ensue, especially as the season reaches its explosive final episodes.

This epic Netflix documentary offers a visual banquet, but it doesn’t sugarcoat the effects of humans on the planet. The breathtaking, multimillion-dollar nature show narrated by David Attenborough and filmed by more than 600 crew members over four years in 50 countries is probably just the reminder we need of our fragile relationship with our planet.
