Goooood morning!

Jumping right into we're discussing the hit Netflix series Ozark. It's been compared to Breaking Bad, which is arguably the greatest TV series ever, but is it really as good? That said, we jumped into a conversation about it with freelance writer Alex Bracetti. You may have seen his work on AskMen.com, which includes a portfolio of hits such as "Best Tequilas To Drink" and "A Man's Guide To Drinking Rosé". He's also one of the co-hosts behind The DPad Experience, a video game and pop culture podcast. On top of dissecting Ozark, we also show respect to the HBO series Oz, which is arguably the reason we even have Ozark in the first place.
