There are very few titles on Netflix to match the perfection of Ozark. It is one of those shows that makes one dive deep into the narration and storyline, to get in touch with each of the characters personally. However, the crime thriller could have never felt complete had it not had stars like Jason Bateman and Julia Garner, who stole the stage with their brilliant performances every season.

Although the show left many of its fans a few months back, it will stay with us for eternity. The series took the No. 1 spot in Nielsen’s newly released Top 10 rankings. The first part of season 4 of Ozark was watched for 2.6 billion minutes between April 25 and May 1. And it is one of the most watched Netflix shows of all time, with season four having a viewership time of 491.1 million hours. However, Jason Bateman is not just dominating Netflix anymore, he is topping the charts on another media platform.
