11 Shows to Watch After Finishing Ozark’s Final Season

Saying goodbye to Ozark after four thrilling seasons won’t be easy. (Just ask Ruth Langmore herself, Julia Garner.) But it’s possible to fill that Ozark-shaped hole in your heart with other TV shows that are similar to the Jason Bateman-led Netflix series about a financial advisor who finds himself laundering money for a Mexican drug cartel. Here’s a list of 11 shows that delve into Ozark-like topics such as international drug trade, problematic families, double identities, and why seemingly good people choose to break bad. (We’re omitting prestige dramas such as Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, and The Americans in favor of lesser known crime-fiction.)

Expect these shows to keep you on the edge of your seat, just like Ozark did:

Queen of the South

After her drug-dealing boyfriend is killed, Teresa Mendoza (played by Alice Braga) flees across the border to Texas, where she begins working for Camila Vargas (Ozark’s Verónica Falcón), the estranged wife of the Mexican cartel boss who took her lover’s life. Teresa has a knack for drug distribution, which quickly makes her an enemy of Camila—and the U.S. government.
