Ozark Part 1 begins this weekend with seven episodes you can binge watch on Netflix beginning Friday, January 21st. I’m not going to miss this!
When we last saw Marty and Wendy Byrde (Jason Bateman and Laura Linney) their mob attorney, Helen, played by Janet McTeer, had been brutally murdered. The Byrdes were at a crossroads with their Mexican drug king pin and their pregnant FBI agent. Their kids, now 17 and 14, were wise to their money laundering operation out of a casino in the Ozarks. Wendy’s brother, Ben, played by Tom Pelphrey, was dead because they killed and incinerated him like Toby toward the end of “Sweeney Todd.” Ruth, Tom’s girlfriend, and the Byrds’ right hand girl, Julia Garner, had had it with them, which wasn’t good.

Apple TV: $33 Billion
A new report claims that Apple is planning to greatly increase its Apple TV+ program library with at least one new show per week in 2022, plus it is currently spending half a billion on advertising.
As of May 2021, Apple TV+ was believed to have around 40 million subscribers, which beats Hulu and Paramount+, but leaves it far behind Netflix’s 208 million. Apple TV+ is also considered to have one of the smallest streaming libraries, but is reportedly now planning to greatly increase its quantity of original programs.
Disney+ (103 million subscribers), Hulu (41.6 million), and ESPN+ (13.8 million) as well as ABC, Freeform, and Disney Channel.
Discovery (15 million subscribers) and WarnerMedia (64 million global HBO and HBO Max subscribers) . WarnerMedia’s properties also include Warner Bros. Pictures, Turner Broadcasting (TBS, TNT), Adult Swim, and more.
Peacock, NBCU NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, and others.
37 million new subscribers signed up to the service in 2020 alone.
ViacomCBS has over 36 million streaming subscribers across Paramount+, Pluto TV, BET+, Showtime OTT and others. It also includes film studio Paramount Pictures and Comedy Central, MTV, BET, Nickelodeon, as well as the vast CBS empire.
Amazon spent $8.5 billion on film and television content last year and a billion of that was for it’s 5 season Lord of the Rings series.
Content spending among the nine leading media and technology companies will reach $140.5 billion in 2022, up about 10% year-over-year, according to new data from Wells Fargo.
