It’s practically a cliché to assert that a home is a character in a Tv set clearly show. But in the case of the Ozark home, the lakeside home has served as an significant touchstone amid a few-and-a-fifty percent spectacular seasons in which the Byrde family members (led by Jason Bateman and Laura Linney) launder dollars for a Colombian drug cartel in a Missouri getaway city.
