Season 1 Review:
“The Mosquito Coast” is stronger in its unpredictable plotting than its dialogue, and its momentum is remarkable. ... It feels like fans of the work of Vince Gilligan, and “Ozark” will take to this the most, although “The Mosquito Coast” is arguably stronger in its first season than that Netflix drama was in its freshman outing.

Season 1 Review:
If you know where this story is eventually going to end up, geographically as well as emotionally, it can seem as if the writers are unnecessarily running out the clock in order to get the next binge-tailored ending to land at the 55-minute mark. But there’s enough going at the level of performance and characterization that you rarely feel as if a given scene is devoid of purpose.

Season 2 Review:
The problem when writers don’t really know where to take a season is that it leads to shallow, self-serious dialogue. There are so many serious conversations this season that go absolutely nowhere. It just lacks the urgency of the first season, and the slower pace means there’s time to realize how thin these characters are. It feels at times like the writers have no idea what to do with them.

Season 1 Review:
The Mosquito Coast comes together as the product of several puzzling choices, beginning with the decision to again adapt Paul Theroux's 1981 book, and then to situate it in a contemporary setting. The result is a creepier-than-perhaps-even-intended series, which most charitably plays a poor man's "Breaking Bad: Family Edition."

It's got an Ozark/Breaking Bad feel I like, and thus far I like everyone in it. I'm 3 in and I'm excited to see more. Justin Theroux is perfect casting as the father.

Season 1: mildly interesting.
Season 2: utterly boring garbage.
Don’t waste your time here.

This show has a child killing people. Awful show and the main character maybe

Not good. A fake Ozark and you may as well watch the original. Or watch breaking bad. Both are just better versions of the mosquito coast
