Jason Bateman is among those acclaimed stars who have been in the entertainment industry since childhood. He has appeared in popular TV shows during the 1980s, including Little House on the Prairie and The Hogan Family.

5 best TV shows and movies of Jason Bateman you shouldn't miss

As explained above, Jason Bateman is now an acclaimed star, and here are the top five picks that every DTF St. Louis fan should watch:

1) Ozark

If you enjoyed the uncomfortable tension and messy situations in DTF St. Louis, Ozark is probably the closest match among Jason Bateman's projects. In this series, the actor appears as a seemingly ordinary financial advisor who ends up in a dangerous drug cartel's money-laundering operation.

Where to watch: Netflix.

2) Arrested Development

Arrested Development is also a comedy series in which Bateman plays Michael Bluth, the only relatively sensible person in a family full of eccentric and irresponsible relatives. Michael is constantly trying to solve problems and keep the family together, but things almost always go wrong because someone in the family creates a new mess.

Where to watch: Netflix.

3) The Gift

The Gift shows a very different side of Jason Bateman, instead of the comedic roles he plays. He plays a successful man whose life falls apart when an old acquaintance from his past suddenly reappears.

At first, things looked just fine, but when strange gifts started to appear, it became clear that something was not right. The film does not feature fast-paced thrills, but it does follow mystery, tension, and uncertainty.

Where to watch: Netflix

4) Game Night

Game Night is a 2018 movie that mixes comedy with crime. Bateman takes on the role of a man who regularly goes to game nights with his wife and friends. However, one gathering turns into a real criminal situation, and the group soon finds itself caught up in events that are far more serious than they expected.
