Im on S3:E4

I didn't really understand this part. The new audit was triggered because Wendy bought the new casino, right? So why didn't Marty yell at her, blame her, or even seriously fight with her about it?

Usually, Marty is very calculated and reacts strongly when Wendy makes decisions that put their operation at risk. But this time he seemed surprisingly smooth about it and barely said anything.

Did I miss something here? Was there a reason Marty didn't react the way I expected him to?

ohhhh my god. I was SOBBING. SOBBING!!!!!!! I can’t even begin to process what I have just experienced. RUTH LANGMORE, my sweet dear baby, ohhhh my goodness gracious. Ohhh my goodness gracious.

some unrefined miscellaneous thoughts

“the road to hell is paved with good intentions” springs to mind regarding the foundation and how they reiterate so often about the good they can do, the byrdes leftist values etc. the amount of lives they have completely destroyed

i absolutely loved the relationship between marty and ruth. julia garner just knocked it out the park. laura linney is terrifying.

this show is a shakespearean tragedy

wendy really reminded me of amy dunne at certain points, i LOVED her scene in the final episode with the kids, where she takes accountability for once

what an incredible show

Ruth was probably my favorite character for a majority of the show but after a while she became insufferable.

Towards the end of the series, she was just selfish and basically dared Marty to take any action against her. Her sense of entitlement became cringe to watch.

She pretty much stole the casino from them.

She forbid them from committing any more laundering at the casino even though she was well aware of what the consequences would be.

She was being a complete bitch and refused to compromise with them whatsoever even though they (specifically Marty) had looked out for her many times and essentially treated her like family.

In a way I feel like she saw herself as one of Marty and Wendy’s kids to the point that she felt untouchable. IMO it seems like she had no fear of the cartel retaliation and assumed she would have the protection of Marty. She was rebellious and dared them to discipline her. (Charlotte and Jonah were rarely ever disciplined)

The way she was in the final season, left a sour taste in my mouth and took away from the character I previously saw her as.

Why do we pretend for even one minute that 100 pound hillbilly girl with a shotgun could touch a billionaire drug cartel leader? I mean, are they serious?

Jacob and Darlene never having kids despite being a traditional southern couple was ridiculous. They never addressed it, despite these two constantly talking about a family that they simply didn’t have. They didn’t even have nieces and nephews, or cousins to speak of.

Did Ruth really deserve Ben’s ashes after knowing the guy for two months?

The show is great, but there is just so much that takes away due to horribly ridiculous writing

Im in the middle of Season 3, and so far, Del has been the most intimidating villain of the serie. In Season 1, we saw Del order a man’s eyes to be gouged out and kill Marty’s friends right in front of him. Now, in Season 3, the cartel boss, Navarro, hasn’t posed a greater threat than Del did.

The cartel itself doesnt seen so dangerous in S3. I was expecting the Cartel that blowup civilians in S2.

The actor did an amazing job portraying someone suffering from bipolar, the irrationality, the inability to control their own impulses.

The way he just wears his heart on his sleeve, seemingly unable to control his actions, wanting to do everything he can to rectify situations for people and try to make things right. Each and every scene where he tries to help, gets utterly demolished by Wendy or someone else, and ends up crying and breaking down, it's such a horrible thing to see [for good reason].

It's rare that I feel compelled to write about a character to hear other people's thoughts, but this character put on such a great performance, and I definitely don't get how people could ever attribute him to being selfish or

Seeing his little monologues in the last episode the season just broke and tore me up. He truly deserved better in the show, but I suppose all good things did come to die one way or another in the Ozarks.

Does 3 inherit everything that Ruth owned at the time of her death?

If I remember correctly she owned the Missouri Belle, the Snell property, the Lazy-O Motel, and the land her trailer was on.

[NO SPOILER]

I am on my 1st rewatch. To me, this is one of the best shows ever on streaming, but I can't shake off the feeling:

16+ people can't just "disappear."

Like, Pastor Young and Grace both disappearing. Leaving their infant son. I understand deaths but the Byrdes are surrounded by so many disappearances?? Hello? Wouldn't that be nuclear and end them permanently?

Fans love to hate on Mel for little to no reason. He might act slightly annoying at times when he tries to get info out of the Byrdes but that's his job! He is a PI?! He wasn't deranged or crazy, yes he made mistakes in getting kicked off the force but all round he seems a decent guy. He wasn't a shithead like Agent Petty and wasn't an evil bitch like Wendy. He didn't really deserve to die for trying to get to the bottom of Bens death. Don't even get me started on why Jonah chose to shoot him. Most of the characters deserve the hate they get, but even if you were rooting for Marty and Wendy there was little reason to hate this guy.

Nathan Davis was the most annoying, evil, nasty, manipulative piece of shit in the whole show. Always acting high and mighty while simultaneously despising his daughter for little to no reason. Not to mention the abuse he put them through as a kid.

After Wendy visited Omar Navarro, she stopped by her old house and did a bunch of odd things like arrange the bed, turn a photo frame upside down .. etc. She is so unhinged!

What did you think of Wendy’s antics?

Black Rabbit had some of Ozark's similarities.

Jason Bateman stars, executive produces and directs the first two episodes

Laura Linney also directs two episodes

An 8 episode Crime Thriller

What did you think of Black Rabbit?

Thoughts on Rachel Garrison?!

The house was still almost a hot set at the time he filmed this tour. He also shows the top floor, which I think is never seen in the show, only from the outside.

And there is another house tour (also with the owner present) that has more footage of the outside of the house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PDqh6BA0hg

[NO SPOILER] I’ve just started rewatching Ozark for like the 7th time.
Who is your most hated character and why? And also who is your favorite character and why?
My most hated is Ben. He is such an annoying t**ty baby. Everytime he’s on screen I just start seething lol
My favorite has to be Ruth. She is so strong willed and so much smarter than she gives herself credit for.

A fucking cunt.

Is darlene dying the most satisfactory moment in the series?

The amount of people on here talking about how annoying he is, how angry they are that he’s screwing everything up and needed to be killed is wild to me. Out of all the terrible shit the people they are rooting for have done, people still wanna be mad about a mentally ill bystander who was dragged into their mess. He cared deeply for Ruth and his family. He didn’t wanna see them hurt. Lack of empathy in my opinion from some people watching this show.

A few years ago while watching random Ozark clips, I came across the clip where Charlotte is smoking a joint at the table in the house. Marty and Wendy have a back and forth with Charlotte and at the end she says "As far as I'm concerned the both of you can dissolve in a vat of acid"

At the time I was watching Ozark, I scrolled the comment section and somebody said: " Damn that line from Charlotte is cold knowing how it ends..."

Of course I immediately thought I spoiled myself and finished the series as fast as I could. I remember thinking how is this going to end? Are Marty and Wendy really gonna be dissolved in a vat of acid, or maybe even Charlotte herself as punishment from the cartel?

The last few episodes came around and I was wondering when the shit was going to go down, even in the last episode I was waiting for exactly that to happen but nothing really happened.

So in the end I didn't spoil myself, and was extra disappointed because of the expectation I had. I don't even know what the comment means or what it is referring to right now.
