Ozark	comment	Ozark is a Netflix crime drama series created by screenwriters Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams. The show started its run in July 2017. It was renewed for two additional seasons, which were released in August 2018 and March 2020 respectively. A fourth and final season, with an extended episode count, premiered on January 21, 2022.Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman) is a Chicago financial advisor who, along with his business partner, launders money for a Mexican drug cartel. When his partner tries to cheat the cartel and ends up dead, Marty relocates his unfaithful wife Wendy (Laura Linney) and two kids to a modest resort town at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, where he hopes to work off his debt to the cartel while avoiding the attention of the FBI. Unfortunately for them, the tranquil scenery does not offer respite from their troubles. Both the cartel and the Feds continue to breathe down Marty's neck, and he starts to attract unwelcome attention from the local criminal element, including the Langmore and Snell families, and later the Kansas City Mafia.

To the poin of reaching a breaking point in Season 3. But behind this, they still comfort for each other (after Marty was kidnapped and tortured and Wendy's brother was killed in Season 3 for example) when they need due to lingering feelings and for the sake of their family.

They find out the hard way that he's perfectly fine with killing them all and just hiring someone else. Throughout Season 2 and 3, the Byrdes are in a constant game of this, as they try different ways to make themselves too useful to Helen and Navarro to kill, despite the problems they cause. Helen is plotting a coup against the cartel, figuring it'll work given how she's so valuable to the organization, she can build up her power. She's still plotting that when she gets a bullet through the brain.

Ozark / int_154aa477	comment	Big, Screwed-Up Family: Pretty much all the families present in the show: The Byrdes: Marty's a money launderer; Wendy's cheating on Marty; Charlotte is uprooted and (understandably) lashing out at almost everybody except her brother (but, she will use him against her parents)â€¦ And, then there's whatever is up with Jonah, which can go several ways if they can't get him to channel that dead animal interest in other, less squicky, directions. Some of them just as pathological, if a bit less likely to mean a murder charge. Oh, and there's Wendy's brother, who seems to have been diagnosed with a personality disorderâ€¦ or something, and is later revealed to be bipolar and a danger to himself and others when off his meds. The Langmores are the local area's clan of ne'er-do-wells who run afoul of the law almost as often as each other. The Snells have been running a heroin farm for several generations. The Snells we meet in the series never had kids and were too old to do so but that doesn't stop Darlene from trying to adopt a child. When that doesn't work, she turns to kidnap, murder, and just about anything else she can think of to have a kid. The Navarro family runs a drug cartel and all of them have absolutely zero qualms about killing people on their way, either personally or through their army of mooks. Omar is the ruthless head of it, who doesn't mind getting his own hands dirty. His nephew Javi is an over-ambitious young kickstar, and once Javi is killed by Ruth Langmore and Omar takes credit to maintain his face, Camila, his sister and Javi's mother, starts plotting to both kill Omar and then take over the cartel â€” both of which she ultimately succeeds with. Oh, and once Omar figures his own sister is after him, he starts plotting back. And while Omar insists that children are off-limits, the rest of the family has no such reservations.

Well, through Wendy's business partner Sam Dermody, he gets this loan. Guess what happens to the investor before the end of the episode?

Ozark / int_319e4a2f	comment	Even Evil Has Standards: In Del Rio's words: "A father shouldn't have to see his child die" before having one of his henchmen kill Hanson Sr. and then Del Rio himself kills Hanson Jr. Omar Navarro has a strict policy against killing children and at the end of season 4 tells Wendy he knew all along where her children are being hidden but chose not to use the information. He seems genuinely disappointed when she threatens his own family. Marty uses this to recover the money after the Langmores initially steal it. He points out that while he can't make them give it back, he's going to tell Del they stole it, and Del will torture and murder all of them to get it back, which means that unless they're willing to kill Marty right then and there, they should give him back every cent. When Ruth argues that his partnering with a drug dealer makes him worthy of death anyway, Marty points out she will likely run out of her share of the money faster than the others and then probably blackmail them, and asking if they're prepared to either endure that or kill a family member. It works. In spite of the ever mounting immoral actions Wendy has facilitated, she absolutely refuses to even think about helping Darlene adopt a baby. When Marty gives Mason's son to Darlene to pacify her, Wendy makes it clear that they are going to find a way to get him back. She makes good on this promise in season 3, though she goes about it in underhanded fashion and ultimately must give it up. In spite of already being a Dirty Cop, Sheriff Nix is scandalized to be forced to push opium. He negotiates a tit-for-tat at the earliest possibility to get out of the requirement. Jim is a bit of a shady lawyer, but even he draws the line at massive voting fraud. Ironically, so does Wendy.

It's when Marty refuses, becomes defiant, and helps Navarro deal with a problem just to rub it in his face that he is let go. He then tells Wendy that she was correct about a test, but the real test was to see what kind of man Marty was when all the pretension was gone. He passed because Navarro saw that Marty was just like him, a determined person who wants to win no matter what it takes.

In the end, about every sympathetic character is either dead or ruined as a result of the Byrdes' actions. Ruth is the last one, killed by Camila as she was about to start a new, clean life. The upside comes from the Byrdes finally becoming a family again — which is only an upside if you find them sympathetic enough to deserve such an ending — though they will never truly be able to escape from being money launderers. Otherwise, it's a full-on Downer Ending with a family of Karma Houdini criminals getting free, with enough power and resources to politically control the entire midwest.

It wasn't enough to spare Mason from the "consequences", but he respected it regardless.

Wendy completely breaks down like this after leaving her brother to be killed by Helen's hitman.

Not only does this completely get out of hand, but Wendy starts to visibly latch onto her own lie, up to the point where Marty eventually has to remind her that she made that all up when she's called to a coroner's office to identify someone's else body. Later on, she keeps deluding everyone, but first and foremost herself, that not only the foundation she started has any real point of existence (despite being an utter failure to do just about anything, not to mention secure far-reaching political ambitions Wendy has), but that working both with the cartel and the FBI is going smooth and will bring nothing but success. Eventually, she outright stops listening to Marty or anyone trying to reason with her, going deeper and deeper into her own lies.

Ozark / int_a3458bf2	comment	More Deadly Than the Male: Downplayed with Ruth Langmore, who is more cunning than all her male relatives, though she is not as violently dangerous as her father. Darlene Snell is a strong believer that Murder Is the Best Solution and proves ready to implement it at the slightest provocation. By the end of Season 2, Marty has been deeply unnerved by the things he's done and seen and just wants to flee, but Wendy has completely immersed herself into life as a criminal. She engineers Cade's murder when Marty is just trying to flee. By Season 4, Wendy has become the mastermind behind the Byrde operation while Marty has taken a supporting, almost passive role. This proves true in season four of Omar Navarro's older sister, Camila. Not only does she arrange an attempt on his life right under Marty's nose, she successfully gambits to keep him in a U.S. prison, and when the Byrdes approach her to make a deal, she barely hesitates to arrange the death of her beloved baby brother so she can work out a deal with the FBI to run the cartel herself. She forces Clare Shaw to instantly spill the beans about Javi's murder with a verbal threat so vile Clare visibly tries not to vomit, and then guns Ruth down herself. And she gets away with all of it.

Ozark / int_a651f5a6	comment	Good Is Impotent: A recurring theme, given the Villain Protagonist nature of the series: For a varied definition of good, Agent Petty is ultimately powerless against Marty or pinning anything on him. He is eventually murdered without accomplishing anything beyond leaving a Trail of Bread Crumbs for the FBI to follow. Agent Maya has far greater scruples and moral reservations, which further ties her hands down. And when she tries to defy this trope and goes against the wishes of her superiors, capturing Omar Navarro, she ends up Kicked Upstairs to remove her from the picture, as they can't exactly drum out an agent that just took out the kingpin of the biggest drug cartel. Mel Sattem is a PI that works for various parties, but always stays on the side of the good. For all his wicked smarts and tying down the threads nobody else was even able to notice, he gets gunned down by Jonah before he can reveal it to anyone, leaving the Byrdes scot-free. And even before that, Wendy already found a way to reinstate him into the Chicago PD, in an attempt to both bribe him and prevent him from testifying against her in court, simply because he couldn't be physically present at the appointed time.

Worse, he did this while simultaneously being The Mole for the FBI, which was just adding lighter fluid to the fire of dumbness. Wendy's lover Gary, upon being told about the cartel situation, tells Wendy to empty the joint bank accounts and flee to his apartment, like the cartel is not going to mind a few tens of thousands of dollars being missing from what Marty owes them. Del off-handedly insulting the Snells, and then defiantly repeating the insult in their own home. He should have at least considered that the kingpins of a local opium empire might be every bit as ruthless as he and his cartel. Agent Petty is alone and unarmed with known violent felon Cade Langmore out in the middle of nowhere. This is probably not a good time to start mocking him and his family. Applies to Cade as well in the same incident, as he impulsively strikes Petty in anger, then realises he's now committed to finishing the job. Ben wasn't in a good headspace, and being committed is no fun, but he made so many bad decisions that the person who loved him most in the world had to end him. Sue decides to blackmail the Byrdes after hearing them discuss their criminal activities, including murder. After receiving payment, she flaunts her ill-gotten cash while the Byrdes are under FBI surveillance and then tries to chisel them for a larger payday. No points for guessing how all this turns out for her. Frank Senior becomes this when he goes to the Snells' place alone and unarmed to threaten Darlene, which ends rather predictably.

For a brief moment the appeal to Helen's humanity seems to leave her at least open to the possibility, but that dream dies the second Erin arrives with Charlotte and Jonah. Season four gives us a twofer. First, the flashforward prologue shows us the Byrdes in their minivan, apparently making their final move back to Chicago, only for the minivan to roll over and crash. Then the end of the season proper has each of the characters getting most of what they wanted, which includes the Byrdes preparing to leave the Ozarks, only to get pulled back in again when Ruth goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge after Javi kills Wyatt and Darlene. The first instance is ultimately a subversion, as the Byrdes all survive the van crash. In the second half of season four, Ruth manages to wrest control of the Missouri Belle from the Byrdes and runs it as a completely legitimate business, becoming the first clean Langmore in five generations. Then she is gunned down by Camila as revenge for Javi's death.

They remain a source of trouble for him â€” and partially for the cartel â€” for the duration of the series, as something that not only was unforeseen, but keeps being a legit issue. The Snells are a local family of heroin dealers who won't take no for an answer and antagonize not only the Byrdes, but eventually also the cartel. Darlene in particular becomes an ever-increasing source of trouble for the cartel, undermining their operation and making unrealistic demands just because she can. She's eventually killed over it. The war between the Navarro and Lagunas cartel comes out of nowhere and complicates life for Marty. Mel Sattem is a private investigator, first to find out what happened to Helen and then to unravel where's Ben. The only reason his snooping didn't instantly blow a few schemes up was him being smart enough to know going forward would be suicidal. And even after Wendy gets him reinstated into the Chicago PD, it turns out he doesn't even have to be physically present as a witness for the judge to rule the case against Wendy, giving custody over Jonah and Charlotte to Nathan, their grandfather.

Ozark / int_ceec4df5	comment	Season four gives us a twofer. First, the flashforward prologue shows us the Byrdes in their minivan, apparently making their final move back to Chicago, only for the minivan to roll over and crash. Then the end of the season proper has each of the characters getting most of what they wanted, which includes the Byrdes preparing to leave the Ozarks, only to get pulled back in again when Ruth goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge after Javi kills Wyatt and Darlene. The first instance is ultimately a subversion, as the Byrdes all survive the van crash.

After receiving payment, she flaunts her ill-gotten cash while the Byrdes are under FBI surveillance and then tries to chisel them for a larger payday. No points for guessing how all this turns out for her.

Ozark / int_cfdb9e17	comment	Cerebus Syndrome: While never being a comedic show, season by season the amount of Black Comedy gets successively dialed down. Season 3 has a minor pushback with some humor back, to no small part thanks to Ben's and Sue's antics, but season 4 goes straight into being dry serious. In fact, season four has exactly one outright comedic bit (Marty getting into a brawl with a random car driver), which leads to a severe Mood Whiplash when it happens.

Ozark / int_d4ba9971	comment	Deceased Fall-Guy Gambit: Marty tells the Feds that he suspected his partner of illegal dealings. In one fell swoop, this works as an explanation for why he dissolved his company and fled Chicago, for his partner's disappearance, and any illegal activity they might suspect him of (and since the partner was murdered by the cartel, there's no need to protect him). It would seem a plausible alibi, except for the Feds being already well-aware of Marty's involvement.

However, Charlotte reacting to her parents' criminal activities by becoming a (very low-level version of) The Unfettered by stealing cartel money for her own use, stealing the aforementioned book from a completely innocent shopkeeper (in a way that is likely to implicate Wyatt, with far more serious consequences than she would face if caught) and then trying to emancipate herself from her parents in a way that vastly increases the risk of the cartel killing more people for knowing too much makes her condemnation of her parents ring hollow.

The Snells draw a very specific and emotional distinction between being called "hillbilly" or "redneck". They are hillbillies, a proud and wise lineage with a long history in the region, who were unfairly pushed out of their homes. "Rednecks" are the corrupt and greedy interlopers who did the pushing. Calling the Snells "rednecks" will push on their Berserk Button.

Omar is the ruthless head of it, who doesn't mind getting his own hands dirty. His nephew Javi is an over-ambitious young kickstar, and once Javi is killed by Ruth Langmore and Omar takes credit to maintain his face, Camila, his sister and Javi's mother, starts plotting to both kill Omar and then take over the cartel â€” both of which she ultimately succeeds with. Oh, and once Omar figures his own sister is after him, he starts plotting back. And while Omar insists that children are off-limits, the rest of the family has no such reservations.

Wendy bluntly informs the kids about the situation. From there on, more often than not, the Byrdes rely on their kids being at the very least compliant with their criminal activities, if not outright demanding full cooperation and participation. The series concludes with a dark So Proud of You moment: Jonah, a high school teenager, is willing to kill in cold blood a man ready to expose Wendy's involvement in the murder of Ben, his beloved uncle. Anything even resembling moral hesitation is long gone by that point and it's made clear in prior dialogue the kids are not just ok with the whole criminal activity but are fully into it on their own.
