OZARK final season starts 4/29/2022 (Season 4, Part 2)

It's on!

Little after 3 AM I go to the Netflix front page and there’s big banner ads about Summertime and I scroll through the whole thing and no mention of Ozarks anywhere and I literally have to use the search feature to find it. This is why they are going down the fucking toilet, they can even properly market one of their biggest properties.

It was on my main page but it brought me to season 1 episode 1, so had to scroll through to the new stuff.

Wendy is still a bitch.

Three, Ruth’s cousin had a big growth spurt.

Wendy's father (John Boy Walton) looks like he could be her brother

Is Atlanta standing in for Chicago here?

At the very least, I hope Wendy takes out her horrific father before the end of this.

Yippee, I am so excited to binge this tonight!

Yikes.

I am on ep. 12 I really want Ruth and her new partner to survive

I do like this show very much. I will absorb these final episodes very slowly.

Also on Episode 12. Wendy is a cunt-barely watchable. None of them are redeemable any more, but I still like Ruth for her potty mouth. Fuck off, Dr. Phil.

SPOILER

SPOILER

- the wrong person died. They all were guilty but I was hoping that person would make it.

My partner and I left 3 episodes for tomorrow night. I don’t want it to end, even though it really needs to. There is something so hot about Justin Bateman.

R14 you’re a stupid fucking cunt. I hope you die of cancer. You may as well just have named names with your fucking sPoiLeR. Seriously, go fuck yourself.

r16 that's why it was marked SPOILER so you could scroll through it and not read if you haven't watched yet.

“Math looks pretty easy to me.” say the hillbilly Ozark lady to Marty.

“All those things can be true at once.”

So, despite this fanfare announcement during filming that Ali Stroker had joined the cast in a reoccurring role on Ozark it was really a red herring and dead end and only amounted to basically a cameo? This seems very strange, they must of dropped a storyline at some point.

SPOILER . . . . What a disappointing, nonsensical ending. The surviving character who cared the most about Ben ends up offing the PI? Wtf? Season Three was the show’s peak.

I saw the first episode—fabulous!! Although I’m getting annoyed with all the killings this year

Do Javi and Marty get it on?

Nah, Javi dies quickly.

I'm sorry, but people complaining about spoilers for a show which releases all its episodes at once on a board that has no spoiler warning functionality are really doing too much. I know it's tempting, but don't visit a thread like this until you've finished. If you really can't resist, visit the Ozark subreddit where there are threads for individual episodes and individual moments from the show -- plus a robust suite of spoiler "protection" tools. That said...

******** SPOILER ALERT... I AM GOING TO DISCUSS PLOTPOINTS FROM THE SERIES FINALE *****

...while this show was imperfect and certainly required a great suspension of disbelief (as Breaking Bad did, I would argue), I loved it until the end. And I LOVED that ending. I don't think it came out of nowhere. The family had FINALLY found some degree of equilibrium and were going to crawl out of this life and Jonnah wasn't going to let one nosy P.I. spoil that. Also... one might consider the many prior scenes of Jonnah with a shotgun (sometimes aiming it right at other people) a bit of a foreshadowing that eventually... he was going to pull the trigger. Loved the smile and nod of approval Marty and Wendy gave him as he pulled the trigger. A truly fucked up family for the ages.

I watched the final episode thinking it was not the final episode. Silly me. Even at the end, I thought there was more. Still, I liked the ending.

Jonah had no emotional arc of which to reconnected him with the audience in the second half, he was barely on the radar, so it really lessened the impact of what he did as he was such a tertiary character by that point. The kids going “with the grandfather” had no establishing scenes and it was unclear their motivation for choosing him over their parents. Really the kid characters completely petered out at the end.

Jonah was on the spectrum wasn't he? Therefore there would be no emotions.

His being on the spectrum would make sense--he shows few emotions. is very loyal to friends, and is great at math

The whole fourth season was terribly written with improbable plotting that ignored character.

Three was robbed! He’s Wyatt’s brother. Under the law, he inherits 100% of Wyatt’s estate. But Cousin Ruth and that chick from Season 1 go see some fancy lawyer who says Wyatt wrote the word “heir” on some emergency contact form, and POOF! Three gets nothing.

Justice for Three!

I’m pretty sure Three was also Wyatt’s cousin - their three dads were brothers. And the show also pointed out that Ruth had additional rights due to being Wyatt’s legal guardian.

Nope.

Agree. that the kids were seriously underwritten and never provided with motivation for wanting to go to NC . . . and then wanting to stay. And as for the killing at the end, there was surely going to be an investigation into his disappearance. Weak ending IMHO.

IF A SPOILER ALERT IS STILL NECESSARY FOR YOU, YOU ARE AN IDIOT, BUT HERE IT IS>

The writers knew the audience loves Ruth so they contrived to have her killed in a way that Marty and Wendy have clean hands, but I would have found it more tragic if they had her blood on their hands. Wendy had her father and her boyfriend killed, but Ruth does not seek revenge, being a practical gal. But the head of a Mexican drug cartel? Him she goes after, finding him conveniently unguarded. Again, the plot ignores her character to manipulate the plot so she can be killed by the Dragon Lady.

The kids were worse than underwritten—they were unwritten. This season, Charlotte, who had been seeking emancipation, becomes Mommy’s loyal little girl until she suddenly needs to move in with grandpa until she changes her mind again.

Can we talk about the car crash tease? When Breaking Bad did this sort of thing, the moment being teased was only subtlety shown and it turned out to be a pivotal event in the story. Here, we see the entire scene play out exactly as it was teased and the dreaded crash was just a fake-out that means nothing in terms of the plot or the characters’ lives. Audience abuse.

I mean, the car crash both emboldened and instantly bonded the Byrds. Wendy kind of said that when dismissing the priest back at their house, after the crash.

Not exactly a key plot point worthy of framing the whole season.

There's going to be a movie, right?

Thought the final episodes and the finale especially strained credulity (and I was willing to suspend disbelief up until then) and it just wasn’t that compelling.

Ruth dies but not because of the Byrdes but… because Claire, a nothing character, fingers her for Javi’s death? And what happened to the FBI agent, Maya? Her character never really paid off (and I liked the actress).

To be honest, I enjoyed the final season of "Ozark" much more than I've been enjoying the one of "Better Call Saul."

I wanted Ruth to take Jonah’s virginity.

Pics please

I wanted Javi to take Marty's anal virginity.

It should have been Maya and the cop shooting the Byrdes, and making it seem like a cartel hit. The family deserved to be killed at the end. It was truly one of the worst TV endings in recent history.
