Ozark series 4 with SPOILERS

[foxlover47]

Just wondering if anyone has watched the entire series 4 and wanted to discuss it or the ending ?! ......

Yes I noticed that as well

Despite her being evil and killing off my favourite, I loved her! Great voice and loved her style.

Wasn’t too impressed by the last season. Wendy became a complete psychopath and Marty was just a big drip. I was hoping the road rage thing was him finally going crazy and doing something interesting… but no. Having John-Boy from the Waltons playing Wendy’s dad was a weird casting choice.

Finally watched episode 14. It was hard because Dh lost interest. We so enjoyed season 1-3. Season 4 the first part less, 4 the second part, even less.

Marty and Wendy still aren't free. Camilla will never let them go.

All that. To the car crash that was pointless.

What a rubbish Part 2 of Season 4 and totally unnecessarily horrible ending. Why kill of Ruth and never any of the Byrds?! Totally unnecessary and unsatisfactory. And Jonah shooting Mel was just stupid.

I agree. I kept waiting for Camilla to double-cross the Byrds and warn Onar. Why kill him?!

Omar*

I think she was power hungry and didn’t want any obstacles in her path to getting to the top.

I just can't understand why the writers let the Byrds and Camilla win and kill off Ruth after it looked like she finally made it with Snell's money and a clean record and the casino. It was all totally pointless. Part 2 of Season 4 was a complete waste of time. Most of it was spent on the pointless story with Wendy's father/children that went nowhere and the rest on Ruth cleaning her record and taking over the casino - also pointless. I am not even talking about Marty's ridiculous and unrealistic stay in Mexico as the cartel leader. Everything was just totally pointless

Because real life sometimes IS pointless.

Finally finished. I was actually getting bored by the end, despite the fact it’s a great show and the best female characters.

I like how it didn’t go down the moral route of punishing the bad guys.

Nope, basically back to how it started.

I can imagine a bit of both. It was never going to work out for her was it. :(

Nice guys usually finish last is the message I took from the ending.

Exactly. Of course Ruth wasn't going to come out on top. I read a couple of articles confirming that the whole point is that the cartel money won. Darlene the small-town dealer may have been a local drugs bigshot, but she lost. The Byrdes were going to go on and be successful while Ruth the petty criminal who grew up in a trailer park with nothing also lost out. Such is life.

Well, it's hardly a realistic show - if they wanted to go down the "real life sucks" route then they should have done the whole show more reality-based. It was a nonsensical ending especially as last few episodes built up to Ruth winning

And what was the point in the car accident?

So Three is now the sole survivor of the Langmore clan and heir to all of Ruth's money?

On the question of realism - there is no way in hell the FBI would interfere with a Mexican cartel war. That was utter nonsense

Yep. In trust I guess. Don't think he was any more than 16.

To get kids to realise they love Wendy

The outcome of the car accident was spoiled by Netflix anyway. When you selected the show, there was a photo of them sat on the ground next to the car, showing they were all still alive. So pointless.

This is why I think it’s great TV. You wouldn’t predict it.

We were seeing even more of Wendy and what she had to deal with. She is absolutely ruthless but I don’t think she is as heartless as she looks. And Marty is not all innocent. They are and always will be a unit. Ruth will never escape the Langmore curse.

Mel’s comment about how those guys never win were absolutely wrong. Of course they win, they are power.

This is the thing, Marty isn’t a great guy. Ruth was always more loyal to him.

The fade to black ending has a Sopranos feel to it. We did not actually see who got shot…
