Official Ozark Season 4 - (Part 2/Series Finale/April 29th)

[O.Red]

That detective was annoying but he wasn't someone who deserved to die. If his worst qualities are being a coke head and self righteous then he might as well be a saint compared to 90% of the people in Ozark. Jonah was the last family member who didn't agree with how Byrdes were moving and was ready to move out. It was pretty much out of character what he did in the end compared to what he would have done in the past. That whole accident scene and reasoning being so was just lazy writing

Are you sure he didn't deserve to die? If a man broke into your home and threatened your livelihood what would you do? I get what you're saying but Mel signed his life away when he smashed that glass

I think putting the entire blame on the car accident as a catalyst is a mistake. The fact that the entire family was reunited in the van beforehand was establishing what people blame the accident on. The kids forgave Wendy for finally admitting to her bullshyt and telling the whole truth. The accident didn't cause a bond, it solidified one

And ultimately you gotta look at the context of the Byrdes during that final scene. Jonah killed Mel because he was threatening their newfound freedom that they've worked 4 seasons to attain. The entire family was on the same page of "Nikka we worked TOO hard for you to pop up with THIS bullshyt"

I expected him to die, hell he deserved it for his ego by staying and waiting to gloat on people who have proven they are killers. I just did not expect the kids (Jonah) to be the one to do it.

I thought the whole hospital thing came off as manipulative rather than her actually being truthful. Charlotte was always on the fence so it wasn't shocking that she was so easy to forgive but Jonah despised Wendy. Him changing his mind so quickly and turning into what he did was just poorly written. He was a stubborn kid, it just didn't seem in his character to change his mind this easily. Would have been better if they spent more time on him change his mindset on Wendy again. Would rather have that than the whole father storyline.


And lets get to the last part, we all know Camila and FBI not giving them the freedomthey will be stuck in that cycle

I aint reading this thread for spoilers om this 2nd half but if Ruth don't die then this show will go from top15 to not mentioned at all

I don't disagree that they prob should've spent more time on Jonah growing to forgive Wendy but also i feel the opposite way about his characterization

I hate 4a Jonah much worse and i think that's where he was written shytty. Being mad at Wendy i understand but he became obnoxious teenager trope x20

 

[klientel]

This can’t be the final season. I didn’t get any closure from that shyt

 

[Duke_Droese]

The way Wendy was going crazy and all their underlings turned on #byrdset, it was looking like they weren't gonna make it. Felt like the walls were closing in on them.

That increasing doom feel was a great vibe they produced in the season, plus sobering shyt like fake religious people, elitism, bad parents.

While snowfall has Franklin becoming the tiger whisperer lol. Shows there's levels to this shyt.

And to your last point it's relative of course

Laundering money with the fed blessing is about as free as it gets especially when you consider how Wendy has become the new hot name in politics. They're as protected as it gets considering the circumstances

Them nikkas WON won

 

[zayk35]

Just finished and I kinda regret watching this series now

Spoiler

Just one big ass story of rich white people doing whatever the fukk they want and getting away with it. Not even a minivan flipping multiple times at highway speed could stop them. They literally climbed out and went right on with their fukking day

And the nerve of them ending everything with AL GREEN you had TWO Black characters. And I didn’t mind that for what the story is, but come on… play some damn Nickelback or whateve. Leave Al outta this

Al Green makes everything better though

 

[Buddy]

Yea but to really take no losses? Come on fam. That’s not life lol.

they made plenty mistakes. Especially Wendy who keep digging deeper holes constantly when Marty was close to getting them out. She wasn’t calculating, she literally made deals where he robbed Peter to pay Paul every ep

and then when it didn’t go right, “we can just kill so and so”

Wendy reeked with this notion that she's smarter than everybody.
I kept waiting for her to get checked and humbled.

Hope Camilla gets a spin-off.

Hope Camilla gets a spin-off.

Queen of the South.

She has klingon looking face though. Would be tough as a lead lol.

 

[Rawtid]

What’s the point of having them flip over in a car just to go back to business like it was nothing. I hate unnecessary “hijinks” I mean they are already operating ridiculously.

 

[Benjamin Sisko]

Nas, lol. NAS!! @Ziggiy he made it

 

[JP_614]

I NEVER SLEEP CAUSE SLEEP IS THE COUSIN OF DEATH it’s really levels to this shyt fellas

 

[SunZoo]

Agreed that shyt was

I think what bothers people the most about the ending stems back to my earlier post about how nihilistic the show is.

The hate for this ending is reminding me of how furious nikkas was that Marlo made it out the game clean on The Wire Anything short of Marlo laid out in the streets with a bullet in his head for everything he did was would cause uproar

Look at some of the posts in here. Nikkas would be fine if Marty or Wendy(ESPECIALLY Wendy) died. Instead we see the beginning of yet another ultra rich cac dynasty built on bodies of a dirt poor family

Ruth's death only pours salt in the wound for anybody feeling good about her come up

It's the inverse of the hero story. In a show full of bad people the WORST people won

Ole boy told them they don't get to win, to be like the Koch's or the Kennedy's lol

People saying them not dying is somehow unrealistic or didn't make sense got it ass backwards.
