Ozark [Netflix] (SPOILERS)

California Dreamer · 26-01-2022 8:36am

For a character thats supposed to be dead, Ben gets a lot of mentions!!!

Ben was the standout of the whole series so far for me, tbh. That actor was incredible. He gave the show real heart and reminded the other characters how crazy and harmful this all is (despite being, himself, “the crazy one”).

Season 3 was great because of him, and S4 is now just on a par with 1&2. Enjoyable and very watchable, but not elevated to the top echelons of prestige TV.

Muahahaha · 26-01-2022 3:33pm

Lads I watched S1 & 2 of this but then dropped out, found it a bit slow going. Does it pick up a lot in S3?

McGrath5 · 26-01-2022 5:20pm

Finished it over the weekend, yeah the new episodes are good but overall it feels dragged with a part 2 of season 4 yet to come. 10 episodes for season 4 would of have been plenty to wrap everything up.

"I don't know sh*t about f*ck."

Watched the last few episodes last night and wondered how many times Ruth has said the F word throughout the 4 seasons.

I think I could easily rewatch all the episodes and try count the number.

kirk. · 30-01-2022 10:25am

I'm finding it a bit tedious by ep2 of the new season

I'm getting a bit wary of Netflix shows as they seem generally to be routine and lack originality

It picks up half way through. Unfortunately with this carry on of splitting the final season of shows into 2 halfs there is more filler for sure.

Mantis Toboggan · 30-01-2022 12:35pm

Thought it was excellent myself but agree that finishing after part 2 would make sense. Darlene is one scary women with Wendy not far behind. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Garlinge · 04-02-2022 12:14am

Any idea when second part drops?

pixelburp · 04-02-2022 9:47pm

Caught the first episode and my immediate reaction was sympathy for the private investigator who just waded into all that. I do wonder if there's more to him than he claims, but also how long he'll last, unaware of the wolves surrounding him.

Homelander · 04-02-2022 10:37pm

Really enjoyed the first half of the new season. Finale was an excellent setup for the second and final piece of it all.

The script is lacking at times admittedly and the overall core is pretty stupid but by god do the actors really sell the whole thing. I genuinely am looking forward to the final chapter as much as I was with the final season of Breaking Bad.

steve_r · 07-02-2022 3:55pm

Finished the first half of the season last night - it has its moments but I thought the story went a bit off the rails with all the dealmaking with the FBI - it looked like the Brydes were able to make and amend any sort of deal that they wanted and both Navarro and the FBI would go with it.

I did enjoy the performances of Darlene, Ruth, and Wyatt - could have watched more of that.

Fr Tod Umptious · 12-02-2022 2:53pm

Just finished Part 1 of Season 4.

I agree with others who say the plot is getting a bit out there, but that's really no surprise.

Ruth and Wendy are two of the best characters I've seen in a long time.

God I hate Wendy.

As another poster said I think the PI might play a large part in Part 2.

When is Part 2 out ?

Fr Tod Umptious · 12-02-2022 3:05pm

One thing that I notice is a bit off is Zeke's age.

It's been a while since he was born, and a lot has happened, people like Charlotte and Jonah have really grow up.

But Zeke is still being carried around in a newborn's car seat.

He should at least be walking by now.

Thundercats Ho · 15-02-2022 9:32am

So is the very first scene is 4.1 going to be the last scene in 4.14, Where they crash the car?

Mushy · 15-02-2022 9:38am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118633069#Comment_118633069

I don't think it'll be the very last scene, would feel anticlimactic (to me anyway). Maybe it'll cause issues with a deal betwen Navarro and FBI. Certainly will play a large part in the final episodes though

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118620749#Comment_118620749

They've only grown because season 3 was filmed pre covid, in 2019....

The story is still based around the same couple of months.

pixelburp · 15-02-2022 11:56am

Yeah; technically very little time has passed between Seasons 3 and 4; it literally started with Marty & Wendy washing the blood of their clothes in Mexico. Charlotte doesn't look that different, but Jonah definitely went through a growth spurt. It's distracting all right but it happens - and not much can be done about CoVid forcing all those productions to stop.

el diablo · 21-02-2022 5:03am

It's been pretty entertaining (in a mindless sort of way). So nobody knows when it resumes?

Mantis Toboggan · 21-02-2022 11:15am

I'd be thinking Autumn

Mushy · 21-02-2022 7:59pm

For some reason I had second half August in my head, clearly nothing to back that up with though. Don't think there'll be an overlap with BCS, so likely be later

delboy85 · 21-02-2022 11:21pm

Am late to the party on this. Only started watching it last week and am up to Season 2, Episode 4 as of today.

I think it's terrific. Hugely entertaining and fantastic performances all round.

According to Wikipedia, the second half of Season 4 will be released in May.

21-02-2022 11:25pm

It's just a rumour but I read that the producers want to get part 2 out in time to be nominated for the Emmys so will need to release it by May 31st.

OmegaGene · 22-02-2022 7:10pm

Yeah it’s online that it’s due out in may

You must not have much patience, or not sure what you were expecting but I thought this season was well paced, never found myself getting bored watching it. Much as I loved Breaking Bad for example, I found some episodes of that very sluggish/dragged out

Agent Coulson · 23-02-2022 7:54pm

Final episodes drop April 29th

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5BE2jbszzM&ab_channel=Netflix

23-02-2022 8:34pm

I am struggling hard to get through this. Episode 5 and Wendy is a fvcking pain. Coercive and controlling behaviour all over and the family dynamic is all over the place.

Ruth is all that's holding this together

23-02-2022 8:51pm

And don't get me started on the cartoon nonsense that is Darlene. No way she's not killed by anyone (everyone) seasons ago

Agent Coulson · 29-03-2022 5:41pm

It’s on Netflix now 😀

Lisha · 30-04-2022 10:08am

It’s very good

jj880 · 30-04-2022 12:57pm

Just starting the last episode here now. Hope the ending is as good as the build up as its been excellent so far.

Thecageyone · 30-04-2022 1:38pm

3 episodes in, and though I like the series overall, am I the only one who cannot stand any of the Byrd family? I'm certainly not rooting for them. I'm not rooting for Ruth either tbh - just watching the story unfold with interest but no favourites in this race for me.

jj880 · 30-04-2022 1:58pm

Yeah no heroes but I like that. Makes it feel a bit more realistic I think. Cant stop watching.

30-04-2022 7:29pm

Super ending to a super series, really enjoyed it. I only wish I could watch it from the start again without having seen it already.

pixelburp · 30-04-2022 7:33pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118997361#Comment_118997361

I don't think you've ever meant to be rooting for them. They're clearly all terrible people trying desperately to eek their way out of the world they found themselves in. Wendy has been a fascinating character though: utterly despicable but a slow corruption all the same, going from reluctant partner to active antagonist within the story. Her own brother offered as sacrafice to her goals.

30-04-2022 7:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118998928#Comment_118998928

The only one I was rooting for was Ruth, great character/actress. Ironic that of all the protagonists, she came across as the most intelligent, and moral.

Thecageyone · 30-04-2022 8:41pm

If I had been 'rooting' for anyone, tbh it was Wyatt - so you can imagine I was a bit shook when that went down

I kinda like not liking anyone in particular though, makes it interesting, I'm not gonna cry if ANY of them get done in from here on - I am up to ep-10 season 4, just 4 to go

Thecageyone · 30-04-2022 8:45pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118998944#Comment_118998944

I can't stand her tbh, I mean the character is played very well, like she's intentionally irritating, but sometimes I just wish she'd get the bullet - in fairness her kids are even more nauseating, they're just not on screen so much, thankfully

30-04-2022 8:46pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118999182#Comment_118999182

Think you mean Wendy, Ruth doesn’t have kids, Ruth is the redneck.

pixelburp · 30-04-2022 8:51pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118998944#Comment_118998944

I had her pegged as becoming something of a Boyd Crowder (the FX show Justified) kinda figure; the underestimated local who becomes powerful in their own right, but she never really went there. Instead she has been a strange character, at once full of agency but also at the whim of the Byrde's fluctuating priorities. Which I suppose cuts deepest with the surrogate-father thing via Marty. Just as fascinating as the rest of the cast, and as you say the closest one you might root for. She has been a total **** like the rest, so wouldn't call her moral as such - but not in any Machiavellian sorta way.

30-04-2022 8:58pm

Hard to pick out a poor character in the whole show, even the ones that were minor fantastic and added to the stories. Russ langmore signing Angel from Montgomery in the last episode with the guitar was fantastic.

Thecageyone · 30-04-2022 9:18pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118999188#Comment_118999188

Yeah, bit of a brain fart there

Still stihl waters 3 · 30-04-2022 9:28pm

I hope Wendy gets a bullet

Thecageyone · 02-05-2022 3:36pm

I'm down to the final ep and cannot for the life of me think how they will manage to wrap this up

California Dreamer · 03-05-2022 7:41am

This season Nelson seems to be getting more screen time but as someone who is basically a killer on demand, I am surprised that he didn't get one.

Agent Coulson · 03-05-2022 3:49pm

Disappointing ending for me.

The Byrde's should have got their comeuppance either arrested or killed off preferably with bullets to the back of the head.

markw7 · 03-05-2022 4:09pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119010367#Comment_119010367

Couldn't agree more, the first half of this season seemed to get better with every episode. The latter half got worse as it went on.

The show was never even remotely realistic or meant to be, but the way Marty was sent down to run the cartel - ffs what were the writers at?

Disgusted Wendy got no punishment whatsoever and the kids came back.

silliussoddius · 03-05-2022 4:39pm

But they were left in a sh1tty position. Camilla is very volatile, if she even gets a hint that they knew about Javier’s death then they’re done.
