In the beginning, when Ozark made its debut in the summer of 2017, many people blamed Netflix for envying Breaking Bad from AMC and making their own version. The basic line-up may have been a bit reminiscent of Walter White’s, but there really was no other resemblance: the story begins with the marriage of Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman), a financial advisor, in Chicago because his wife is cheating and his partner is a big pigeon. cause. To save her professional and private life, Marty moves her family to the shores of Lake Ozark, behind the back of God, where she is forced to start laundering money for the underworld.
Brutal emotional roller coaster – perhaps this is how we could characterize the Ozark; it would not be very talkative, but it would accurately describe what the Byrde family went through. On April 29, when the second half of the fourth season arrived, the last seven episodes that mark the end of Marty’s story seemed inconceivable for everyone to survive this adventure. There really was no chance of a happy ending, but compared to what we expected, we didn’t even see such a bloodbath. Let’s just say we had to swallow a terribly painful death in the closing part of the series that we may not ever be able to process.
One of the greatest explorers of the series was clearly Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner), who, with her constant swearing, “who if I didn’t?” with his style he caused the worship of at least as many people as he hated. The new dose of the Ozark is actually the swan song of the character who launches a personal vendetta against the mobster Javi (Alfonso Herrera). We understand why the girl who is being built by the writers in this part of seven is a joy to watch, which is why it is outrageous as the whole thing is unexpectedly destroyed. But that’s life, isn’t it? If someone steps into everyone’s corns, it will sooner or later suck ugly.
Unless, of course, the person is called Wendy Byrde (Laura Linney) – who, along with Ruth, also got a good deal of emphasis in the last chapter of the Ozark. There was also the fact that the character, who had fallen from one misfortune into another, had his father unexpectedly appeared, and he even had to be careful not to anger the mafia at himself.
By the end, Laura Linney had put on the table at least as disgusting as Lena Headey in the Battle of the Thrones. It was a stomach-turning, as everyone was manipulated by Marty’s wife, but like Julia Garner, it stole herself into our hearts forever.
If anyone has so far felt that Jason Bateman’s Martyja has only assisted in everything, then these parts probably didn’t improve the person’s judgment on the accountant. It’s a pretty invertebrate figure, but we could do the same for his son, Jonah (Skylar Gaertner). The Byrde children, as much as they considered themselves different from their parents, successfully proved by the end that the apple had not fallen so far from the tree.
But maybe that’s why we loved this series so much. Because there were no good and bad in it, everyone was driven for their own ends, and that’s why anyone was willing to wade through it, be it a family member or a random stranger.

It was a good draw to bring Camila (Veronica Falcon), who took the slightly tired Mexican mafia leader in place of Omar Navarro (Felix Solis), to the final parts, who shuffled the threads well and brought some unpredictability into the series. It’s not like the Ozark was a calm family matine until he arrived, but the makers pulled a card to 19 and it was fried well.

It is certain that the closing part of the series has already provided a basis for quite a few theories, and more people will guess what they have seen in the future. One or two crazy ideas have come to light, one of the most interesting of which is that the Byrds lose their lives in a car accident, and the whole finale is just the imagination of the dying Wendy. We believe in bondage. What happened to us here happened, the Ozark was never that mystical series, we could not have imagined a more earthy story.
If the makers were meant to shed light on life, and quite often not ordinary people come out of things well, then the mission was a success. In any case, we woke up in front of the screen in such a way that we were lucky enough to watch one of the best dramas of the modern age of Netflix. The streaming provider may never do a tougher series than this … But that we will be in dire need of this consistently high quality, the non-exaggerated, yet great acting game, the twisted story and Ozark as a venue … dead sure.
Ozark is available on Netflix with dubbing and Hungarian subtitles.
