skillzdadirecta Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 "Supersized" at that. Quote The saga of the Byrde family will soon be coming to an end after Netflix renewed Ozark for an expanded fourth and final season. The drama, which stars Jason Bateman, Laura Linney and Julia Garner, has been renewed for 14 final episodes with the season split into two seven-episode parts. The new season will mark the final chapter in the Byrde family’s journey from suburban Chicago life to their criminal enterprise in the Ozarks, particularly after that season three ending. So... Marty vs Wendy in season four? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I finally got around to this show earlier this year. It's great. Wasn't expecting it to end this soon, though. I figured they'd go for another 2-3 seasons. I grew up around the Ozarks, a lot of this hits home for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I’m glad they have the sense to bring it home before it breaks down along the narrative road. These high tension shows always jump the shark when they stay as long as some fans want them to stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Like Breaking Bad. These shows need to have an end game. Walking Dead should have met theirs years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Nice. I watched the first few episodes when it first aired, but didn’t stick with it. Shortly after season 3 came out, I gave it another shot, and got caught up in like a week. With the momentum they’ve had up to this point, it would have been really hard to keep it going indefinitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give that award to Prison Break. It would have made for a great one and done show but at the end of season 1 they were like, "Hey we got renewed!" and then extended the show for another...5 years?

Guest Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Finally got around to watching seasons 2 and 3. I really hate the Byrde’s fully now. I think having a sibling of my own that struggles with debilitating mental illness like Ben really pushed me over the edge. Up to that point you mostly had bad people meeting the fate they earned for themselves. I don’t even really want to see any more of the story.

Dre801 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I think 4 seasons is enough. I love the show, but I think the arc of the show can be wrapped up nicely in 4 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if nothing else stick around for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Seems like one problem after another. That PI cracks me up. And Wendy, whew, she's a lot. Well on her way to a complete psychotic snap.

Yeah I think Wendy is designed to be hated which means Laura Linney is doing an amazing job. I hated Walter White on Breaking Bad but still watched the show... I was more of a fan of Jesse. On Better Caul Saul, Jimmy is ok but he infuriates me sometimes. The thing with Jimmy and Jesse, they do fucked up shit but are at heart, good people who hurt themselves more than others. Walter and Wendy are ruthless sociopaths. That's the difference and it's also why they are so compelling to watch. Ruth is awesome too... she's more like Jesse in Breaking Bad and Marty is her Walter. Ironically the character Marty reminds me of the most is Ghost from Power on Starz. Those two have a lot in common in terms of motivation and how they operate. Ghost is a little more ruthless than Marty though. Intersting bit of trivia, Frank Jr. on Ozark was also on Power. He was Ghost's partner/slash brother/frenemy Tommy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 And Marty at least tries to get by with doing the least amount of damage. As unemotional as he is, I feel like there is a conscience. Wendy is just a cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I feel like Marty would be done with the whole thing and go back to just being a boring family man if he could. I think he has genuine remorse for putting his family into the situation they are in, even though I don't think he has any remorse for participating in criminal activity itself. Ruth quite clearly would love to get herself, Wyatt, and Three out of the awful world they were forced into by their upbringing. She was ready to give up the business she was building with Darlene since she now had enough money to create a new life for her family. Wendy pretends she wants the best for her family, but consistently does things to pull them deeper into harms way to gain more and more power. Something she has felt like she deserved for years and was sidelined by just being a wife and mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massdriver Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Good stuff. Just finished. Spoiler On a more specific note, scenes with Marty and Ruth cooperating in some minor way felt good. Marty pulling the gun and trying to stop the corporate soldier shows he does care. I lol’d at the wedding. How about those Wyatt and Darlene kissing scenes! Can’t wait to see how it all ends.
