It is difficult to separate from certain series and series characters. Serial killer Dexter was one of them. He recently came out of obscurity for a season to hand over to his son. The death of the warrior “Lagertha” in “Vikings” disturbed us, as did that of the good man of God Beocca in the Viking series “The Last Kingdom”. On Game of Thrones, we said goodbye to almost every character as if they were siblings, and we would have done most of the last episode's deaths very differently. The last heavy swallow comes with Ozark. With the second half of season four, we must say "goodbye" to the Byrde family and their companions and adversaries. And fear for their survival.

Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams' "Ozark" was one of Netflix's absolute hits of 2017, a thriller series with a dark spirit, spirit and temper that was superbly written, acted and directed. A good man and his family are thrown down the wrong path when business partner and friend of financial adviser Marty Byrde thinks he can scam a Mexican drug cartel.
Marty Byrde owed his life to his presence of mind
It is thanks to his talent as an improviser that Marty Byrde remained alive. His promise to launder hundreds of millions of Mafia funds at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri proved to be not so easy to keep.

Because the locals, who were supposed to be averse to crime, were smart guys and women who didn't want their own shady deals thwarted by newcomers. They didn't want to give a crumb of the cake. The Byrdes, smart Marty (Jason Bateman) and nimble Wendy (Laura Linney), always cut big chunks.
In "Ozark", people preferably died unexpectedly
In this series, passengers were thrown unexpectedly across the Jordan River – like in “Game of Thrones”, the “mother of all series” known for its reckless management of essential personnel according to viewers. Characters far too "exciting" by our conventional understanding of serial drama were transported beyond television in the blink of an eye in "Ozark."
Did anyone expect the execution of Helen Pierce (Janet McTeer), the lawyer for powerful cartel boss Omar Navarro (Felix Solis), by the end of Season 3? Everyone agreed that moody local drug lord Darlene Snell (Lisa Emery) was long ripe for death. But we don't like the fact that his adorable lover Wyatt (Charlie Tahan) was violently killed by Navarro's nephew, Javi (Alfonso Herrera). We chewed him up at least as hard as his cousin Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner), our favorite 'Ozark' character, an indomitable fighter who now wants to step out of private existence once and for all in the trailer lately. . meters in the series. And in fact, he has a good chance…

The Byrdes strive to return to their old life
The situation at the beginning of part 2 of the fourth season: The Byrdes struggle to return to their old life, far from the drug mafia, the corrupt provincial politicians, the beautiful but menacing Ozarks. They've set a course so they can just be parents to two kids again in a completely normal urban environment, no longer having to worry about someone stepping out of the shadows and pointing a gun at them. So they really start improvising again.
As always in Ozark, one problem solved spawns two new ones, while old skeletons begin to rumble in the Byrdes' closet. Trusty detective Mel Sattem (Adam Rothenberg was Captain Homer Jackson in the thriller series "Ripper Street") searches first for Helen, then for Wendy's brother Ben (Tom Pelphrey). He becomes an evil thorn in the flesh of the Byrdes. However, Ruth becomes a spear in her heart when she strikes down the heir to the cartel at the end of the first new episode. Javi's death is harder to conceal than a twenty-foot monkey falling from the Empire State Building. But if anyone can do it, the Byrdes can.

The conclusion of "Ozark" shows more than ever that this story, beyond its very gripping gangster setting, is above all a family saga. Ruth struggles to recover from Wyatt's death. And Navarro's sister, Camila (Veronica Falcón), doesn't take her son Javi's death as lightly as she leads Marty to believe. The Byrde children Charlotte (Sofia Hublitz) and Jonah (Skylar Gaertner) increasingly turn their backs on mother Wendy, who during the mafia entanglements has proven to be the parents' coldest soul, who has no not read much when it came to To let the obstacle jump over the blade.
When Wendy's Bible-believing father believes he must free his grandchildren from his daughter's clutches through a court order, and the children are open about it, Wendy begins the battle the most important in his life.

Richard Thomas plays the grandfather – who was once John-Boy Walton
As a viewer, you are initially on Grandpa's side. He seems to want to do everything for Jonah and Charlotte - and plays none other than Richard Thomas. The serial maniac, well versed in TV history, still recognizes the classic series' inexperienced John Boy behind the Seven Mountains Are All Kind to Each Other "The Waltons" (1972-1981) by Bright Eyes , these young A man who said “Good night, cow, good night, horse!” in the stable in the evening, then wrote the family chronicle by the light of the kerosene lamp in his poor farm room.
Only this time, the gleam in Richard Thomas' eyes doesn't seem euphoric, but self-righteous and ultimately bigoted. Family secrets are revealed, revealing the real monster behind the monstrous Wendy. You sort out your sympathies again. There are some incredibly touching scenes. The perpetrators become recognizable as victims.
And the victims become the executioners. There really is a lot of death in the later “Ozark” episodes. People die believing themselves to be invulnerable, giving them an incredulous expression in their final seconds. And people we thought were invulnerable are dying, which gives us that look on our faces.
Two shots are fired in the farewell episode, which we wish we hadn't heard, which we think it would have been better not to do, which we disagree with. The echo of which will keep the series in our heads. Binging “Ozark,” a series about the traps of greed, was worth it — the whole distance.
