Omg this is my 4th time watching Ozark and I see something new every time I watch it. Spoilers welcome as I’ve said I’ve seen the show 3 times with this being my 4th.

So in season 2 episode 9, when Jacob and Darlene Snell take their final walk on their land before it’s being built upon, I noticed Jacob pocketed the pearing knife! The first 3 times I watched this show I never noticed he did that!!! He was going to kill Darlene, But she was one step ahead with the cherry pits(cyanide). Wow it’s crazy how much is missed. It’s almost as if you have to watch the show a bunch of times to catch everything! My mind is blown, anybody else catch that?

I'm currently rewatching the show and am on season 2. This was prime Wendy in my opinion. She did so much of the leg work for Marty and if it wasn't for her, they wouldn't have made it past season 1. And let's get into the acting. Laura Linney acted her ass off in this role. I literally clap at the end of some of the scenes, lol.

Is this not what makes the series so good and standout more? Not the boring you love every character and everything works out for them. It’s a good show because it triggers all your emotions and makes you have these real life conversations because we can all relate to having people like Wendy in real our lives that we hate and no matter how much we want them to change they don’t and just get worse. I hate her too but it’s a nice change from the norm of how shows usually go. I hope for the people who stopped watching because of her finish for the show and not let a fictional but real life relatable character stop them from enjoying it.

So I've only seen Ozark once fully through and it was when it originally aired. I still go back and watch some of my favorite scenes and it always reminds me how much I love this show! I finally have some open time to do a binge watch so I am about to dive into it over this whole week.

I was curious if there's anything interesting you guys noticed when you re-watched that you may have missed the first time. I love noticing things like that when I re-watch some of my favorite shows and wouldn't mind a list of things to keep an eye out for that help explain or set up some events down the line.

I think in the binge watch it will probably be pretty cool to see the whole show flow and I love noticing little tidbits. Let me know what you guys noticed, if anything cool or interesting!

I'm sure this has been said a bunch of times before but I'm on first watch and holy fuck is this thing bigger on the inside. I'm on s04e01 and there's this shot showing a side bar that would 1000% be 75ft outwith the side of the boat if viewed from the outside

I don't know if this is the general consensus, but Wendy in the later seasons is truly despicable.

Why didn't the Byrdes turn the US government on Javi and Navarro when Javi killed the Sheriff?

Earlier in s4, they used the drone footage of the botched drop off to give the US government evidence to take down the Lagunas cartel. Later, Javi murders the sheriff in Helen's house when he comes looking for her. They could have used this crime to have the US government go after Navarro, essentially removing the threat from their family. Navarro even mentions to Javi that it could blow back on them. They even would have had video evidence, had Marty not deleted it while he was cleaning Helen's place. They could have instead just given it to the FBI in exchange for not prosecuting them for momoney laundering or their other crimes.

You'd think Wendy would want to get back at Navarro after her brother was killed, instead of helping him further. You'd also think Marty would feel resentful after Navarro kidnapped him and locked him in a dungeon for a few days. Why do they instead bow to him, when getting out from under him is supposed to be their first priority?

I hate everything about Ruth.

1. I hate her sass

2. I hate her accent

3. I hate how entitled she is

4. I hate the way she looks, acts all tough despite looking and having the build of a 13 year old girl. Her hair looks terrible, her skin is too sickly and pale white, looks like a vampire or a corpse.

5. I hate how she is forced down our throats on almost every single major plot point.

Tldr: I hate her lol, fair play to anyone that likes her, personally I just couldn't stand her.

Camilla’s deal with the FBI needs Ruth to launder the cartel’s money. The Byrds are out. I would think Camilla would put her interest ahead of vengeance. That ending didn’t make sense.

Hi,

I started Ozark recently and like the picture is so dark somehow on my TV. I watch it on Netflix, I have to increase brightness on my TV. Is it maybe just cause lot of night scenes or do i need to change my TV color settings?

Also, I love the episode discussions, the people are so funny. I love it so much, it's like I watch the show with my friends or something.

Thanks Take care

I probably wasn't paying attention during whatever episode this was. The Byrde's have the Honda Odyssey and Buddy's Datsun. At some point in season 2, they also have a blue Oldsmobile. Where did that one come from again?

Can someone please explain how Marty is "washing" the money? I get the part where he's making it seem legitimate, but if he spent, say, a million fixing up the Blue Cat Lodge, wouldn't that million just be gone? Also, they keep spending so much money on stuff. Where is it coming from? They can't skim, that what got Bruce killed, and they emptied their accounts to pay off the 8 million.

Watched and loved Ozark plus BB, BCS, The Wire and The Sopranos.

Im rewatching rn S4E8

All the crazy shit he does aside, his character is sooo annoying. The way he speaks and his mannerisms drive me insane, if thats all intentional by the actor then props to him but fukkk i hate the character. He’s a spoiled brat but with guns and a cartel like shut uppp little boy!!!

Wendy is also horrible this season but at least she has some class, Javi is just horrible and annoying.

But also the way S4 writing is so wack compared to the first two seasons, like why was Darlene suddenly in need to clean money with offshore accounts?? What were her and Jacob doing before?

Love the show tho Wendy and Ruth are really having an actor off

edit: yayyy he died But noo Ruth :(

Incredible piece of music

I am late to the Ozark party. I was recently recommended the show and have been hooked, bingeing the hell out if it.

A very impactful segment was with Ben and Wendy on the road, leading to his demise. The acting is utterly incredible by both Laura Linney and Tom Pelphrey. The vulnerability shown by Pelphrey is heartbreaking. Also, the frustration from Linney is something that anyone who has pulled their hair out over a troubled family member can empathise with. This was truly emotional and gut-wrenching in a show awash with great acting.

The soundtrack song "Ben's Body" is absolutely astonishing. This is one of the saddest most emotional pieces of music I have ever heard. The composer has produced a masterpiece.

On a lighter note I spat my coffee out when Charlotte - smoking weed in the kitchen - is asked where her brother is by her parents.

"Probaly in his room landering money." 😀

What a great show.

If anyone can recommend another show of this quality I am all ears.

Cheers

Im a Brb fan and finished it in 2021. My sister suggested me to watch Ozark and said it is similar to BrB, is it correct? Should i watch Ozark?

Hello everyone,

I recently started watching Ozark and was really impressed by Ruth's accent. I also noticed that her father and Ben have a similar one, so I assume it might be specific to a certain region. I'm not a native English speaker, so I was wondering: what type of accent does she have? Also, do you have any tips for practicing or improving this accent myself? I really enjoy it.

Thank you very much!

Did she really have to be killed off though???

For me it has to be Ben. I just about cried. And Wyatt. He had done nothing except try and do the right thing. And Ruth... I get why, but I SO wanted her to get her happily ever after 😭

I feel Wendy & Buddy had one of the best relationship on the show. Their talks, thoughts, matching of wavelengths, etc. I feel it was Wendy alone that heavily influenced Buddy into doing all that he has done.

I observed something while watching this show for the 3rd time in the past year. Did Ruth ever really care about Three? She plotted her revenge against Javi and in one scene you see Three telling Ruth over the phone, that Wyatt would hate this, just please come home. Why would she jeopardize her own life if she cared at all about three. She knew there would be repercussions from killing Javi. So did Ruth really ever care about Three? Thoughts?

What an insufferable bitch. First cheats, then take all the money from family to give it to lover...where was her love for her son n daughter then?? Even though she knew everything , For some old dick??

Then the bitch had the audacity to just spill poison to the kids against their father. Oh also punching the dude for calling out her infidelity. I was really hoping cartel would throw her off the building along with her geriatric ass lover. Fucking bitch , i hope she dies in season 1 ending.

I just started season 1, and i really had to get this out of my mind. What a fucking piece of shit she is.

EDIT: Skylar from breaking bad was a complex character imo. This ones a straight up bitch. Please atleast tell me she gets slapped for her bullshits after someone directly calling them out at her face, atleast some kind of punishment for all the absolute fucking disgusting and illogical and selfish decisions.

One scene i felt better, when the police wanted the family to pay after their daughter was involved with langmore cousin. But the next thing, the bitch wants to fucking "invest" in real estate.

EDIT 2: i fuckin love ruth. Shes cunning yet has a sweetness to her. But gotta say, marty has one of the shittiest luck ever.

EDIT 3: Wendy is kinda growing on me. Ngl. She picks up on things where Marty misses. Also....DARLENE...WHAT THE FUCKK! Someone need to blow that woman's head off with a shotgun. Seriously what the fuck.
