I haven’t drank in six years…and it was just released. Calm down weirdo.
Ozark The end
- Thread starter Catfan in Tn.
- Start date
I need her death to be 100% clear. I believe in Justice.
Just remember, in the words of Costanza, it's not a lie......if you believe it. Go ahead, allow Wendy to get what she deserves.....in your mind.
I thought it ended fine. It could’ve been worse. It was a long way from Game of Thrones or Bloodline bad.
I loved Bloodline. The ending must have been terrible because I can't even remember what happened.
I think the main character pretty much told his boss all the bad stuff he did and the sheriff pretty much said whatever and swept it under the rug.
Thank you for your advice and kind words. But it’s about respect. She needs to die in my mind and in the show.
I must say, that face, or smirk, is pure wickedness. I can only imagine the evil she will practice in the future. But Marty still loves her which is all you need to know about him.
I disagree, many shows have a great narrative that ends very well. Look at breaking bad. Had a perfect setup and ending, didn’t go past what the creator wanted even due to how popular it was. I expect Better Call Saul will end in a signal fashion. Well written, concise, and to the point.
I’m gonna miss the show due to the simple fact that it’s one of only about 3 Netflix shows that have been any good the last 5 years. They have woked up so much crap it’s either terrible or anything that has potential gets ended after 1-2 seasons with no resolution. It makes me so mad. Produce 10-12 good shows and see them thru instead of 100 that get 1 season.
Ending felt oddly rushed. Like they somehow ran out of runway.
Actress that plays Ruth is amazing. I assumed she was a real red neck until I saw a clip of her on some late night talk show. Couldn't believe it. No she isn't overly attractive but so what. Amazing transformation.
Wendy sucked. Was basically Skyler 2.0 for me

If there was a show that was the exact opposite of concise and to the point, it would be Better Call Saul.
I tend to agree with this. It has gotten better since more cartel business has been introduced but not nearly as epic as BB was.
I agree with the other poster that BB had a great ending. I wasn't saying it was impossible but simply that Ozarks ending failed to do its job.
Exactly.....she was the most disgusting character in a show of disgusting characters....nothing redeemable about her....they let her live ruined it for me...wasted my time
No....I wanted Wendy tortured and gutted cartel style.
Yeah thats why i thought the ending was fitting.
The Byrde's will continue to be the Byrde's and that Jonah was done with his rebellion and is back in the fold.
Marty was always one step ahead of the game.
I always thought that it would end with Marty and at least with some of the family getting out but instead it ended with him being at the apex of his(and Wendy's) power.
At first I was disappointed. Then I read what the showrunner wrote (and who was shot at the end).
The Byrdes were never going to get out of anything. No matter what they do, there is always someone else to complicate things. Either they end like they did or everyone died (which wouldn't have been a bad ending).

Wendy dying would have been great....awesome actually
Loved the series but didn't care for the end. Like others, I was hoping Wendy got what she deserved, and I was hoping Ruth would be able to enjoy her money.
All in all, a very good series but the ending did kinda suck.

It actually ruined it for me. I guess Linney had a lot of pull on the show or something.
Every orher character but her at at least some redeeming quality. The that she lived killed it for me. Won't watch it if they come up with a movie or something. Not wasting any more time on it.
I dug the ending fine. Of course endings like Breaking Bad that tie everything up and "justice" being served are great, but film and tv have been moving away from traditional happy endings. Nothing will stop the Byrde family and I liked Marty's little smile when he realized Jonah had the families' back. Ruth was motivated by revenge and took her shot without thinking. You best hire some security if you kill anyone involved with a cartel. Ruth was more preoccupied with her pool and that nasty couch.

I hated Wendy so I agree. However on more thought her eventually realizing she was actually the cause of all their problems might've been more satisfying.
For several episodes she thought she was really the catalyst, just to find out actually everything she touched turned to ****. That dose of reality for someone like her was probably almost as brutal
Nope. She never considered anyone else ever. Had her own brother killed. Tried to have her son busted. Backstabbed her husband and family at every turn. Despicable person in every way. Marty should have let them throw her out the window in the 1st episode. Nasty person all the way around.
This has been one of my all-time favorite shows, but like others have said, I didn’t love the ending.
Thought the Byrd’s might seize the opportunity to have Navarro killed in the transfer AND call the hit in on his sister simultaneously. Would’ve left the situation in chaos for the cartel AND the FBI and maybe given the Byrd’s a chance to slip out.
However, given the way they chose to take it - while I didn’t like Ruth’s end - I get it. Cartel wouldn’t have let her live. Wendy is EVIL personified. Couldn’t stand her by the end. Would’ve loved to see the outcome had she died in the car crash and the other Byrd’s lived. Was hoping she bit the bullet right up to the final scene, but no.
The show creators chose to run with their false narrative - the rich getting richer and the poor always getting screwed. In reality, all social classes are getting better off, albeit admittedly at a different pace. I’m seeing more and more class warfare in TV and movies and I don’t like it. Capitalism is far from a perfect system, it’s just by far the best.

Well said. She would go on to do terrible things and how Marty can love her I don’t understand. Maybe he doesn’t, but he’s too scared to cross her or even just leave her. I probably would be. She’d stop at nothing.
Marty is such a whipped guy. No ability to defend his own against her. Charlotte and Jonah becoming them is why the mom needs ended. She's a cancer to all of them.
Fade to black. Jonah points the gun at Wendy and calmly pulls the trigger. Before all of Wendy's head pieces could hit the ground, Jonah said "It was for the best, Mom". Everyone busts out laughing and a group hug ensues. The End.
I really liked the show. I thought the first season didn't depict how ruthless the Mexican cartels actually are. The ending was a little disappointing. I thought Ruth's character was awesome. As far as Wendy's character goes, I've never been a fan of Laura Linney no matter what role she plays.
LL is either very unlikable or she just does a great job playing unlikable characters. Couldn’t stand her is Ozark and The Truman show, but didn’t mind her in the John Adams series or Mystic River.
Everyone here should check out the other thread “Film Fans - Greatest Movies.” Been going since last summer and is a fun off-season topic.
Yeah, I think the cartel would have got rid of the snells pretty quick. Especially after the killed Del.
There wasn't one likable character on the show, maybe save Rachel. I couldn't wait to be done with the last season so I'd never have to watch it again. What a waste of time!
I liked Navarro haha
I liked Ruth. The f bombs were flying, that's for sure, but she seemed a product of her environment. She was trying to be clean but I think she knew it would never work out. Maybe she felt she really didn't deserve the money and better life.
