Fans love to hate on Mel for little to no reason. He might act slightly annoying at times when he tries to get info out of the Byrdes but that's his job! He is a PI?! He wasn't deranged or crazy, yes he made mistakes in getting kicked off the force but all round he seems a decent guy. He wasn't a shithead like Agent Petty and wasn't an evil bitch like Wendy. He didn't really deserve to die for trying to get to the bottom of Bens death. Don't even get me started on why Jonah chose to shoot him. Most of the characters deserve the hate they get, but even if you were rooting for Marty and Wendy there was little reason to hate this guy.

Nathan Davis was the most annoying, evil, nasty, manipulative piece of shit in the whole show. Always acting high and mighty while simultaneously despising his daughter for little to no reason. Not to mention the abuse he put them through as a kid.

[NO SPOILER]

I am on my 1st rewatch. To me, this is one of the best shows ever on streaming, but I can't shake off the feeling:

16+ people can't just "disappear."

Like, Pastor Young and Grace both disappearing. Leaving their infant son. I understand deaths but the Byrdes are surrounded by so many disappearances?? Hello? Wouldn't that be nuclear and end them permanently?

For context I am diagnosed with OCD and depression.

A few months ago I watched Ozark, and quickly it became one of my favorite shows. But specifically because of the character Ruth Langmore. I watched some other cool shows as well like BrBa or BCS, and while they are indeed very good, no other character stood out to me like Ruth Langmore. There is just something very comforting about her. Her approach to life, her optimism, her big heart, it just made me very attached to her. And while I was watching the show, here comes the ending...a big slap to the face.

A few months pass and obviously I was still sad, but I got over it. But recently some circumstances in my life have made my depression and OCD worse. I started to think of the show and Ruth again for comfort, and obviously I remembered the ending too. But something has changed now. I can't get it out of my head. It just keeps looping over and over and it's killing me. From when I wake up till I go to sleep I get those images in my head of Ruth being shot. It's as if I am there too and can't do anything...and I get this suffocating feeling as well. I also woke up during the night once to that scene in my head and the feeling of suffocation.

I just don't understand why it happens. One theory of mine is that maybe I saw myself in that character and now my brain believes I am in danger too. And that kind of makes sense, because honestly I feel cursed too at the moment. I feel like I am done for, there's no hope, no way out and my end is near. Just like Ruth felt dead on the inside in the last few episodes, I feel the same. I can barely function. I tried going out with some friends, thinking I would maybe get out of this loop, but nope. It was just as bad and I also made these people worry about me, they asked if I was fine, I just said I am tired. Not sure they believed me.

I keep telling myself that it's just a show, none of it is real, I also tried to imagine some alternate endings, and while that has helped a little, it didn't do much. Those images of Ruth getting killed feel way to real, it's like I am there too, I can't explain it. And it hurts so much, it's like torture.

I'm starting to think maybe I am cursed as well. No matter what I do, or how hard I try, I am doomed. I have some goals I want to achieve, some things I want to do in this life, and I want to achieve them before I go. But I don't know if that's possible. I just feel that somehow I will meet my end soon, for some reason (against my will). I want to live and do these things...but it feels like a fantasy.

So, that's it. I just wish Ruth survived, dude. Fuck this shit. Peace.

After Wendy visited Omar Navarro, she stopped by her old house and did a bunch of odd things like arrange the bed, turn a photo frame upside down .. etc. She is so unhinged!

What did you think of Wendy’s antics?

Black Rabbit had some of Ozark's similarities.

Jason Bateman stars, executive produces and directs the first two episodes

Laura Linney also directs two episodes

An 8 episode Crime Thriller

What did you think of Black Rabbit?

Thoughts on Rachel Garrison?!

[NO SPOILER] I’ve just started rewatching Ozark for like the 7th time.
Who is your most hated character and why? And also who is your favorite character and why?
My most hated is Ben. He is such an annoying t**ty baby. Everytime he’s on screen I just start seething lol
My favorite has to be Ruth. She is so strong willed and so much smarter than she gives herself credit for.

The house was still almost a hot set at the time he filmed this tour. He also shows the top floor, which I think is never seen in the show, only from the outside.

And there is another house tour (also with the owner present) that has more footage of the outside of the house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PDqh6BA0hg

The house on google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/7ZdeJvqXtxk51QsWA

A fucking cunt.

Is darlene dying the most satisfactory moment in the series?

The amount of people on here talking about how annoying he is, how angry they are that he’s screwing everything up and needed to be killed is wild to me. Out of all the terrible shit the people they are rooting for have done, people still wanna be mad about a mentally ill bystander who was dragged into their mess. He cared deeply for Ruth and his family. He didn’t wanna see them hurt. Lack of empathy in my opinion from some people watching this show.

A few years ago while watching random Ozark clips, I came across the clip where Charlotte is smoking a joint at the table in the house. Marty and Wendy have a back and forth with Charlotte and at the end she says "As far as I'm concerned the both of you can dissolve in a vat of acid"

At the time I was watching Ozark, I scrolled the comment section and somebody said: " Damn that line from Charlotte is cold knowing how it ends..."

Of course I immediately thought I spoiled myself and finished the series as fast as I could. I remember thinking how is this going to end? Are Marty and Wendy really gonna be dissolved in a vat of acid, or maybe even Charlotte herself as punishment from the cartel?

The last few episodes came around and I was wondering when the shit was going to go down, even in the last episode I was waiting for exactly that to happen but nothing really happened.

So in the end I didn't spoil myself, and was extra disappointed because of the expectation I had. I don't even know what the comment means or what it is referring to right now.

You remember that show where Jessica Biel kills somebody on the beach? That was season 1 of The Sinner, binged it recently and was delightfully surprised to see Pastor Mason Young show up in its last season back on the boat lol

He plays Colin Muldoon, the characters are fairly different actually but when it comes to religion the actor basically puts on his Pastor Mason Young hat again, the picture shows him trying to use religion to “save” his niece Percy Muldoon who season 4 of The Sinner is centered around. His cadence in this scene specifically reminds you so much of Mason, and it doesn’t seem like the actor had played many other religious roles so this was pretty cool to see. Wouldn’t be surprised if the producers were big Ozark fans

Jason Bateman brings some of his Ozark chops to The Outsider. He is a director of two episodes, and executive producer and an actor in 4 Episodes of the HBO Miniseries.

Have you watched The Outsider? What did you think of it?

Does anyone know where I can get wildflower seed mix? Something that covers year round preferably. I am not a huge fan of the grass lawns. At the minimum I need something like pirouette microclover that doesn't need mowed at all. Even vegtables, something that stays grown year round, even if a bit on the tall side is better than grass.

I'm around the Williford area in the ozarks- so preferably some more local store.

Thank you in advance.

Just finished all 4 seasons of Ozark, and then watched A Farewell to Ozark. Honestly, the farewell special made it hit differently. Seeing the characters and story being talked about like that really made me feel, yeah, this is actually the end.

Ozark was such an amazing journey for me. It took some patience for me to connect with the story at first. Season 1 felt a little slow and heavy, but slowly it pulled me in, and I became really attached to the characters and the story.

The story kept getting bigger and more intense with the casino, the FBI, the Snells, Wendy, Marty, Ruth and everything happening around them. There were so many WOW moments.

I especially loved watching Marty trying to protect his family while constantly getting pulled into bigger problems. I also really liked how Wendy and Marty started thinking differently. Sometimes I felt like Wendy wanted more power, while Marty mostly wanted to find a way to protect his family and get through everything. I kept thinking, “Marty, just do something!” 😂

Buddy was one of my favorite characters. I loved his attitude, especially the way he pushed Marty to stop thinking and just act. Honestly, I felt the same way while watching—I kept wanting Marty to just take action and do what he knew needed to be done.

There were so many moments where I understood Marty, especially the scene with Charlotte where he talks about how whatever he does, Wendy gets upset. I really felt for him because he was constantly stuck between protecting his family and dealing with Wendy's decisions.

And Ben's story hit me really hard. I genuinely didn't want things to end that way for him.

And then the ending… Ruth's death really hurt. I didn't always like some of the things Ruth did, but I really didn't want her to die. I kept hoping Marty would somehow do something to protect her. That's probably why the ending didn't completely satisfy me. I wanted Ruth to survive.

And that final scene… I didn't see it coming, but I actually loved how it ended.

I liked the ending, even though it wasn't exactly the ending I wanted. Overall, I really loved the journey—the characters, the tension, the story, and all those moments that made me genuinely care about what happened to them.

Ozark — 8.5/10. ❤️🎬

So I decided to rewatch Ozark and I’m currently in season 3 episode 3. Seasons 1 and 2 were kind of hazy for me especially the preacher and agent petty plots but now season 3 is very fresh on my mind. I have some takes and I wanna know what you guys think!

1) Marty knew the danger of the Snells, literally warned the preacher that he needs to go back on the water. He doesn’t. His wife is murdered. Somehow it’s Marty’s fault.

2) The preacher tries to kidnap Wendy. Marty tells him the cops aren’t coming. The preacher tries to take Wendy with him, Marty kills him. Now this is the turning point because I think Marty lost his edge at that moment.

3) Cade killing Petty out of anger was a bad end for Petty. He was absolutely insane but I thought he added a “I’m gonna get them” aspect to the show. His death kinda added up to nothing.

4) (I’m not to this part of the season but I know what’s coming) Marty told Wendy MULTIPLE times to send her brother home… and we all know what happens in the end.

Marty is not perfect but I think he knew the danger that came with the job immediately. He knew that anyone could die and he tried to save people but no one listened to him.

i binged Ozark in a couple weeks. i absolutely loved it until season 4. i was so lost the entire time. it kind of seemed like they had to hurry and throw some sort of ending together.

but my hot take is: i would have actually liked the ending if it was Wendy that died instead of Ruth.

Wendy is absolutely insufferable. her constant nagging and screeching made me want to be deaf. i would have felt like it would have been a good ending if the soulless, evil (insert explicative of your choice) had been removed from everyone’s lives and they could all go on peacefully.

Ruth was a real one. the extinction of the Langmore’s was a bit unnecessary IMO. i would have liked them to have had more to do within the story. also, why did Three barely exist? why even have him if literally no one cared about him?

anyway. still a good show. just some opinions.

Knowingly going against sound advice and dangerously acting on her own interests. Only she disguised it as an attempt to secure the family's safety vs personal self interests. Then justifying it later with her family. She saw Ben doing this repeatedly throughout life. Maybe a learned behavior, maybe a genetic trait or symptom of her own impairment?
