We’re two weeks away from the first 7 episodes of Ozark season 4 (January 21). This final season has 14 episodes total, with the second batch of 7 being released sometime later this year.
Since we all watch at different speeds, please blur all episode spoilers (and note which episode it’s spoiling), at least for the first month to give people time to catch up.
We start season 4 with Ruth playing for the opposing team, and based on the preview, it looks like Jonah is too. Can’t wait!
Yeah, I’ve enjoyed the first 3 seasons of Ozark through all of its highly improbable twists and turns, but I no longer remember much of anything about how it ended up by the finish of S3, and I don’t feel much like rewatching S3 to catch up. I hope S4 starts out with a comprehensive recap.
BTW, it’s fun to imagine Jason Bateman’s Ozark character as Michael Bluth from Arrested Development with a new identity and family. His Ozark character has the same aspect of “thinking and acting like he’s a problem solver who’s smarter than everyone else in the room, but is not as smart as he thinks he is, and often gets into worse predicaments through his own actions”. Only, the predicaments are now much more murdery.
My guess this is going to be Laura Linney’s season to shine… not that she hasn’t been already, but that she takes the leading role in the crime family.
I turned the first episode off half way through when I realized I didn’t care about anything happening. Too long between season 3 and 4? Pretty good chance I go back at some point, but not today I guess.
The thing I like most about Ozark is that, at its heart, it is a tale of about how rich white urban Americans constantly fuck over poor rural Americans. "Oh, y’all doing this? Kk, it’s time for the experts and capital, you leave now.’
