The Snell character was comedically bad. It's hard not to laugh when a clearly Scottish man is grunting things like "you come in here with yo big words, Marty Biiird".

And obviously conflict is part of storytelling, but it felt a little like Silicon Valley in the sense that the entire story was "here's a big problem and they're all going to die, okay problem solved, but wait, now there's another big problem and they're all gonna die, rinse, repeat." Somehow Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are able to pull that off without me rolling my eyes.

I enjoyed the Ruth/Marty relationship.

- Yeah, additionally, Ruth's father served no real purpose to the narrative. It's like the writers thought she needed extra motivation to kill Marty, when she already had plenty. It was so pointless and over the top, with next to no payoff.

To me, the purpose was to show that her dad never treated her right and never believed in her, while Marty and his family took care of her and believed in her. The "I kind of want to kill him, but he's also kind of a father figure to me" storyline was great.

The FBI agent was unnecessarily bizarre.

Finally got around to watching this.... finished the series last night


Idk if I've ever hated a character as much as Wendy byrde. She is just absolute trash


Kate from lost comes close but I think Wendy takes the cake

You haven't watched Breaking Bad, apparently.
Skyler White will go down in the books as one of the most hated entertainment characters of all time

Wow, it doesn't feel like it was 2017-18 when Ozark first was released. The middle seasons of that show hit its stride, and unfortunately tapered off into a dull thud by the series finale. Still, acting was very good

I never understood the hate for Skyler.

Breaking bad was gonna be next but if it's worse than Wendy Byrde I'm gonna hold off


Thanks for the heads up

10000% watch breaking bad

Finished breaking bad last night... first 2 seasons were meh but glad I stuck with it


Also I didn't hate Skylar at all.... I felt bad for her... the biggest piece of **** in the show is Walt



Wendy Byrde is way more trash than Skylar


Overall I think I liked ozark more than BB, but they were both good
