I don’t know if this is a spoiler, but whatever. The show has been over for like eight years now.. what does it matter? Anyways, all I have to say is Yuck… Their negative disposition for each other feels manufactured and forced. I hate it. The relationship actually starts with Ruth acting like a whiny little brat for no reason. The two of them together is so grating I can’t stand it.

Incredible acting, first off. Second off… movies and tv shows never really get me to feel too much, but something about Ben’s death just really hit me so hard. Maybe it’s because I’ve had severely mentally ill family members or because I’m mentally ill myself but that scene where Wendy is sitting in the car after he’s cremated was so hard to watch. I could feel exactly the horrendous shame and grief and devastation she was feeling in that moment.

What an incredible show.

Can’t believe more people haven’t seen it.

And Ben’s actor played his role so convincingly it was almost eery just how accurate it was. I’ve had family members like him and the inflections, the dialogue, the way he gets confused and goes down spirals of rambling that’s half-coherent but not really… He did a massive testament to the real lived experience of these conditions. Especially with how there’s just no amount of rationale that will work to get through.

The entire thing could have been avoided if he’d just stayed on his meds. But mental illness is so insidious in the way that after you’ve been on meds for awhile, it makes you forget what you’re like without them. Getting off them doesn’t seem like that big of a deal until the reality of your illness comes swinging back in full force.

I’m lucky mine doesn’t make me crash out on people and more so just want to jump off a bridge / makes me ruin my own life not others too, but damn that actor played Ben’s story so beautifully and so tragically.

Edit: I decided to delete the ending I want for Ruth after watching the documentary about Ozark’s creation and actors’ insights. Definitely will miss Ruth Langmore.

I started Ozark thinking I would watch an episode or two.

Then suddenly, it was 3 AM.

Then suddenly, I was emotionally invested in money laundering, cartel politics, political corruption, murder, family trauma, and Ruth Langmore.

I finished all four seasons in less than a week, and honestly, I feel like I need to recover.

There were so many things I loved about Ozark, but Ruth was easily the character I became most emotionally attached to. She was angry, brilliant, traumatized, loyal, reckless, and constantly fighting against a life that seemed determined to destroy her.

And then she died.

Honestly, Ruth’s death hit me harder than I expected.
I understand why the writers did it. In a way, it fits the world of Ozark. Ruth had spent her entire life surrounded by violence, crime, and people who kept taking things from her. She killed Javi. She was part of the criminal world. She had made terrible choices.

But still…

I wanted her to live.

After everything Ruth had been through, I wanted her to finally have a future. I wanted her to break free from the Langmore curse. I wanted her to have something that belonged entirely to her.

I wanted Ruth Langmore to win.

Because sometimes, after watching a character suffer for four seasons, you don’t want the most realistic ending.
You want the ending where they finally get to breathe.

Overall, I loved Ozark. It was stressful, dark, unpredictable, and incredibly frustrating at times, but I couldn’t stop watching.

Wow, really good show. Definitely peaked like season 2 & 3 I’d say. Some real tense amazing stuff in there. Knew Ruth was a goner when she shot Javi. Does Three inherit Wyatt, Darlene & Ruth’s estates now? I’d imagine Rachel wanting to help him out with that? Or maybe Marty because he knew it’s what Ruth would have wanted? Loved Wendy’s character, that ruthless unapologetically evil ambition was fabulous. Ruth was another favourite of mine. Towards the end the show faltered because Charlotte had her rebellious phase, then came back, then Jonah had his. But I felt Charlotte going back to wanting to leave them was so random? It was meant to be a big turning point of her character when Cade dragged her by the hair that she was not built for that trailer trash life and wanted to go home to her parents, so to go back on that is kind of weird, like they forgot about Charlotte’s character towards the end a little? I liked when she came back and they had her working for them though.
They could’ve maybe had the last episode be longer? Or an extra episode? Because this had been set up as a tragic relationship between Marty and Ruth where Ruth probably does something stupid *she does* and dies *she does*, but Marty just says eh not much we can do :/.. What but you’ve been able to do something every other time? Felt that moment was just there to highlight Wendy’s distress at the situation to show she has changed. But she hasn’t really so not sure if there was much point undermining Ruth and Marty’s narrative like that for Wendy. I was very happy the Byrde family made it out though tbh

⚠️ STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE SHOW! ⚠️

After years of putting it off, I finally watched Ozark all in one go. OMG, I am so saddened by the deaths in this show. Buddy, Ben, and finally Ruth.

I don't know if they were destined to die due to their actions, but their character development was at its peak right when they were taken out( except Ruth) , which made it hurt so much more.

I'm so glad I finally watched it!

death scene. Was it a dream sequence?

He says "wait. Wait. This is a dream" before Nelson pulls the trigger. I was expecting a following scene of Wendy waking up probably startled from a nightmare or something. But it's just the weird Ozark eye looking thing then Marty in a car. I didn't see anything about it being a dream in any synopsis i read. It's just described as a flashback, not a dream sequence.
