It’s pretty realistic that Wendy wins at the end. Power hungry individuals that drag themselves to the end (w/ their trauma & all) usually get their way. Wendy had a very high tolerance to risk & absurd situations.
Show did a great job of showing how a woman can be more calculated then a man due to trauma. Like Camila also. Yet showing us the impulsiveness of Darlene and Ruth not being able to bury it being their down fall.
I loved Ozark. But it is amazing how many of the things that you have pointed out in this series that I forgot about or just flew over my head. Thanks for these videos, I really enjoy them. Any chance that you would consider doing something like this for Peaky Blinders? I am sure I have missed a ton of things in that series too! 😃
I saw someone say before that it's crazy how much actually happens in the show, like episode to episode. If you don't re-watch it you're going to forget a lot of it.
I feel the same way as you I think the more I watched the more all their shenanigans , the more it all became normal 😂but I am a child of trauma I have a dissociative disorder and PTSD
Blaming the Byrd family for all the langmore and Snell deaths is like blaming your drug dealer for your addiction. Actions have consequences. Darlene and ruth made some daft decisions that got them killed. They were not innocent collateral
You ought to not drug deal if you dont wanna take blame for being a drug dealer. I mean have you met drug dealers? Irl? They definitely encourage and enable drug addicts to keep being addicts until they die.
The parallel you talk about re Navarro and the Byrds and the number of children - the Byrds had 3 children - the baby they lost in the first car crash.
I've watched the four of these and your insight about people is almost alarming. As a therapy junkie I don't run into that every day. The flawless narration and production values make it a breezy, entertaining watch.
I too felt sick at the ending, seeing the complete transformation of Jonah. For a while I thought he was kind of annoying. But that ending was so tragic. As a parent to see parents grooming their kids into a life of crime is terrifying. At the end, Wendy was as abusive as her father. Not physically but emotionally to the point that Jonah would kill for them. Your series of videos on Ozarks is the best I have watched. Ozarks is such a great show. I’ll miss new seasons, but it had to end and this ending was so surprising and tragic, it was perfection.
Oh my gosh this was so helpful!!! Knew that I really liked it but I also knew I wasn't really following all of it for sure. Plus it doesn't help that I watch on a regular laptop PC, so I think I'm missing some visual. For example when you described the significance of Ruth seeing the two bobats crossing the street, I still couldn't tell that's what they were even after watching a couple more times! When I was watching the first time I thought maybe she was having some kind of vision...they looked like deer maybe but nothing developed from that later so I just let it go. Thanks for talking about the name Byrde, I knew it had to have signficance, I watched it alone and didn't have anyone to talk it out with. One thing that kept shouting in my head was WENDY BIRD like in Peter Pan. I guess we aren't supposed to look for any parallels. Also, I agree with people who didn't like how dark so many scenes were. And, Zeke, I think I do remember that he got taken back to foster care somehow, again, right?
So, you talked about the old footage being brought back of the garden and the clip of them looking at the office space in Chicago, in the first episode. I see where the garden being mentioned comes up after the fact. But honestly I thought there was going to be some weird sinister thing bc Marty mentions the windows twice, once in that flashback. Maybe the lover's death the first time but then why the second time?
I think the reason why Wendy became so power hungry was because of her getting Ben killed. She wanted his death to mean something and didn’t want to lose everything for nothing. Also I find her saying that “I’m not going to stop until I know it’s impossible”, a good reversal of when she was telling Omar that it was impossible over and over again.
Ngl.. I was very disappointed in the ending. I think the last kill should have been Ruth because she was the favorite. Mel as the final death was boring. He was annoying, yes but not to the point that his death was satisfying enough to be the final kill of the series. Overall the series was amazing. Could the final scene have been better? To me, yes. But that doesnt take away from how good this season was all the way through.
What bothers me is all the information Wendy's dad had about her (illegal activity, dropped Ben off to be killed) yet he does not use any of that. If he was so mean and wanter her to suffer, he could have easily done that. Mel and Nathan had all the evidence they needed. Yet the show does not have them use any of it. Rather it has Mel, which they said numerous times was intelligent, break into a house and wait for the family to return while holding Ben's ashes. All he had to do was tell Maya that the Byrde's killed Ben and are holding his ashes. That would have been the intelligent thing to do to ensure the Byrde family would not win in the end.
I don't know for sure, but I got the impression from his behavior in that scene that he might have gone back to using. He just seemed off, compared to every other scene he was in, almost like he was sweating or out of breath or something. Or maybe I gathered that was part of the reason why he decided to forgo his renewed badge, considering that was what happened the first time. But I'm really just speculating, I don't know for sure. Could explain his obsession with it the byrdes ever since he left, though.
Mel and Nathan do not have all the evidence they needed. What puzzled me was actually why Mel acted like he did. That jar of Ben's ashes was stolen from the Byrdes' house, it's not admissible evidence in court. By stealing that jar he actually just wasted one of the best pieces of evidence he could've used to bring them down. It's rather inconceivable that an experienced cop would do something so foolish as that. All other evidence was circumstantial at best, the same quality of evidence that Maya or Petty had.
@@20tetsuo77 i agree he didnt seem the same in last scene i wondered if he hop off the wagon. That would explain him not staying to his intellectual characteristics he showed theough the season
Awesome reviews. I'm trying to convince people that this is a great show. That the ending is great. I won't bother. You did such a good job, so why reinvent the wheel! I will just repost your video. Thank you very much.
i see more series like this, but this TV series is fucking hell on PAINFULLY end sorrow end trauma damage is like you have a hope but is t will follow you to the whole life -> existence
@Bryce Do you take the Ozarks as a garden of Eden type story in it was the acts of a woman who brings down everything? I thought of this after your last video. Marty never had a choice it was the people around him that forced his hand And even after he got involved he only lost everything when Navarro found out about the stolen money Marty's business partner was skimming.
Not so much garden of eden imo. I see it more as a slippery slope for the kind of guy who'll keep his head down and work for his family at cost to himself, be it long hours, hard labour or ending up dealing with cartels
Although I think Marty has more of a conscience than Wendy - he would not have done for Ruth what Ruth did for him. I think Ruth liked Marty because he gave her a job with responsibility. He taught her the business. And that is what she wanted - to feel useful.
@4:50 I like juxtaposition but didn't Wendy later tell her Dad that it was to try to embarrass him that she did that? It really felt out of character when I saw her do that. But who knows with lying being tantamount to breathing in that show. :P
Can Part 5 be about the parallel between the Byrds and irl dynasty families who made their fortunes illegally or immoral ways like the Kennedys, Vanderbilts, Koch, Sacklers, Noble etc.
Why did Clare Shaw not tell Camila that the Byrdes knew that Ruth killed Javi? She didn't like Wendy and Marty anyway, so did she miss an opportunity there?
She didn't tell them because she still had somewhat of a moral compass. Although her family's business caused a lot of pain and suffering it was clear that she was at least attempting to do some good. I think that the reason the writers portrayed her in this manner is to make the Byrdes seem more evil than a corporation who caused the opioid crisis.
@@onhisway1 no I think she only told Camilla out of fear for her own life. The moral compass comes out of the fact that she only used the criminal heroin out of desperation and did not actively kill people
Most anti-climatic awful ending I honestly thought the writer's had the guts to have the byrds lined up and executed one by one. I don't know if anybody else sees it like this but each and every one of the byrds was a villain in the end I did not wish for a happy ending for any one of them. I really was hoping that ruth would have a happy ending I think she was kind-hearted deep down Very disappointing ending that didn't match my personal expectation
You make s4 sound so good and detail but watching felt like a mess and everything you sound felt like a detail in the background.I felt S 1-2 were great, S3 was crazy but decent and S4 just rushed and half the time bored especially the first 6 episode
It’s pretty realistic that Wendy wins at the end. Power hungry individuals that drag themselves to the end (w/ their trauma & all) usually get their way. Wendy had a very high tolerance to risk & absurd situations.
I wanted her to win the power but lose her family - literally. Like Ruth.
Show did a great job of showing how a woman can be more calculated then a man due to trauma. Like Camila also. Yet showing us the impulsiveness of Darlene and Ruth not being able to bury it being their down fall.
@@FupaDoncic without Marty Wendy wouldn’t even know where to start
Apparently you're the only one that fully understands Ozark so please make a part 5 please!!!
No literally he gets it lol
I appreciate those kind words. Hopefully I can make a part 5 soon!

Darlene and Ruth would not have had to make those decisions if the BIRDS hadn't invaded their land. Of course everything was their fault.
Fantastic breakdown of the finale and almost the series as a whole. Anyone who's a fan of the show should watch it.
The parallel you talk about re Navarro and the Byrds and the number of children - the Byrds had 3 children - the baby they lost in the first car crash.
Just finished the tv show today. Awesome
Loved season 4!
Incredible review of the series, I watched the first video and immediately had to watch the rest
Thank you for making it this far, so happy to hear that!
Great job pointing out all these metaphors. Gave a extra layer on the show I just finished.
So happy to hear you liked them!
Watching these videos as im making my trek through the show for a 2nd time....great videos to go with a great show.....im loving it

Great videos man. Fantastic in depth work 👏
Thank you so much Tony!
These are great. So in depth I love these details explained.
Wendy is the super villain of the entire series , her evil trumps all evil she is fueled by greed, power, and desire.
You did it!
You did a part IV!
I am sooo proud...
Haha so glad you made it this far as well!
@@BryceEdwardBrown always!
You know we'll just keep watchin' em.

I don't remember the exact lines from it, but the windows in the new office in. The Chicago high rise, not in Ozarks
“a lil power hungry” 😅
Just a lil bit 😂
We need a part 5 !!! Thank you !!
Noted! Thanks for watching CJ Israel!
Hope you do something like this for Yellowstone when it concludes. These are great videos
I need to start Yellowstone haha

You never addressed if the Byrd boy killed the private detective. This is key.
anyone catch how ruth wears wyatt’s “hoodie with the lining in it” when she kills javi? She mentions it when packing the car to run away with wyatt.
Great series! Great recaps - what's your take on Three. It's like the writers forgot all about him.
I think because three was never a player in all of this. Moreso a witness and bystander.
Thank you Diane, I feel like Theee was there so the show wasn't entirely full of corrupt/antihero characters
Ngl.. I was very disappointed in the ending. I think the last kill should have been Ruth because she was the favorite. Mel as the final death was boring. He was annoying, yes but not to the point that his death was satisfying enough to be the final kill of the series. Overall the series was amazing. Could the final scene have been better? To me, yes. But that doesnt take away from how good this season was all the way through.

How about an episode by episode analysis series? 10 minutes per episode.
Yes please
My goodness I would love to do that!
Please do a mr robot deep dive!
I was very satisfied with the ending.
Same!
It bothers me that Ruth’s death barely affected Marty and did charlotte and Jonah even find out?
I feel the same

So glad to hear!!
Yessirrrrr
The ending was terrible. I really liked the show as a whole, but the last few episodes were ridiculous.

It really is 50/50 right now haha
