Remember the conversation Wendy had with Ben in the car, too, at the fake Walmart about what she wanted. She said she was smarter than Helen, but she also alluded that she could be living a much more lavish lifestyle than she is now. Maybe since loyalty and value have increased, so will the Byrds lifestyle.
Every season just gets better and better. Loved the angle they took this season with the focus on mental health, some of Ben’s scenes towards the end almost had me in tears
@@BigPurp9 I like how they finally got directly involved with the cartel boss. He's been pulling all the strings since the start and now they are interacting with him directly.
@Islam Ahmed Why would Ruth's truck be seen by the FBI? FBI never seen any footage. The whole reason why Marty showed snapshots of the footage instead of showing the footage itself was to prevent that. And Marty never admitted that they had the footage in the first place. He said the pictures came from anonymous source. So the footage was never a threat to them at all.
a. gazelle I think he will start to get some bigger acting rolls after this season of Ozarks. His “no no no” meltdown and the rambling taxi scene after his hospital release had me sold.
a. gazelle yes! Both actors were amazing in the last two episodes. Laura Linney had me in tears watching her in the car crying on the phone. She sold me that it seemed so genuine of Wendy’s devastation!
Zachary Hoy Helen wouldn’t have wasted her time to go pay her a visit if she intended* to kill her anyway .. that old lady had a chance.. her patient confidentiality could’ve saved her but Helen knew that old lady would’ve kept coming back to more money and that’s what got her killed.
Ben's death is the saddest death I've seen in a series in a long time. And we don't even see him being killed but when he walks out of the diner all alone and abandoned and we see the Cartel guy pull up, I lost it. And when he was talking about his future with Ruth in five years that was SO depressing.
I thought the same. It was really depressing. I don’t think on real life she would have let that bastard kill her own brother. She would have got him far, far away & if anything wiped out Helen. Then moved to Australia to start a new life. If Ben is really dead it’s proven that Marty and Wendy are cartel bum licks lol and would do anything for them even letting their own family members die. I know the brother was going crazy but in real life I couldn’t see his own sister doing that. And if she did she would have to be the coldest bastard ever.
I disagree with the part about Helen being fixated on revenge after Ben told her kid the truth about what she did for a living. It does seem very authentic when Helen says the reason Ben has to die isn’t cause of what he told he daughter, but that she wouldn’t be the last person he tells(we see this moments later when he informs a police officer about his situation at the grocery parking lot) I do feel like she simply saw FAR too many red flags and vulnerabilities with the Byrds and just wanted rid of them, yes Marty was the best at laundering money, but I could see her reasons for not wanting to place anymore trust in them(VERY similar to season 3 of Breaking Bad when Gus wants rid of Walter and Jesse, even though Walt made the best meth, he saw enough to think they’d be risky business moving forward) Also let me just say, this season currently has a rating of only 78% on metacritic(while the VERY good season 2 got a score of 59) I’m starting to wonder what on EARTH are the critics watching?!?? This is by far THE BEST series ever produced by Netflix.
Once someone is waterboarded they aren't the same. Helen changed her approach and reactions after that. She knew once that happened she had lost Navarro's full confidence and began making emotional decisions for her own wellbeing.
William Douglas she’s excellent and wyatt and Ruth are carrying on her legacy. The last scene with those 3, at the poppy fields, reminded Darlene of her younger self, which she craves and it leads her to her transference with Wyatt. Definitely superb acting and writing.
Same here. I also loved Wendy's brother. He brought such a different energy. He was also in reality the sane one when it came to his view on how nonchalant everyone was about the crazy Lives they're leading in the Ozarks. I truly felt it when he was killed and Wendy's response to what she did even while she was doing it was so purely real
@@doobiesnatcher1956 yup, remember when Marty showed him how to launder money in S1? Everything in this series has foreshadowing atleast 1 season in advance.
Jonah is on the autism spectrum not the bipolar one. He is more likely to be shut in instead of acting all crazy like Ben. He is just very pissed about Ben being killed and needed to act out on it or else go crazy. As for a guy being on the autism spectrum he is fairly well off. The reason he isn't all fully calculated and calm like his sister is getting to be is because he is still young more than the autism thing.
They both had "Helen's Grey Matter" on the menu that morning. You notice how Eduardo who knows to stand away from the brain projectile, is the only one of the the three that doesn doesn't get any of Helen on him.
Helen's credibility went down the drain when the casino business was not able to function 100% with Byrde's absence. That proved to Navarro that he was necessary for this whole thing to work out, so when Helen said she wanted to take over... it was game over for her
Great point ! Marty really annoyed me this season with how he didn’t stand up against Wendy enough... but it definitely showed once he left the casino that he is still incredibly necessary for their business to survive.
Marty and Wendy were simply more capable and smart about running business's than Helen was. They were worth more to the Cartel than Helen was so she finally got to see Nelson's gun barrel pointed at her. BTW, pointing out that Nelson was the shooter that killed Helen, was not required for most that saw this video. Talk about the stuff many didn't pick up on, not the obvious.
Y'all gotta look at it this way. Its a character flaw I know, but from her point of view the byrde have been at least tangentially responsible for the deaths of almost everyone she has ever cared about. Even if she shares the responsibility or not.
Helen got her first inkling of her possible demise in Episode 4 when she found out that Wendy was having direct communication with Navarro excluding Helen
I was almost certain Helen would die in this season, when she asked her driver, if he'd tell her when the time had come. That is not just some filler you include.
Kristian Juul it was definitely foreshadowing, at that point it became a matter of when. Not sure how many people pick that up in the moment when watching a show.
@@ShireenPlays I piss my boss off all the time. Can't imagine having a job where you have to worry about your boss killing you. There's not enough money in the world to live with that!
Ozark does to me what Breaking Bad did to me years ago. I think about the episodes hours or days later. I'm obsessed with the show, the acting, the plots, and the twists. It's another crime drama that has "normal" people dipping their toes into a world of crime that they're not really prepared to enter fully -- they think they can just be on the surface, but soon find they're in over their heads, and it becomes a matter of survival.Seeing the moral choices they have to make, and their sliding down the slippery slope to being real cutthroat criminals, is absolutely fascinating. I can relate to these people initially, because they're normal people, driving the minivan, nagging their kids about school work, and even sitting down to dinner as a family. That's what makes it so great to me -- the fact that these could be your neighbors...just living their normal lives. The ironies are endless, and I love it. The Byrdes really don't think of themselves as bad people, not until Season 3. Their justification of making a better life for their children and grandchildren seems to get them through, even though it gets increasingly difficult.
@@mmm98612 I agree - many thing one or the other is better, but for me, they're equally brilliant. Similar in that both feature normal people who end up being pulled into a very dangerous way of life. Both patriarchs do this. In BB, Walter White's initial moral choice was to try to survive cancer. He needed the money to have either a surgery or treatment, just to save his own life. He went into it thinking it would be a one-time thing -- he'd get enough money and then get cured and then be done with it. But greed got the better of him. With Ozard, Marty's greed got the family into their tough spot right from the start. He couldn't have expected to launder money and still keep his hands clean. There was no "need", so in that way, they're different. And the whole family in Ozark ends up aware of and operating within their new "normal". In BB, Walter's wife and kid weren't aware of his dealings for quite some time. He constantly had the struggle to shelter them from his other life. I loved both shows.
Yup, specially us that live in Georgia which is where Ozark was filmed ... Ozark filmed at Lake Allatoona and Lake Lanier .. know those film places all too well 😍😍
Plot twist , Agent Maya has been working for navarro for the whole season..remember that as soon as he takes the deal at the reo speedwagon concert its only then that navarros boys go pick him up...also..mayas job is to push wendy into running to test their loyalty which is why when maya is gone she tries to get closer to wendy ..so when maya calls marty before the plane and realizes it wasnt him that turned the confession..she knew it was helen..then told navarro..so when the plane landed..he knew what needed to be done
That is a great twist. At a minimum, Navarro has someone working for him high up in the FBI who contacted him when the agent contacted her higher ups telling them Marty's confession was forged.
Trivia - Navarro’s “house” is actually Westview Abbey Mausoleum in Atlanta. It’s a very beautiful and spooky place. There are over 11K crypts inside. The interior shots are in the mausoleum chapel.
Also the Missouri Belle exterior scenes were shot at Stone Mountain Lake....we visited last summer and saw the boat and the building in front of the boat, both fully dressed just like in the show....also there's a scene where Nelson is waiting for Ben to show up outside the casino and you can see the top of Stone Mountain in the background...
@movingonandup773 there is a video where the cast talks about the many locations Ozark is shot in Georgia. It's not just Atlanta it's all over Georgia including these many different lakes. I didn't know that Jason Bateman was a show runner production genius till I learned about Ozark. So much of this show is from his direct input including the opening credits with the 4 symbols that spell OZRK that also indicate the story line and plot points of that episode. He directs many or most of the eps and is the shows executive producer. I guess having the career he's had really primed his for Ozark. Let's just say there's no way Marty Byrde gets killed off the show, until they get to the very last episode.
I had the feeling Wendy broke into her old house and defaced it as a warning to the people who lived there to not take perceived "safe and happy home" so lightly. The key was still hidden above the window, illustrating that these people are stupidly unaware that there are dangerous people among them. Her leaving the front door open was a warning to them to get their shit together. I feel Wendy did this because she was mourning the fact that she has rarely, if ever felt safe, and now that she was in cahoots with Navarro, she knew she'd never get out.
She has a bit in an earlier season saying when she was younger she used to break into peoples homes and steal little things and mess stuff up. It was just a reference to that scene.
@@turnertrevor17 she had a normal life but went around sleeping with anyone who would give her attention. Also she ruined the chances of her kids being safe twice. Season one where Marty was gathering all the money he had an exit plan for Wendy and the kids until she tried to clear out their accounts. Season 2 when she thought she was untouchable.
@@zxcccccc1 -- He wanted to kill her because she was undermining his decisions and out of control. She killed him in self defense... because he was going to kill her. Pretty simple to me.
Nahhh it’s cool for me, but she was a real boss every time she pulled up in that Cadillac lmao. But it’s funny how her driver was riding wit her and talking to her but in the end he was the one to blow her head off.
Christine Gratia wait i started hating ruth this season. Her siding with darlene over marty made me way too mad and i still dont get it. She was loyal to marty for so long but after a short relationship with ben, who fucks the family over so hard, she suddenly has a change of heart? I dont know. Also, marty is too naiv for what has happened to them. Him trying to stop wendy from purchasing the second casino, after it was already done, actually made most of season3 more messy for him and the family. Next to ben he‘s probably the primary cause everything went to shit
Ben was bipolar, and was only rational when he took his medicine. He stopped taking his meds when he met and fell in love with Ruth. Ever since then, he spiraled downward to the point of zero control -- he couldn't control himself, and Wendy realized no matter where he ended up, he would rant and rave about the Byrdes and their connection to Navarro and the cartel. So he was a huge risk. Ben's character was endearing, fun, and in a way, innocent...but too dangerous to Ruth and the Byrdes. I did enjoy seeing a softer side to Ruth, though; she's my favorite character in this whole show.
And THAT'S why he nailed that character. He protrayed someone suffering with bipolar so well. When he called Helen and Wendy wanted to shake the mess out of him, i laughed so hard because that's exactly how I felt.
The beginning scene showing the garage door closing simultaneously with the car trunk with Ben’s body in the back was such a good shot, and the ending scene gave me chills too. Can’t wait for season 4
That is not irony. That’s not how that works. He lied to Helen to strengthen her trust in him so that she wouldn’t have him dispatched and replaced with someone more loyal to her than to Navarro.
I saw something interesting about the video game. Marty while in jail realized that there is no easy way to win with the cartel; you have to keep putting in quarters to survive and then maybe, maybe you might win (get out of the cartel and be safe). While Wendy may have been erratic and overzealous this season, Marty realized that she was right in a certain fashion; you have to keep investing and go further in order to survive.
True Del was very blunt in his dealings but Navarro plays the long game so he is more in touch with Wendy and Marties mental fear he is less straightforward and therefore he is more intimidating in the long run because you never know when he is truly satisfied so they will keep having to put out. This is very different from Del because del wasn’t scared to show he was really human and at times would act like a friend to Marty.
@@rsk6929 I agree with this 100%. Del spoke his mind, whether displeased or pleased. Navaro leaves alot to interpretation. The ending of it all when he embraced both Wendy and Marty after killing Helen was the first time he showed clear emotion (speech & body language), besides when he lost his family at the church. The biggest thing about Navaro is that he wants to constantly enforce that his employees never forget who they actually work for and Nelson does this consistently.
@@thaboramokolo9310 I'm thinking Helens whole family will be killed if Helen is a liability so is her husband and kids... It was either the Byrd's or Helens fam so I guess Navarro sided with he Byrd's since we'll Navarro knows that Ben blurted everything out to Erin and when she goes back to Chicago she can't be trusted where as he know Jonah and Charlotte have known all the shit going on and has kept quiet. Also it's a long shot to try to get Helen a casino liscence just like it was merely impossibly for Byrd's and since the Byrd's already have the liscence and there kids are cool and stfu as well as Marty might still be able flip that fbi agent and they can get fbi to attack the Laguna cartel Navarro like how Wendy is direct and like how Marty wants to win. I could go on cuz I just been watching first time ever season 1 thru 3 last few weeks just finished up last episode of 3 today and came here dude I literally screamed like fuck yes when Helen got her brains blown out not just blown out but onto Marty and Wendy there just wtffff as Navarro hugs them... Fucking classic move by the writers man such a good ending
@@nogahlerman6137 dam I thot of that but now at the end of everything ur right the Ozark would of been concluded there cuz they would of caught del and Marty right then and there
I'm going to say it. I've just finished Season 3. And it is my new favourite. Breaking Bad is No.2 now. This show is just insane. I feel emotionally invested in the characters. I actually care so much about them that I'd be really let down if Netflix doesn't commission another season.
Words can't describe how well Ben's actor portrayed him. The crying, the breakdowns, they were all portrayed perfectly and made me empathise with him more than any other character in the show.
The scene where Helen was told that her husband "going away" would would make things easy and she said "no" and then Wendy killing Ben was the tipping point. It showed who was willing to make a sacrifice.
Now that's a real "ending explained". Can't get enough of O3 guess I just have to rewatch it. haha One big lesson is that they're good when they work together but failing if they fly solo.
@country too cool Wendy brings a lot to the table as well, like the idea to get the FBI to go after Navarro's enemy. She was power hungry and arrogant for a minute there, but she seems to appreciate Marty a lot more now and realizes they need to stick together. But yeah, Marty runs this shit lowkey.
You gotta understand the craziness of her life during the show. She has been threatened, tortured, and beat. Not to mention she lost almost 100% of her family. That trailer is the last comforting thing, it represents her old life and home. A lot of people can't just throw that all away.
I think everyone misses the whole point about why Navarro is keeping the Byrdes. Think about this a moment. The minute he threw Marty into the hole, shit got real back in Arkansas. The casino was in real trouble due to the flagged deposit. Now, even Navarro didn't know how to fix that, and Marty fixed it in 10 seconds. Does that not tell him how valuable Marty really is to his whole operation there? And regardless of what he said on the phone, the phone call Wendy made to Navarro telling him about Ben was a smart move. It's easy for Navarro to act like he was blowing it off, but Wendy did the right thing. But I am still troubled by a few things about the Byrdes. Like the horse farm. Wendy was far too sympathetic to the lady at the farm. It shows she still isn't 100% willing to be soulless for the cartel. And you have to be.
I agree it changed the whole power dynamic between Marty,Wendy and Helen. Navarro recognised that Marty was the lynch pin of the operation while he likes Wendys ideas he understands her nature and ambition the same as he does with Helen but no one can do what Marty does every time Navarro goes to Marty he has a solution ready for him the casino was Marty's idea originally Wendy did the grunt work to make it happen but she over reached by going after the second casino with Helen against Marty's wishes. Marty knew their primary job was to wash money Wendy wanted to secure a political base as that's her area of expertise but she let her ego and pride of wanting to out shine Marty blind her that set in motion a cascade of events that led to Marty staying in Navarro's dungeon but it also brought clarity to Navarro on who was really valuable to his organisation.
Jonah is severely hurt by his mom making the call to off Ben. He may not be able to forgive her, but I doubt he'd ever turn against his family. Ruth probably will though, she's had enough of Wendy.
The acting in this show is phenomenal... everyone just kills it. But damn, I sure could use a little comedic relief. This show is crazy intense, and it never takes it's foot off the viewer's throat. I can't binge watch more than a few episodes because after that, I'm too stressed out. It's still one of the best shows ever.
just came here to say: Who needs this season ending explained? Excellent writing, performances, soundtrack and editing. It's pretty much self explanatory.
I really don’t think Ben was killed. For one they never show him being killed, and they never actually show the body to confirm that it was actually Ben. I think Ben was taken to Mexico and will be used as leverage against Wendy in the next season. The actor was amazing and I doubt they would waste his character. (For the people who can’t handle someone having a different opinion, just remember, it’s just a theory. Relax and have a polite discussion)
but wat leverage? she already had to choose between her kids or him and she chose him dead. Why would the show make her choose again? Its not impossible, but it would be repetitive imo
The final line about their "beginning" is also said after Helen's blood is on all of them, referencing his "second baptism" true meaning. Navarro and his words are an institution of brevity and brutality.
Finally finished season 3. Each show was filled with constant tension. The viewer rarely gets much of a break. Partly due to the multiple sudden deaths and rising tensions between the groups. (or families) Props to Bateman and his crew. And Mega props to the actors. love em ALL. Ruth was the glue. Wendy's character seemed crucial. Don't see many props to Peter Mullan (Jacob). That dude was smoother than Tennessee whiskey.
The Byrds did not miss an opportunity to run at the end of Season 2. Marty's travel arrangements were being monitored by the cartel. It was shown that they knew his web history. Wendy's last-minute decision to stay actually ended up saving them.
Also in the scene when Ben and Wendy woke up from police in the Walmart parking lot, the cop was impressed with Wendy’s knowledge about the law proving that Wendy is as smart or smarter that Helen.
Red winning is far more shocking. Not only did you have a king die, but you had half of the family die along with a pregnant women being stabbed in the stomach over and over. Ben was here for 1 season, just to cause drama lol. Still believe he should get an award for it though. That fucking acting man!
@movingonandup773 I think Ruth just didn't think Wendy would have her brother killed. When Wyatt said that to Ruth she thought about it and figured it out.
movingonandup773 Neither Ben or the therapist were actually shown getting killed, although they did show wrapped up bodies, not sure if it means they aren’t really dead or if they thought it would be too upsetting for viewers to see those two characters killed.
movingonandup773 That’s true about Sue and when she was killed, I assumed that they didn’t show anything too because of her not being a main character, plus she was older and kind of likable, I thought maybe they felt showing her getting killed would be too upsetting for viewers, but now it has me wondering if her body was the one being cremated, but then again why would Nelson keep her body? I can’t wait to see either, wish we didn’t have to wait for so long, lol.
movingonandup773 I do think that the "wrapping the body" aspect for Sue was to make the viewers think the same for Ben!! But as Sue wasn't a big part of the ongoing situation,we can be sure that she is dead.Can't really say that for Ben!! Nelson might've told Ben about Wendy and hence have him taken to Navaro!! Or.. I might be wrong here,but what if the footsteps that we here in the end when Jonah shoots the window is actually Ben!!
I had been putting off watching this show for some time, but man I am so elated that I gave it a chance! It's soooo good! Absolutely incredible. The acting, storylines, characters, plot twists, just everything. This show deserves every Emmy in its category.
Ben’s death hit a little too close to home for me. I’ve known people like Ben. I actually cried when Wendy got up from the booth in the restaurant. I had to keep reminding myself “it’s just a show. Ben was just a fictional character”. I’d have written it to where she drops been Ben in Tennessee and lies to Helen and Navarro and says that Ben committed suicide. And then the next season, they would be wondering if/when Ben would pop back up. I wouldn’t have killed the character off just yet. But...that’s just me and my over sensitivity.
Yeeeeah, Ben was definitely one of my favorite characters as soon as he hit the screen. That part where he tosses all the students phones into the wood chipper will always be one of my favorite scenes of any show or movie. RIP Ben! You had the shortest role, but left one of the biggest impacts on the show. 😄
I loved this video. There are not enough RUclipsr s out there who can break down amazing shows in such an analytical/ philosophical way. I love learning what the artist was trying to portray scene by scene. It really puts their hard work to the top when persons like yourself make cool videos like this. Thanks Please do more episode breakdowns of your favorite shows/movies/books/ music etc.....
Navarro didn't have Ben killed, he's worth more alive; Ben is being kept somewhere safe as leverage Navarro knows Wendy is loyal because she called him in. It was a test (which was foreshadowed). If Ben was really killed Wendy would be resentful, when she finds out Navarro spared Ben she will be grateful. The body you saw cremated was the therapist. Remember, you didn't see Ben get killed nor his face in the body bag. Wendy and Marty will be sworn to keep this a secret but will have to eventually let Ruth know in order to turn her from Darlene. Season 4 will open with this revelation.
Navarro got rid of Helen because the idea to transfer his money to trust funds in his children's names came from Wendy and Helen tried to act like the idea was her own. Remember that Wendy was talking to Navarro regularly on the phone and Helen didn't find out until later. Obviously Wendy was keeping him updated on the scheme. Also Helen was not willing to kill her ex-husband and even endured waterboarding to protect him. Plus if Navarro had heard that Wendy and Marty had indeed cut a deal with the FBI, he knew that they would have never got on that plane to Mexico because they would have been immediately placed into the witness protection program.
@Christopher De Freitas- Exactly. The reason I didn't mention that is because the guy that did this video had already mentioned it. BUT I didn't realize that Helen was unaware of that plan.
@@focustd she was unaware because wendy believe she wasn't trusted anymore when wendy call her friend the guy who work from the shadows for her told her Helen came and ask for a casino license
I’ve known a few people with mental illness and I will say Bens character was spot on. He reminded me of this guy I use to know in the past who was also a meth addict and when he wasn’t on it, he wasn’t mentally sound. His heart seemed like it was in the right place and we had some good times but there was always that angry chaotic side. He would always do things because it was in his nature to do so even though he acknowledged it was bad.
A whole video and you missed it. The FBI agent hit it when talking with Helen. Why was Helen concerned that Nelson might get the order against her from Navarro? Because, as the agent indicated, why would Helen offer to give up the Byrde's to the FBI knowing the condition was that the Byrde's would have to rat out Navarro? Helen didn't just want the Byrde's out of the way, she wanted Navarro out of the way and was in the bag for the rival cartel. Do you think the rival cartel had the information on the Byrde's and the drop without her help? Navarro figured it out.
I think we might find out in Season 4 that the rival cartel might have people living in Ozark to keep an eye on Marty and Wendy. Eduardo must have some of his people there and learned he couldn't trust Helen to monitor Marty's business's that launder the cartel's money. Eduardo lost most his family to his rivals so he will want to get even in Season 4.
This show is so good, like you hate every character but you love every character, you get invested into every character and the plot, this is a show where every line said matters in the long run, the writing is amazing and the acting is absolutely brilliant
This is hands down the most impeccable acting I have ever seen in any drama ( Laura Linney and Jason Bateman , Julia Garner/Ruth , Tom Pelphrey/ Ben) First class acting right down to the bone . Their characters are really tough to act out and these fine folks deserve a long standing ovation . No other drama can TOP this . Great story line and suspense . Absolutely gripping . Season 3 was mind blowing . Season 4 gonna be superb !
Ben was the highlight of Season 3 and I think it's possible that he might not be dead. They never showed him getting killed despite always being graphic about most other killings. Perhaps someone else was brought home in the body bag?
The entire show, cast, writers, location of the show was brilliant. Jason Bateman has came a long way from his days on Hogans Hero. Can't wait to see what the final season brings.

ruclips.net/video/F_IcXC6CO0w/видео.html
Remember the conversation Wendy had with Ben in the car, too, at the fake Walmart about what she wanted. She said she was smarter than Helen, but she also alluded that she could be living a much more lavish lifestyle than she is now. Maybe since loyalty and value have increased, so will the Byrds lifestyle.
The actor who played Ben, played the hell out of his role. Great Show.
I hated the character so much but the actor was great
The scene in the cab is the so good.
Laurence R Yes, totally! I've thought the same! :)
It's likely he isn't dead. We never saw Nelson kill him, and we never saw the body. He was starting to have pangs of guilt.
@Nancy
That's true. That could be a plot to the upcoming season.
This show is an absolute masterpiece
Yes, it is. Watch this for another little entertainment: ruclips.net/video/1DX8jFppTPw/видео.html

Yes it was
@@BigPurp9 I like how they finally got directly involved with the cartel boss. He's been pulling all the strings since the start and now they are interacting with him directly.

Is that profound for kids?
Uh but they wouldn't be in that trouble if Ben wasn't a fuck up.
jessesam - true dat!

Maybe, but Ben was more concerned with Ruth than to his own family.
Really great acting in the scene when Wendy's brother Ben was screaming No No No for refusing to go to the Behavioral Health Center.
a. gazelle I think he will start to get some bigger acting rolls after this season of Ozarks. His “no no no” meltdown and the rambling taxi scene after his hospital release had me sold.
@@chasek0822 True. Also Wendy's reaction to the 'no no no' was so touching.

I damn near cried on that part.
However I cried on the part where he actually was killed and Wendy was in the truck crying.

Who would’ve thought Jason Bateman would evolve from Arrested Development to creating and acting in this masterpiece. The guy is gifted.

The poor old idiot really tried to shake down Helen. 😂😂 she should’ve quit while she was ahead
Zachary Hoy Helen wouldn’t have wasted her time to go pay her a visit if she intended* to kill her anyway .. that old lady had a chance.. her patient confidentiality could’ve saved her but Helen knew that old lady would’ve kept coming back to more money and that’s what got her killed.
Ben's death is the saddest death I've seen in a series in a long time. And we don't even see him being killed but when he walks out of the diner all alone and abandoned and we see the Cartel guy pull up, I lost it. And when he was talking about his future with Ruth in five years that was SO depressing.
I agree but, possible twist, his sister did ask was his ashes heavy, Marty replies not really. Hummmm
Never seen the body. He's alive I feel
I cried actual tears. It was so sad
I thought the same. It was really depressing. I don’t think on real life she would have let that bastard kill her own brother. She would have got him far, far away & if anything wiped out Helen. Then moved to Australia to start a new life. If Ben is really dead it’s proven that Marty and Wendy are cartel bum licks lol and would do anything for them even letting their own family members die. I know the brother was going crazy but in real life I couldn’t see his own sister doing that. And if she did she would have to be the coldest bastard ever.
The thing is.. we never actually saw him get killed.. was that really Ben wrapped up ? Or made to look like he was murdered ? Just a thought ..
Ruth is the Jesse Pinkman
of the Ozark.
william merten Her acting is actually way more realistic.
So true.
YES
Ha and she the Tommy Egan of the show
Lol Ruth is useful. Jessie was a liability
I disagree with the part about Helen being fixated on revenge after Ben told her kid the truth about what she did for a living. It does seem very authentic when Helen says the reason Ben has to die isn’t cause of what he told he daughter, but that she wouldn’t be the last person he tells(we see this moments later when he informs a police officer about his situation at the grocery parking lot) I do feel like she simply saw FAR too many red flags and vulnerabilities with the Byrds and just wanted rid of them, yes Marty was the best at laundering money, but I could see her reasons for not wanting to place anymore trust in them(VERY similar to season 3 of Breaking Bad when Gus wants rid of Walter and Jesse, even though Walt made the best meth, he saw enough to think they’d be risky business moving forward)
Also let me just say, this season currently has a rating of only 78% on metacritic(while the VERY good season 2 got a score of 59) I’m starting to wonder what on EARTH are the critics watching?!?? This is by far THE BEST series ever produced by Netflix.
I agree but I think ultimately Helen was doomed the moment she turned on the Byrdes.
maestro4202 2 exactly that.
Once someone is waterboarded they aren't the same. Helen changed her approach and reactions after that. She knew once that happened she had lost Navarro's full confidence and began making emotional decisions for her own wellbeing.
I personally didn’t like season 2 as much as 1 and 3
Abdul Sesay that’s not an unpopular opinion haha, the majority thought so as well.
love Ozark! my favourite character Buddy died in season 2 sadly, even though we knew he was sick he was a favourite of mine.
So happy that man went peacefully. We needed at least one peaceful death in this show lmao.
Buddy reminded me of Mike from Breaking bad ❤️
@@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi I think the private investigator guy was the Mike of Oz
It really sucks that we're going to be waiting a LONG time for season 4... 😭
@Alarak The Highlord He's saying it because of the Covid-19 situation
@Alarak The Highlord It took 2 years instead of 1. Was too long to wait
Alarak The Highlord tell me about it
No surrender
2 and 1/2 years... Watch 🤦🏾♂️.
And how about that Darlene? Not a bad actress either.
William Douglas she’s excellent and wyatt and Ruth are carrying on her legacy. The last scene with those 3, at the poppy fields, reminded Darlene of her younger self, which she craves and it leads her to her transference with Wyatt. Definitely superb acting and writing.
I kinda shit myself when Ruth called her crazy
@@BOMBACLA yes, " batshit" crazy. 😂
@@lisawalkerblodgett3055 That poppy field cgi kinda threw me off though

Such a great Netflix tv serie. It's been a while since I got so hooked with a show. I love the whole cast.
Ruth is #1 for me. Buddy is #2
Mwoakill09 “And quit parking in the cripple spot. What you got ain’t a disability. Just poor judgement.” .... absolutely Ruthless
@@dekunutsocarina bro nice one. Marty and Wendy did her wrong.
Same here. I also loved Wendy's brother. He brought such a different energy. He was also in reality the sane one when it came to his view on how nonchalant everyone was about the crazy Lives they're leading in the Ozarks. I truly felt it when he was killed and Wendy's response to what she did even while she was doing it was so purely real
yeah! its a great show and cast.
I'm just anxious to see how Jonah turns out he seems to be on edge in that finale and he's super smart too so that might be dangerous
I’m pretty sure how the series will end is Jonah taking over for Marty and maybe even the cartel.
@@doobiesnatcher1956 yup, remember when Marty showed him how to launder money in S1? Everything in this series has foreshadowing atleast 1 season in advance.
@Top Lobster Say what??
@Top Lobster you mean Jonah right?
Jonah is on the autism spectrum not the bipolar one. He is more likely to be shut in instead of acting all crazy like Ben. He is just very pissed about Ben being killed and needed to act out on it or else go crazy. As for a guy being on the autism spectrum he is fairly well off. The reason he isn't all fully calculated and calm like his sister is getting to be is because he is still young more than the autism thing.
Legend has it that Wendy and Marty are still washing Helens brains out of their hair.
They both had "Helen's Grey Matter" on the menu that morning. You notice how Eduardo who knows to stand away from the brain projectile, is the only one of the the three that doesn
doesn't get any of Helen on him.
The season 4 trailer actually shows this lmao.
@@claycornelius7191 LMAO
Helen's credibility went down the drain when the casino business was not able to function 100% with Byrde's absence. That proved to Navarro that he was necessary for this whole thing to work out, so when Helen said she wanted to take over... it was game over for her
Great point ! Marty really annoyed me this season with how he didn’t stand up against Wendy enough... but it definitely showed once he left the casino that he is still incredibly necessary for their business to survive.
Marty and Wendy were simply more capable and smart about running business's than Helen was. They were worth more to the Cartel than Helen was so she finally got to see Nelson's gun barrel pointed at her. BTW, pointing out that Nelson was the shooter that killed Helen, was not required for most that saw this video. Talk about the stuff many didn't pick up on, not the obvious.
“What you want me to put my arms around you?” Navarro
People didn't catch that. He ended up doing so.
Hmmm, thank you. But, that kind of answered Helen’s sudden resignation. Damn, Navarro have a wicked sense of humor.
WOOOAAAHHHHH
MIND *BLOWN*
Helen is definitely one of most scary characters I’ve watched, not Darlene level but yeah
K D lmao Darlene is so bad ass she ain’t scared of nobody and takes orders from nobody on the other hand Helen took orders
Sort of a female Gus Fring
It’s weird how in some episodes Darlene seems to be the sane one
David Thompson yeah but Gus was 10x smarter
Crystal Denise Also 10x scarier
I got so angry about Ruth it was her fault wendy told her "tell Ben to take the meds" she didn't and blamed wendy for everything that's sucks!
Trueee.... she never told or even suggest ben to take the pill..all cause she wanted to be fucked:/ which is what made ben stop taking the pills...U_U
@@aesthral exactly! I like her so much maybe my fav character but she's acting like stupid about it lol
Y'all gotta look at it this way. Its a character flaw I know, but from her point of view the byrde have been at least tangentially responsible for the deaths of almost everyone she has ever cared about. Even if she shares the responsibility or not.
She's usually a very smart character, but she was in love with Ben. "Love can make you do weird things" I almost threw up writing that.
@@ThisIsWellMalik yeah, Ruth fucked up on that blinded by Ben's Magic stick
Helen got her first inkling of her possible demise in Episode 4 when she found out that Wendy was having direct communication with Navarro excluding Helen
I was almost certain Helen would die in this season, when she asked her driver, if he'd tell her when the time had come. That is not just some filler you include.
Kristian Juul it was definitely foreshadowing, at that point it became a matter of when. Not sure how many people pick that up in the moment when watching a show.
I agree it was foreshadowing why would she ask that.
It's foreshadowing and a callback at the end
@@ShireenPlays I piss my boss off all the time. Can't imagine having a job where you have to worry about your boss killing you. There's not enough money in the world to live with that!
Nah u ask that question in certain situations sometimes 💯
Ozark does to me what Breaking Bad did to me years ago. I think about the episodes hours or days later. I'm obsessed with the show, the acting, the plots, and the twists. It's another crime drama that has "normal" people dipping their toes into a world of crime that they're not really prepared to enter fully -- they think they can just be on the surface, but soon find they're in over their heads, and it becomes a matter of survival.Seeing the moral choices they have to make, and their sliding down the slippery slope to being real cutthroat criminals, is absolutely fascinating.
I can relate to these people initially, because they're normal people, driving the minivan, nagging their kids about school work, and even sitting down to dinner as a family. That's what makes it so great to me -- the fact that these could be your neighbors...just living their normal lives. The ironies are endless, and I love it. The Byrdes really don't think of themselves as bad people, not until Season 3. Their justification of making a better life for their children and grandchildren seems to get them through, even though it gets increasingly difficult.
I used to say there was no other show like Breaking Bad. I would say Ozark is the closest thing. Both brilliant shows
I said the EXACT same thing
Cindy L ozark beats breaking bad by miles
I still find Ozark better than Breaking Bad. The acting and production is too damn good and real.
@@mmm98612 I agree - many thing one or the other is better, but for me, they're equally brilliant. Similar in that both feature normal people who end up being pulled into a very dangerous way of life. Both patriarchs do this. In BB, Walter White's initial moral choice was to try to survive cancer. He needed the money to have either a surgery or treatment, just to save his own life. He went into it thinking it would be a one-time thing -- he'd get enough money and then get cured and then be done with it. But greed got the better of him. With Ozard, Marty's greed got the family into their tough spot right from the start. He couldn't have expected to launder money and still keep his hands clean. There was no "need", so in that way, they're different. And the whole family in Ozark ends up aware of and operating within their new "normal". In BB, Walter's wife and kid weren't aware of his dealings for quite some time. He constantly had the struggle to shelter them from his other life. I loved both shows.
This show is 10x better when you live in the midwest and have been taking trips to the Ozarks routinely you’ll whole life.
You know that the show isn't filmed in the Ozarks right?
Right....it reminded me of the little area past Silver Dollar City where there are motels and lake access.
I think its called "Indian point"
Yup, specially us that live in Georgia which is where Ozark was filmed ... Ozark filmed at Lake Allatoona and Lake Lanier .. know those film places all too well 😍😍
@movingonandup773 our accents aren't as thick as they make them on the show. We talk more slow then straight up country.
Plot twist , Agent Maya has been working for navarro for the whole season..remember that as soon as he takes the deal at the reo speedwagon concert its only then that navarros boys go pick him up...also..mayas job is to push wendy into running to test their loyalty which is why when maya is gone she tries to get closer to wendy ..so when maya calls marty before the plane and realizes it wasnt him that turned the confession..she knew it was helen..then told navarro..so when the plane landed..he knew what needed to be done
🤔🤔🤔
lowery cocke yeah that’s sounds possible.
That is a great twist. At a minimum, Navarro has someone working for him high up in the FBI who contacted him when the agent contacted her higher ups telling them Marty's confession was forged.
Holy Shit...............I will feel very dumb if this is the case. That is food for thought.
Excellent
Its atleast top 3 shows i have EVER watched. Incredible acting and a masterpiece overall.
By far the best one ever made! In every way!
@@Ecology0136 Facts
Yes!!!! The best series since Breaking Bad. But if you ask me I prefer ozarks over BB due to its darker content.
@@paozialcita933 same
@@paozialcita933 same same, I like Ozark more than BB
Every single actor on this show kills it!! Not one bad performance among them.
Funny moment when Wyatt told Ruth that he will be introduce to Darlene’s mom. The horror🤣
That was totally tongue in cheek
How is darlene’s mom still alive
Trivia - Navarro’s “house” is actually Westview Abbey Mausoleum in Atlanta. It’s a very beautiful and spooky place. There are over 11K crypts inside. The interior shots are in the mausoleum chapel.
Thats pretty amazing and scary at the same time knowing that Cartel #1 house is shot inside the cemetery.
Also the Missouri Belle exterior scenes were shot at Stone Mountain Lake....we visited last summer and saw the boat and the building in front of the boat, both fully dressed just like in the show....also there's a scene where Nelson is waiting for Ben to show up outside the casino and you can see the top of Stone Mountain in the background...
@movingonandup773 it's just east of Atlanta...
Nathan Hamler so this whole damn show was practically shot in Georgia
@movingonandup773 there is a video where the cast talks about the many locations Ozark is shot in Georgia. It's not just Atlanta it's all over Georgia including these many different lakes. I didn't know that Jason Bateman was a show runner production genius till I learned about Ozark. So much of this show is from his direct input including the opening credits with the 4 symbols that spell OZRK that also indicate the story line and plot points of that episode. He directs many or most of the eps and is the shows executive producer. I guess having the career he's had really primed his for Ozark. Let's just say there's no way Marty Byrde gets killed off the show, until they get to the very last episode.
I had the feeling Wendy broke into her old house and defaced it as a warning to the people who lived there to not take perceived "safe and happy home" so lightly. The key was still hidden above the window, illustrating that these people are stupidly unaware that there are dangerous people among them. Her leaving the front door open was a warning to them to get their shit together. I feel Wendy did this because she was mourning the fact that she has rarely, if ever felt safe, and now that she was in cahoots with Navarro, she knew she'd never get out.
She has a bit in an earlier season saying when she was younger she used to break into peoples homes and steal little things and mess stuff up. It was just a reference to that scene.
I thought she did all of that so the home owners would be motivated to leave, so she could buy it back.
My thoughts were that she was angry because they are living the life she wants back, a small town mid income normal life.
I think Wendy is just a fuckin gangster and does whatever the hell she wants
@@turnertrevor17 she had a normal life but went around sleeping with anyone who would give her attention. Also she ruined the chances of her kids being safe twice. Season one where Marty was gathering all the money he had an exit plan for Wendy and the kids until she tried to clear out their accounts. Season 2 when she thought she was untouchable.
“Jesus, you picking dogs teeth with that thing”- Darlene 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Prob the only time i liked Darlene
I still don't know why she killed her husband or why he wanted to kill her.
@@zxcccccc1 -- He wanted to kill her because she was undermining his decisions and out of control. She killed him in self defense... because he was going to kill her. Pretty simple to me.
🤣🤣🤣
Helen was one of my favorites. Love her badass vibe. It's a pity that we won't see her in next season.
Yes, she was that boss bitch. And she stayed lookin fly lol.
she might be ok tho xd
I have a huge crush on her
She was cold ass bitch, but a very interesting character nonetheless, kudos to the actress who played her so well👏👏
Nahhh it’s cool for me, but she was a real boss every time she pulled up in that Cadillac lmao. But it’s funny how her driver was riding wit her and talking to her but in the end he was the one to blow her head off.
There's literally NOTHING to explain, the ending is very VERY clear and understandable...
True, I still like having it explained.
Maybe the title should’ve been “Here’s My Theory”
So why did you click on the video is it because it’s GOOD CONTENT.
Then why did you look it up lol
was just here to hear people talk about my favorite show
Its one of those shows where you hate every single character but you still like watching it
I even bagan hating Marty for being too weak in his relationship with Wendy.
I don't hate Marty and I don't hate Ruth anymore
Christine Gratia wait i started hating ruth this season. Her siding with darlene over marty made me way too mad and i still dont get it. She was loyal to marty for so long but after a short relationship with ben, who fucks the family over so hard, she suddenly has a change of heart? I dont know.
Also, marty is too naiv for what has happened to them. Him trying to stop wendy from purchasing the second casino, after it was already done, actually made most of season3 more messy for him and the family. Next to ben he‘s probably the primary cause everything went to shit
I love Darlene
Fuck Darlene n Helen n Ben
Ben was too innocent and naive for this show...
dadamus deedz innocent?!?!?! HE HAD TO GO!
@@EsotericElle apparently you have no knowledge of mental illnesses. Rewatch episode 8, pay attention this time.
He needed to die. He was so fucking stupid.
Ben was bipolar, and was only rational when he took his medicine. He stopped taking his meds when he met and fell in love with Ruth. Ever since then, he spiraled downward to the point of zero control -- he couldn't control himself, and Wendy realized no matter where he ended up, he would rant and rave about the Byrdes and their connection to Navarro and the cartel. So he was a huge risk. Ben's character was endearing, fun, and in a way, innocent...but too dangerous to Ruth and the Byrdes. I did enjoy seeing a softer side to Ruth, though; she's my favorite character in this whole show.
dadamus deedz shut up. he had to die mentally ill or nit he was a liability
Ben was doing too much. I was over it and getting anxiety whenever I saw him.
And THAT'S why he nailed that character. He protrayed someone suffering with bipolar so well. When he called Helen and Wendy wanted to shake the mess out of him, i laughed so hard because that's exactly how I felt.
lightsandglass crazy good acting
Same lol
Ben was an idiot. The last 5-10 things he did were all the dumbest possible thing he could do followed by a blubbering apology.
The beginning scene showing the garage door closing simultaneously with the car trunk with Ben’s body in the back was such a good shot, and the ending scene gave me chills too. Can’t wait for season 4
Ironic how the hitman said he’d tell Helen if he got given the ‘ok’ for her but didn’t...
That is not irony. That’s not how that works. He lied to Helen to strengthen her trust in him so that she wouldn’t have him dispatched and replaced with someone more loyal to her than to Navarro.
Yeah, looking back at that scene where the two of them were in the SUV, his " ok" wasn't that convincing..
What did she expect out of a killer who works for a cartel? Loyalty, honor, morals?
@@nasmcgrady4165 makes u wonder how much u have to hate yourself to take those types of jobs
Sirgme_al0t or love easy money
I saw something interesting about the video game. Marty while in jail realized that there is no easy way to win with the cartel; you have to keep putting in quarters to survive and then maybe, maybe you might win (get out of the cartel and be safe). While Wendy may have been erratic and overzealous this season, Marty realized that she was right in a certain fashion; you have to keep investing and go further in order to survive.
I think Del(esai Morales) from season 1 was way more intimidating than Navarro
True Del was very blunt in his dealings but Navarro plays the long game so he is more in touch with Wendy and Marties mental fear he is less straightforward and therefore he is more intimidating in the long run because you never know when he is truly satisfied so they will keep having to put out. This is very different from Del because del wasn’t scared to show he was really human and at times would act like a friend to Marty.
@@rsk6929 I agree with this 100%. Del spoke his mind, whether displeased or pleased. Navaro leaves alot to interpretation. The ending of it all when he embraced both Wendy and Marty after killing Helen was the first time he showed clear emotion (speech & body language), besides when he lost his family at the church.
The biggest thing about Navaro is that he wants to constantly enforce that his employees never forget who they actually work for and Nelson does this consistently.
If Darlene didn't killed Del, Marty would've been caught with Del on their way home. The DEA is waiting outside of Snells property
@@thaboramokolo9310 I'm thinking Helens whole family will be killed if Helen is a liability so is her husband and kids... It was either the Byrd's or Helens fam so I guess Navarro sided with he Byrd's since we'll Navarro knows that Ben blurted everything out to Erin and when she goes back to Chicago she can't be trusted where as he know Jonah and Charlotte have known all the shit going on and has kept quiet. Also it's a long shot to try to get Helen a casino liscence just like it was merely impossibly for Byrd's and since the Byrd's already have the liscence and there kids are cool and stfu as well as Marty might still be able flip that fbi agent and they can get fbi to attack the Laguna cartel Navarro like how Wendy is direct and like how Marty wants to win. I could go on cuz I just been watching first time ever season 1 thru 3 last few weeks just finished up last episode of 3 today and came here dude I literally screamed like fuck yes when Helen got her brains blown out not just blown out but onto Marty and Wendy there just wtffff as Navarro hugs them... Fucking classic move by the writers man such a good ending
@@nogahlerman6137 dam I thot of that but now at the end of everything ur right the Ozark would of been concluded there cuz they would of caught del and Marty right then and there
The whole episode where Ben gets killed draws a lot of inspiration from Of Mice and Men
I'm going to say it. I've just finished Season 3. And it is my new favourite. Breaking Bad is No.2 now. This show is just insane. I feel emotionally invested in the characters. I actually care so much about them that I'd be really let down if Netflix doesn't commission another season.
Words can't describe how well Ben's actor portrayed him. The crying, the breakdowns, they were all portrayed perfectly and made me empathise with him more than any other character in the show.
Ben really hit me when he was in the jail cell when he said "no no no I don't wanna go there". 😭😭
His monologue in the cab…sick actor!
The scene where Helen was told that her husband "going away" would would make things easy and she said "no" and then Wendy killing Ben was the tipping point. It showed who was willing to make a sacrifice.
You’re right....The Byrdes were more of an asset than Helen.
Also, Marty helped Navarro by implicating the other feuding cartel on attacking on US soil to the FBI
Now that's a real "ending explained". Can't get enough of O3 guess I just have to rewatch it. haha
One big lesson is that they're good when they work together but failing if they fly solo.
MARTY RUN SHIT HE CAN FLY SOLO WINDY CAN'T
country too cool Wendy’s too emotional and Navarro knows thats
country too cool WINDY oh my god
@country too cool Wendy brings a lot to the table as well, like the idea to get the FBI to go after Navarro's enemy. She was power hungry and arrogant for a minute there, but she seems to appreciate Marty a lot more now and realizes they need to stick together. But yeah, Marty runs this shit lowkey.
No they explain anything it's any guess why they killed helen
Anybody got an explanation why Ruth lives in a broken down trailer when she’s Marty’s right hand gal in a big money gambling casino?
Dog! I said the same shit
Im like...if this bitch dont get her an apartment lol
You gotta understand the craziness of her life during the show. She has been threatened, tortured, and beat. Not to mention she lost almost 100% of her family. That trailer is the last comforting thing, it represents her old life and home. A lot of people can't just throw that all away.
Francis Joseph she could’ve still bought a house come on now 😂
@@josecorrales7998 nah the 10k rule
I think everyone misses the whole point about why Navarro is keeping the Byrdes. Think about this a moment. The minute he threw Marty into the hole, shit got real back in Arkansas. The casino was in real trouble due to the flagged deposit. Now, even Navarro didn't know how to fix that, and Marty fixed it in 10 seconds. Does that not tell him how valuable Marty really is to his whole operation there? And regardless of what he said on the phone, the phone call Wendy made to Navarro telling him about Ben was a smart move. It's easy for Navarro to act like he was blowing it off, but Wendy did the right thing. But I am still troubled by a few things about the Byrdes. Like the horse farm. Wendy was far too sympathetic to the lady at the farm. It shows she still isn't 100% willing to be soulless for the cartel. And you have to be.
Missouri, not Arkansas.
rogermurph101 haha I know right. And he says we’re missing the point lol
The horse farm thing was more telling Wendy she does his bidding not hers.
I agree it changed the whole power dynamic between Marty,Wendy and Helen. Navarro recognised that Marty was the lynch pin of the operation while he likes Wendys ideas he understands her nature and ambition the same as he does with Helen but no one can do what Marty does every time Navarro goes to Marty he has a solution ready for him the casino was Marty's idea originally Wendy did the grunt work to make it happen but she over reached by going after the second casino with Helen against Marty's wishes. Marty knew their primary job was to wash money Wendy wanted to secure a political base as that's her area of expertise but she let her ego and pride of wanting to out shine Marty blind her that set in motion a cascade of events that led to Marty staying in Navarro's dungeon but it also brought clarity to Navarro on who was really valuable to his organisation.
You didn't talk about Ruth and Jonah's future considering how it ended with them.
They will definitely become enemies of the Byrd's.
@Wylde Wylde oh shit I was confusing him with Wyatt my bad
@@Theelectroarcheologist I think the op may have meant to say wyatt too, instead of byrd
Jonah is severely hurt by his mom making the call to off Ben. He may not be able to forgive her, but I doubt he'd ever turn against his family. Ruth probably will though, she's had enough of Wendy.
Faith could be a possibility that she could be pregnant with bens child
Great video. After watching episode 9 , i would have a kill uncle Ben myself.
fernando jerman 😂😛
Hahaha fr dude. I would have let him stay just I don’t want any part of that
True. And Darlene is now my favorite character
Draxler Official why?
I can see it now, Darlene gunna get whacked next season.
The acting in this show is phenomenal... everyone just kills it. But damn, I sure could use a little comedic relief. This show is crazy intense, and it never takes it's foot off the viewer's throat. I can't binge watch more than a few episodes because after that, I'm too stressed out. It's still one of the best shows ever.
Hell, I have to take pauses every few minutes and watch something else before continuing.
This show is very intense but I’ve had some good laughs watching it too
Helen was the stray dog that Nelson was speaking of.
just came here to say: Who needs this season ending explained? Excellent writing, performances, soundtrack and editing. It's pretty much self explanatory.
I really don’t think Ben was killed. For one they never show him being killed, and they never actually show the body to confirm that it was actually Ben. I think Ben was taken to Mexico and will be used as leverage against Wendy in the next season. The actor was amazing and I doubt they would waste his character. (For the people who can’t handle someone having a different opinion, just remember, it’s just a theory. Relax and have a polite discussion)
Limitless21 I think the Same thing
Limitless 21 WOW....did not think of that, even though I had questioned if Ben had actually been killed. Can’t wait for next season.
Ben is dead, he was insignificant, he was there for the drama.
Pale Moon how do you know he’s dead? I just made a theory and gave you my reasons, at least give me your proof for why you think he’s not dead
but wat leverage? she already had to choose between her kids or him and she chose him dead. Why would the show make her choose again? Its not impossible, but it would be repetitive imo
The final line about their "beginning" is also said after Helen's blood is on all of them, referencing his "second baptism" true meaning. Navarro and his words are an institution of brevity and brutality.
One of the best series I’ve ever watched. Thinking of starting it again from s1 ep 1.
Finally finished season 3. Each show was filled with constant tension. The viewer rarely gets much of a break. Partly due to the multiple sudden deaths and rising tensions between the groups. (or families) Props to Bateman and his crew. And Mega props to the actors. love em ALL. Ruth was the glue. Wendy's character seemed crucial. Don't see many props to Peter Mullan (Jacob). That dude was smoother than Tennessee whiskey.
Yes yes yes agree completely . I can’t believe there are people who don’t like this drama or season . Poor taste
I just discovered this show and I'm all caught up after just a few days.. it's art! Netflix hasn't lost its touch!!
The Byrds did not miss an opportunity to run at the end of Season 2. Marty's travel arrangements were being monitored by the cartel. It was shown that they knew his web history. Wendy's last-minute decision to stay actually ended up saving them.
He clearly dint book a flight from his web page , he booked a sea plan exclusively from a travel agent !
Uncle Ben is winning the best supporting actor at the Emmy's this year..!!
He was robbed hard
Every line counts in this show and there is so much forshadowing and symbolism
OMG!!!!! You saw more than I did and I LOVE LOVE LOVE OZARK 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Also in the scene when Ben and Wendy woke up from police in the Walmart parking lot, the cop was impressed with Wendy’s knowledge about the law proving that Wendy is as smart or smarter that Helen.
Move over "Red Wedding". This is the biggest WTF ending I've EVER seen. I did NOT see that com'n. I was as shocked as Wendy and Marty.
Close but Red Wedding still too much of a gory shocker for me.
Red winning is far more shocking. Not only did you have a king die, but you had half of the family die along with a pregnant women being stabbed in the stomach over and over. Ben was here for 1 season, just to cause drama lol. Still believe he should get an award for it though. That fucking acting man!
I love that they didn't show Ben's death. Ep 9 was gut wrenching. Season 3 ruled
@movingonandup773 I think Ruth just didn't think Wendy would have her brother killed. When Wyatt said that to Ruth she thought about it and figured it out.
Ben is alive, just a gut feeling.
movingonandup773 Neither Ben or the therapist were actually shown getting killed, although they did show wrapped up bodies, not sure if it means they aren’t really dead or if they thought it would be too upsetting for viewers to see those two characters killed.
movingonandup773 That’s true about Sue and when she was killed, I assumed that they didn’t show anything too because of her not being a main character, plus she was older and kind of likable, I thought maybe they felt showing her getting killed would be too upsetting for viewers, but now it has me wondering if her body was the one being cremated, but then again why would Nelson keep her body? I can’t wait to see either, wish we didn’t have to wait for so long, lol.
movingonandup773 I do think that the "wrapping the body" aspect for Sue was to make the viewers think the same for Ben!! But as Sue wasn't a big part of the ongoing situation,we can be sure that she is dead.Can't really say that for Ben!! Nelson might've told Ben about Wendy and hence have him taken to Navaro!!
Or.. I might be wrong here,but what if the footsteps that we here in the end when Jonah shoots the window is actually Ben!!
The ending for 3rd season was just as fantastic as 1st season. You can see it coming, but the suddenness...BRILLIANT!!!
I had been putting off watching this show for some time, but man I am so elated that I gave it a chance! It's soooo good! Absolutely incredible. The acting, storylines, characters, plot twists, just everything. This show deserves every Emmy in its category.
Who all noticed that they were playing “time for me to fly” in Wendy’s dream, and then that was the song being played during Marty’s abduction?
Jack Brunk love that song!
Jack Brunk I noticed, not sure what the correlation between the two are though.
This show has me acting like Ruth in my head in just about every situation. I have to bite my tongue.
Man that Ben character actually depressed me 😞
I love how Helens wig got split at the end😂
Loved it when Wyatt asked Ruth if Ben might be too old for her, very funny
The way the badass music started after Helen got shot.... chills.... I’ve literally got chills.
Ben’s death hit a little too close to home for me. I’ve known people like Ben. I actually cried when Wendy got up from the booth in the restaurant. I had to keep reminding myself “it’s just a show. Ben was just a fictional character”. I’d have written it to where she drops been Ben in Tennessee and lies to Helen and Navarro and says that Ben committed suicide. And then the next season, they would be wondering if/when Ben would pop back up. I wouldn’t have killed the character off just yet. But...that’s just me and my over sensitivity.
Darn I haven't seen this show :(
A very good reason to give it a go though! Glad to see you're staying productive in this shitty time, cheers!
AlaskaBoyAlex why would you ruin this much for yourself?!
@@livedrummerboy26 Oh i didn't watch it! That's why i said darn, this guy is my favorite video essayist
This show is mind blowing. I don’t remember a show that caught my attention to the point where I couldn’t stop watching 😍❤️
GOT was unbelievable. This is close
Yeeeeah, Ben was definitely one of my favorite characters as soon as he hit the screen. That part where he tosses all the students phones into the wood chipper will always be one of my favorite scenes of any show or movie. RIP Ben! You had the shortest role, but left one of the biggest impacts on the show. 😄
I loved this video.
There are not enough RUclipsr s out there who can break down amazing shows in such an analytical/ philosophical way. I love learning what the artist was trying to portray scene by scene. It really puts their hard work to the top when persons like yourself make cool videos like this. Thanks
Please do more episode breakdowns of your favorite shows/movies/books/ music etc.....
We need to form a group chat for us " Ozark " roadies. U guys got some really good takes. How long before season 4?
2022 probably
Navarro didn't have Ben killed, he's worth more alive; Ben is being kept somewhere safe as leverage Navarro knows Wendy is loyal because she called him in. It was a test (which was foreshadowed). If Ben was really killed Wendy would be resentful, when she finds out Navarro spared Ben she will be grateful. The body you saw cremated was the therapist. Remember, you didn't see Ben get killed nor his face in the body bag. Wendy and Marty will be sworn to keep this a secret but will have to eventually let Ruth know in order to turn her from Darlene. Season 4 will open with this revelation.
Bruh, the therapist is short af and Ben is big
Yo you may be on to something here
He was killed man 😭
Navarro got rid of Helen because the idea to transfer his money to trust funds in his children's names came from Wendy and Helen tried to act like the idea was her own. Remember that Wendy was talking to Navarro regularly on the phone and Helen didn't find out until later. Obviously Wendy was keeping him updated on the scheme. Also Helen was not willing to kill her ex-husband and even endured waterboarding to protect him. Plus if Navarro had heard that Wendy and Marty had indeed cut a deal with the FBI, he knew that they would have never got on that plane to Mexico because they would have been immediately placed into the witness protection program.
Don’t forget that Wendy also told Navarro that they were planning the end the war with the FBI on board(something Helen wasn’t aware of)
@Christopher De Freitas- Exactly. The reason I didn't mention that is because the guy that did this video had already mentioned it. BUT I didn't realize that Helen was unaware of that plan.
@@focustd she was unaware because wendy believe she wasn't trusted anymore when wendy call her friend the guy who work from the shadows for her told her
Helen came and ask for a casino license
I’ve known a few people with mental illness and I will say Bens character was spot on. He reminded me of this guy I use to know in the past who was also a meth addict and when he wasn’t on it, he wasn’t mentally sound. His heart seemed like it was in the right place and we had some good times but there was always that angry chaotic side. He would always do things because it was in his nature to do so even though he acknowledged it was bad.
The acting all over this series is impeccable
Definitely, some of the best acting I've ever seen!
A whole video and you missed it. The FBI agent hit it when talking with Helen. Why was Helen concerned that Nelson might get the order against her from Navarro? Because, as the agent indicated, why would Helen offer to give up the Byrde's to the FBI knowing the condition was that the Byrde's would have to rat out Navarro? Helen didn't just want the Byrde's out of the way, she wanted Navarro out of the way and was in the bag for the rival cartel. Do you think the rival cartel had the information on the Byrde's and the drop without her help? Navarro figured it out.
I think you're right, whole time I was wondering how a rival cartel from Mexico somehow finds out a secluded meet up spot at just the right time.
I think we might find out in Season 4 that the rival cartel might have people living in Ozark to keep an eye on Marty and Wendy. Eduardo must have some of his people there and learned he couldn't trust Helen to monitor Marty's business's that launder the cartel's money. Eduardo lost most his family to his rivals so he will want to get even in Season 4.
Watching Helen die was so satisfying
Yes I had to watch it over!
I knew it would happen but it still startled me
im so pissed that i have to wait another year lol
magzire same!
On top of that Add some more months of Corona as well.. That shit stopped every fucking thing.
A year? Wishful thinking... Will be 2 or even 3. Going to be a looooong wait.
@@effortlessGFX you must be fun at parties -.-
tell me bout it haha
Wow nice video, just finished the series and had similar toughts!
Awesome to hear, thank you!
This show is so good, like you hate every character but you love every character, you get invested into every character and the plot, this is a show where every line said matters in the long run, the writing is amazing and the acting is absolutely brilliant
I loved this season soo much emotion!
I watched the entire series in 4 days .
Same here.
Ditto. Absolutely transfixed. Best series since Breaking Bad.
Let's not forget that at the start the series, Helen was being waterboarded. This means that Navarro was wary of her all along.
Well done! The quality of the entire video was good along with your breakdown of the ending.
Thank you!
This is hands down the most impeccable acting I have ever seen in any drama ( Laura Linney and Jason Bateman , Julia Garner/Ruth , Tom Pelphrey/ Ben) First class acting right down to the bone . Their characters are really tough to act out and these fine folks deserve a long standing ovation . No other drama can TOP this . Great story line and suspense . Absolutely gripping . Season 3 was mind blowing . Season 4 gonna be superb !
Helen: _You'd tell me if you ever get the call about me, right?_
Nelson: *Oh la la...*
I knew she was gonna die when I saw that scene
Ben was the highlight of Season 3 and I think it's possible that he might not be dead. They never showed him getting killed despite always being graphic about most other killings. Perhaps someone else was brought home in the body bag?
When I tell you my jaw dropped when Helen was shot by Nelson, oh my god I am still in shock.
The entire show, cast, writers, location of the show was brilliant. Jason Bateman has came a long way from his days on Hogans Hero. Can't wait to see what the final season brings.
