@@BryceEdwardBrown I been watching your channel for over a year or two I think. Thank you for your analysis as always.

[@ibrahimrobinson8508]

I view the Ozarks as a take on corruption. In the Ozarks, you see corruption on all levels throughout the series. Even those of faith in the early seasons, even the United States government does this so as long as Marty can keep the money rolling in. I think that is my biggest takeaway on the series for me. Because we even see how money even pits family members against each other. Wendy and her brother. Wendy and her son. Omar Navarro is against his whole family really just not his sister or nephew. You could even see Navarro's own words become corrupted because he says he doesn't kill kids and then threats to do just that in the next episode. Money and power are great and all but, at what cost did Marty and their family pay for that?

[@yasmincastro892]

At the end, Marty´s family didn´t pay for anything

I really thought Mel was pulling up w a whole hidden swat team to arrest the Byrdes for life at the end. I knew he was going to be the one to figure out everything and, I defiantly thought he was smarter than just pulling up alone.

Ricky Perez reaching out to you to further explain his role is so cool! Great analysis :)

[@weeverob]

I wasn't crazy about the final minutes of season four being an adequate ending after being with the Byrds for 4 years. It completely felt like a cliffhanger reserved for leading into season 5. A great, final ending for the show would have been each of the Byrds, alone, looking straight into the camera, at us, speaking to us their thoughts about the last 4 years and what they did in the future as a flashback to us. I would even include Camilla is this final farewell. For myself the ending did not seem final that if the producers wished they could return with another season next year.

ABOUT NAS: Ruth's talk with Killer Mike about not sleeping, because.."you know".. Nas has a line on Illmatic "I never sleep, cuz sleep is the cousin of death" (like you metioned), The Cousin of Death being the name of the episode, AND also representing what would happen later, as she kills the man who put her cousin to death. Layers haha

[@jonbois9802]

My thing is why didn’t Shaw spill the beans on the Byrdes when she told Camilla what happened to her son, I mean she couldn’t stand them an episode earlier…On top of that Ruth could’ve had them killed also when Camilla confronted her about killing her son a long dialogue of nothing I just knew she was about to tell it all

[@scottieboy5429]

Everyone I know, knows I adore breaking bad. A stranger, while i was making them coffee, heard me talking about it. They kindly intruded and told me “you’d love ozark”…years later I’m grateful they said that lol

[@thebigblueviolence]

A few more notes about Ruth's death- only Wyatt can see Russ before his own death and its a premonition in a sense that the day of her death she's with her dead family. Furthermore Marty can leverage Nelson's body on her property as her fault to use her as a further scapegoat post story should she need proof Nelson didn't just vanish lying in wait to get Camilla down the line. Still I wish they did Ruth better but it did wrap up well enough. Where I loved Breaking Bad for the stranger interconnected nature tied to far less realism, Ozark excelled in being more realistic but the continuity a little more subtle. BB will still be my fave but Ruth is my fave character by a long shot in this show

[@Artemis-eu5ql]

I'm mad the way the show ended It so good I just wanted a season 5 of them making it out.

[@PeacefulParadise10]

Just finished watching the whole show. I decided to watch it after seeing the trailer because Ozark reminded me of Breaking Bad. I'm not sure what the majority of the viewers' opinion of the ending is, but I'm really angry and disappointed. I feel like after all the crime and bad deeds the Byrde family committed throughout the show, they didn't deserve a happy ending. In my opinion, they should have faced consequences for what they did. All the deaths they caused and lives they ruined and they get to go off into the sunset a happy family. Overall, Ozark was a good show, with the exception for the ending. The ending just didn't make sense to me and the show would've been a great one if it had a better ending, in my opinion.

[@Dilmahkana]

The fact the corrupt people who used strong arm tactics and threats, stepped over everyone in their way, while dealing directly with massive crime that causes so much suffering go free- that's pretty normal in the real world, to be fair. Ozark has never really been a show of 'satisfaction' (which is where I think it differs hugely to breaking bad). I remember never being that 'pumped' or hyped by people's actions or "moments", but I was hyped by the show's overall writing of character and the world (if you get me?). In the more thematic story (the Byrder family's efforts to create a better present and future for their family and doing anything to ensure it), it makes sense to me. Just becaues we all loved Ruth, it doesn't mean she deserved the 'happy' ending. Just because the Byrdes are the definition of toxic, it doesn't mean they would pay for their sins.

[@andreita002]

@@Dilmahkana i agree with you, corrupt people make it in this world meanwhile the nice honest ones are stepped on all over…BUT even so the ending was so underwhelming to me, for such a great show I was expecting the shock factor or a big twist at the end but no…Jonah coming out and shooting Mel was so predictable. Ruths death doesnt bother me because after killing Javi she had to die…I just expected more.

[@Dilmahkana]

@@andreita002 Just thinking out loud, has the show had much shock factor or big twists? Ben's death wasn't either, because they wrote the build up and acted it so well. The shock was the slow realisation what Wendy was doing and therefore was capable of doing. The Camilla 'twist' was more a realisation that the power hunger and revenge element is everywhere. For me, again thinking out loud, it was a sad shock that Jonah came out with the gun, I thought Mel was just gonna kill them as he seemed on edge and a bit off. The Byrd's solidarity is so demented and that was *the* perfect way to show that.

I was always thought Wendy is to go, episode pound of flesh still kicking was Wendy, it turned surprising.

[@cmasterson]

Also “the cousin of death” is literally Ruth that’s why she says “I can’t sleep”. Doesn’t want to end up like her cousin and doesn’t want to accept his death that’s why she sees him on the roof. She hasn’t let go.

[@aroyalaustralian]

Many people witness dead relatives on their death bed. Closer to the after life than earth, it’s a very common phenomenon. Even many who survive major, life saving surgery, speak of seeing dead relatives. Ruth’s days were numbered the moment she avenged her cousins death. At first it was only Wyatt, but the full cast of family characters as she began pulling down the old to make way for the new signalled she wouldn’t be alive to see her project completed. Death was no longer one day soon, but crouching at her door… Ruth’s dignity when her killer emerged out of the shadows was breathtaking.

[@thekid8832]

Ruth deserved everything that came her way in this season. Good and bad she spent 14 episodes pissing off the cartel thinking that Marty would protect her "They'll never kill me Marty would never let it happen" She was Darlene's business partner, Darlene got killed for it. Then she killed the F***ing cartel's boss and THEN she stole the cartel main money laundering business. Her death had nothing to do with the Byrde's "happy ending"

What I would really like to know is where is "darlene's" baby? Who by this time should be a toddler. She adopted the baby so all her assets should go to the kid and NOT Ruth.

[@h33-q8w]

He wasn't hers yet. She hadn't fostered him long enough to adopt. So unfortunately he went back into the system, and had to rights to Darlenes assets. Technically tho neither did Wyatt. They had only been married for like 2 hours? It would have been way harder for Ruth to make that case and get all Darlenes shares. Marty and Wendy definitely could have beat Ruth in court.

[@TwoBs]

Aside from how whiny they made Ruth become (girl, we get that you lost your cousin and who you perceived to be your “love”, but you killed your uncles and shrugged off your own dad dying, you’ve zero room to berate others over morality or actions lol), I was largely annoyed with how Zeke went out the window when it came to the plot. After Wyatt … nada. He was brought back to Ruth after being known as a missing child, but then it’s like the kid disappears from the plot entirely. All that time spent where Wendy talked about getting him back and Jonah being concerned about him, everyone upset Darlene had him, the whole issue of social services trying to take him and Wyatt proposing … to then be but a lost asset in the plot like Wyatt’s guitar. Filler. We saw that baby go from a newborn to almost a toddler. Kid grown on the show, but due to how much was happening in the last few episodes … Zeke who? lol No one cares, no one speaks of him, Ruth doesn’t have him, Wendy doesn’t bother, kids never mention him ever again. Just annoying when so much of a show is spent on certain things to only have those certain things became forgotten background noise because they’ve introduced too many new people and plots with all new issues for the last season …

[@martinezandy15]

[@jojoklaus9339]

Unpopular Opinion- I actually felt satisfied by the ending. I guess most fans are sad about Ruth dying and the Byrdes getting their way out. But if you ever watched the show closely Ruth's death was pretty evident from previous seasons. The Langmore curse, Brydes (birds) invading the locals and destroying them, and most importantly the way Marty would backout on Ruth. Always had an intuition that even though Ruth killed her own to save Marty, he would never do the same (which sort of makes a good betrayal plot). He did care for her on surface level but could never put anyone else above his family. So a situation where Marty gets to save Ruth but risks his own, he would never choose her like she did.
