Laura Linney’s performance as Wendy is all the more chilling because her face says apple pie, but everything she does curdles into evil. Meanwhile, Jason Bateman’s Marty is a study in how far a pragmatic accountant can go into the depths of wickedness without the strain showing on his face.
After ending the third season with a bang (pun intended), "Ozark" begins its fourth and final arc with a nail-biting sense of purpose, as the Byrdes continue their dangerous dance with people who you really don't want to get on their bad sides. Increasing the kids' role without losing any of its potency, this Netflix drama remains among TV's best, unfolding with a perpetual state of dread.

Ozark returns to prove its worth in the genre by remaining a riveting and satisfying crime drama to its bitter (almost) end.
Season four is at its best when it deftly manages constantly shifting alliances and character developments within those emotional flares. ... Laura Linney is firing on all cylinders this season, sliding in nanoseconds from honey-sweet do-gooder businesswoman to hemlock-lethal crime boss.
With the concluding seven episodes still under lock and key, it remains to be seen whether Bateman and co can pull of an ending as devastating as that of The Sopranos or Breaking Bad. But Ozark’s long farewell is certainly off to a gripping start.
Part 1 isn’t the end, so much as a chance to take stock in what’s kept us coming back to “Ozark” each season. Be it the thrills, the performances, or morbid curiosity, Mundy’s series is still searching for more meaning in its final hours. When Part 2 hits, we’ll finally hear how much “Ozark” has to say.
The show nods here and there to what it is that Marty and Wendy want beyond to survive, and it’s there things genuinely pick up. ... In moments, one sees the version of “Ozark” that has a sense of these people, beyond their capacity to withstand extreme tension. But they’re too fleeting to dwell on. Better, perhaps, to embrace the ride, to speed on to the next kill.
Definitely one of the best shows at the moment. Story is unrelentingly captivating every episode and watching the characters develop overtime makes Ozark a must watch.

SEASON 4
Season four picks up right after an emotional whiplash ending of season 3, and procedurally loses itself starting with Darlene and Wyatt's relationship. The absurdity of everything and the blue-sepia filter becomes difficult to connect with in this season. The believable and well written dialogue of prior seasons shifts to all your favorite characters becoming cartoon villain versions of themselves. Nearly everything that was once hyper-real is now a tongue in cheek mimicry of its past glory.

SEASON 4
Ozark is a mediocre series that failed to live up to my expectations. The last season in particular was quite disappointing. Laura Linney's performance as the lead character became increasingly unbearable as the series progressed. The ending made little sense. Overall, I would not recommend this series to others.
