If you have been a fan of Ozark, you will admit that it's been one restless journey towards the final season.

Heading 3

we meet this couple in the series' final season, there's a lot that has happened and yet, they never fail to leave us surprised by the sheer darkness in them.

Heading 2

The whole appeal of Ozark has been that it shows the deepest, darkest levels at which humans can function when need be.

Heading 2

Funnily enough, it's a family drama about twisted parents who needed some serious intervention than the other way round that would happen in a regular drama.

Heading 2

In many ways, the series despite its storyline being about surviving in a high stakes environment, the pace of the episodes has remained the same since the beginning.

Heading 2

The makers take their time to establish and relish the situations that these characters are in. Even the element of character deaths hasn't been the kind that creates shock value.

Heading 2

Ozark never lets you think about the dead, it's all about those living and the cost at which they do so.

Heading 2

After Wyatt and Darlene, there are other characters as well who gets killed off early on in the final season.

Heading 2

The gory scenes return and I remember thinking, is it even an episode of Ozark if you don't see Marty and Wendy wiping off some blood.

Heading 2

Amid all the ugly mess though, one of the final season's best bits lies in exploring Ruth's emotional state of mind.

Heading 2

Driven by rage and grief all at once, it's a devastating phase for her with no one to truly trust and Julia Garner conveys all that and more with her arresting performance.

Heading 2

Garner's superpower is how well she can go from being an absolute mess to being a badass gun-totting, vengeful version of the same Ruth. You're left both scared for her as well scared of her.

Heading 2

The good thing about Ozark is also that it has found the perfect time to wrap up. Anything more than the fourth season for this storyline would have been an unnecessary stretch.
