Review of Ozark

Ozark (2017–2022)
8/10
A great show ruined by an horrible season finale
27 March 2024
Ozark was such an amazing show during his 3 first seasons, a masterpiece of drama combining poignant intrigue, mastered production, meticulous writing touched by a dose of skillfully distilled black humor. It's was one of my favorites shows and one of the few that I rated 10 but now i just give it a 8 because the season finale has completely ruined my love for this show because this season 4 was so bad oh my god...

For real Ozark season 4 is one of the worst seasons finales i've ever seen with Dexter season 8, Peaky blinders season 6, GOT season 8, TWD season 11, House of cards season 6, Vikings season 6, Westworld season 4, etc... and i don't understand why i was the only one shocked by how bad this season finale was ?

Season 4 is lack of action, tension or typical Ozark's plot twist/violence. The pace is extremely slow and storyline does not conclude properly. Everything goes so fast around the last 30 minutes, and so many questions to answer. It's predictable, and weak compared to the quality of the 3 first seasons, did they switch of writers or what ?

There was characters coming in and out and one minute they all hate each other and then don't. It was just inconsistent and felt like they weren't sure how to finish everything. A lot of plots ultimately lead to nothing more than a pointless storyline.

The ending is a joke, it doesn't feel like an ending. Just a regression of most of the characters and the final scene is nonsense in every conceivable way. Ozark ending fails while Sopranos ending doesn't. The writers did not spend any effort on the final and find how to resolve the built-up tension through four seasons! It felt like a last-minute homework of a terrible student. What a waste, this season finale just ruins the show !
