Ozark (2017–2022)
6/10
3-1/2 Great seasons ruined by a horrible ending

Warning: Spoilers
How can a showrunner justify letting the "Teflon Byrds" get away scot-free with all of the awful things they did? Wendy Byrd became this soulless empty thing with a heart black & shriveled. The ONE character who pulled themselves up from nothing, cleaned up their record, and started an honest life is the one who dies in the last episode????? It would've been better if they had Ruth Langmore shoot Wendy Byrd. The message this sent was that as long as you have enough money and the right connections, you can get away with murder and mayhem. At the beginning, I felt sorry for Marty Byrd because he'd accidentally become part of something bad. By the end of the series, he was simply a coward who wouldn't stand up to Wendy, and truly protect those who needed his protection. Especially Ruth Langmore, who did more for him than any other character throughout the series. The final episode reminds me of the ridiculousness of the final episode of Game of Thrones. Both shows had been excellent, but went out like a fish out of water, flopping about on a boat. The writers and directors should be flogged for ruining such great shows.
