Ozark on netflix

[JMT1979]

The last season was hugely disappointing and big drop in quality from what came before. Too many characters acting out of character, and that car crash took all the tension out as you knew nothing would happen to the Byrds until that point. Also, too many threads were left open and the show feels unresolved.

IDK, their showing up unannounced AFTER an agreement was in place would have put the Ruth we'd seen prior to this on even HIGHER alert.

Ruth had no shortage of street smarts, and even a blithering idiot would have turned the damn car around, never mind the contextual presupposition that would have had the GIANT CARTEL SUV parked out of sight in the first place if someone was lying in wait or otherwise ready for skullduggery.

As for Mel, he had (a) video evidence of Wendy all but handing her brother off to the cartel hitman for execution and (b) Ben's ashes proving that her story about his disappearance was a blatant lie. You don't give a person like her any heads up regarding evidence or a pending arrest, and you certainly don't do it without your gun drawn or having backup. Even if Jonah wasn't there, Mel would know that she or Marty wouldn't hesitate to call the cartel to have him killed the moment he left their property. Sorry, but in Mel's case they threw logic out the window in order to get to the ending they wanted.

Yes; it was underlined in the script that he was *very* good at his job. No one that good was going to conveniently monologue at the villains he pegged at 9 out of Evil.

And Jonah was out of character too. While his role models were terrible and he was already a white collar criminal and an accessory after the fact (at least) he was never built up to be a cold-blooded killer and certainly had no reason to protect the mother he openly despised (for good reason).

Despite some inconsistencies, I still hugely enjoyed the show.

Is illegally obtained evidence even admissible?
