After unwillingly finding themselves at the mercy of the cartel, moving to the swampy suburbs as a key cog in a drug ring and the owners of an actual casino, the Byrde family’s get out from their unlikely path as criminal masterminds is finally in sight.
Ozark season 4 has arrived, or at least half of it, and Marty, Wendy and their children Charlotte and Jonah are close to returning to their lives in Chicago. Or at least that’s the unreachable dream.
Following on from the blood bath of the season three final, it’s a new chapter for Marty and Wendy which begins by picking out bits of their former lawyer Helen Pierce out of their hair after she was shot by the Navarro cartel after, against her better judgment, the Byrdes proved to be far more valuable.
Of course, her disappearance was never going to go unnoticed for long and, naturally, the Byrde family are among the first people interrogated by a private investigator hired by Helen’s husband.
Although, that’s hardly even makes the list of their concerns.
Omar Navarro is looking to get out of the cartel himself, but his loose cannon of a nephew Javi Elizonndro is looking ahead to take over his uncle’s cartel and has absolutely no obligation to keep the Byrde family on side or even alive at all – and they know it.
What’s more their family is falling apart.
