Ozark

Season Four

Just finished this show. Marty and Wendy Byrde have been through so much. They have uprooted their family and have moved to Ozark from Chicago. And now they get to go back to Chicago!

Starting with season one, Marty has been working with cartal for years. When his partner embezzled money from them, he was murdered along with his girlfriend. Marty is then forced to make up the money and decided to move away to keep his family alive. And he moves to the Ozark. He has made big promises that he can get more money for his business partners; and on the side make some for himself.

During all this, Marty gets other people in the Ozark involved without their knowledge of who his business partners are. Marty gets deeper and deeper and sees no way out. They Bryde’s bring in more people to help with their adventure; and a lot of people get hurt in the process.

Marty, Wendy and their two kids have been just living from day to day trying to stay alive. Wendy is involved from the beginning; and together they come up with plans that will hopefully work. They get deeper and deeper with no signs of getting out of the Ozark.

All the seasons are a must watch. You will get caught up in the mess that goes on in every episode. You will be shocked, on the edge of your seat and then relieved with the outcome in every episode. Most normal people could not go through everything this family had to. For them, it’s like waking up from a nightmare. Hope you enjoy the show.

Then it is fast forwarded to Miguel waking up every morning to be the first person Rebecca sees when she wakes up. He insist on taking care of her in every way.
