Ozark Season 4 - Part 1

The black comedy continues. Ruth (Julia Garner) has rejected the family.. all but Jonah (Skylar Gaertner) who shares her loss for Uncle Whatsisname, and he becomes her 'washer' for Darleen's heroin. Garner is sixth billed, or something, but she's the star of the show as far as I'm concerned. Meanwhile the situation with Novarro (Felix Solis) is complicated by the entrance of his nephew, who turns out to be (literally) a bloody nuisance.

Q's finding Wendy (Laura Linney) sets her teeth on edge: her smugness, her wilful way of defying people, interfering and making situations worse. Marty (Jason Bateman) is great because he's so calm and always thinking ahead.

In an odd turn of events, Darlene (Lisa Emery) and Wyatt (Charlie Tahan) are dating. A match made in heaven. Darlene's great line on Wendy: "I'd burn her at the stake if I didn't think the devil himself would show up and save her." Did think Darleen wasn't going to make it through to the end of episode 7 but wasn't expecting what did happen. Loved Ruth blowing up. Intrigued that Robin Wright directed some episodes.
