guess who's in Ozark season 3 Tom Pelphrey from iron fist I'm so happy
with my sum and then when I found out how big his rulings how good it is oh it
made me so happy I mean if you thought he was good on iron fist and he was so
good of an iron fist we were like give this guy more to do and Jason Bateman
and Ozark have done that you ain't seen nothing yet I mean and I was looking
into Tom Palfrey like who is this guy why don't we not see more of him until
now and do you know that he was also on the show banshee do you know who else
was on that show Anthony storm who of course is now a breakout star on the
boys if I were a casting directors seeing how that cast is now 2 for 2 on
other shows I go through who was left with a fine-tooth comb
cuz Phil will be the next breakout star for banshee
although it doesn't make me want to watch Banshee for some interesting
reason I don't know why let's see how desperate I get as this sheltering in
place continues August's it was so long ago but you're gonna want to watch Ozar
watch or Ozarks coming on Friday all right so let's be honest we all know
that Ozark got a little lazy with season 2 and Jason Bateman wasn't it enough
episodes it was a real bait and switch I mean with all due respect to laura-leigh
I don't tune in to Ozark to watch Laura Linney although she has a very good
season however Ozark then won a bunch of awards and I believe that Jason Bateman
realized that this show is very likely his future he's like I'm gonna get back
on that and get back on it he has he's back baby a full-time member of the cast
and a season that's so intense I loved this so much that I feel it's on course
as I tweeted immediately I have to finish it fishing my screeners that it's
on course to be the new Breaking Bad another show where a regular person
turns out to be really good at crime right like not only am I good at crime
but I'm better than most criminals at crime it's a wonderful fantasy
I think that's one of the part of the fun like I've done I could do crime -
that's like that's the wrong take away from this show all right so this is a
non-spoiler review don't worry the spoiler review will come on Friday but I
will tell you that the end of season 3 don't want it non-spoiler was so
incredible that I couldn't believe what I just witnessed it was so not only so
good from a story perspective it's so well shot and so shocking there to
immediately rewind it like finish the show and then go back and like cuz it
was like right at the very end I was like I didn't finish it and go oh let's
watch that again I was like did I just see what I thought I saw and I
immediately rewound it and watched it again and then I thought real bad that I
have to wait for season 4 oh it's gonna be good alright so without spoilers let
me tell you what I like about ozark season 3 everything go I have specifics
alright so first this season is no longer about just survival but also
ambition what a combat survival and ambition Marty and particularly Wendy
both realize that this is their new life so what kind of life is that going to be
this is a very well-written show I think on the surface it might just seem like
another growing show but it's really interesting and what it's exploring so
from you have the perspective of a brilliant accountant who can play the
numbers and there's a little bit of backstory on Marty - which I thought was
very interesting to a skilled lobbyist coming from politics who's used to
dealing with sharks I was gonna say who thinks she knows how to deal with sharks
but I kind of think Wendy does it's just like bigger sharks than she's ever dealt
with before now one of the best lines in season three after what do you want
which pops up early on in the season but then has a brilliant callback at the end
of the season like wow this is much better writing than you would expect on
the show consider it done enough people pay attention to it although if you're a
fan of Bill I believe bill Dubuque right I wasn't planning to include him in my
notes in my review so it's off the top of my head he's from the accountant but
you know I don't believe it's actually written any of the episodes this season
there were Jason Bateman directs I think just the
first two episodes the writers and directors on this season did a really
phenomenal job they deserve as much credit as everyone who's on screen so
there's not only that great line what do you want but then there is a really
quiet sequence where Wendy tells her daughter and the bird children continue
to be very well cast they're like many they're particularly many Laura Linney's
extremely well cast I'm often like I just show they're not actually
especially Charlotte I'm like bitch that's not actually her daughter all
right so anyway Wendy tells your daughter that people mess up and the
best you can do is acknowledge it you know just admit it don't lie to yourself
and do your best to just keep going and that's the birds to a tee and that's
actually I think pretty good advice they're trying to move ahead and not die
doing so but since they continue to not fully grasp but they work for a drug
cartel they make a lot of mistakes I think they don't understand it partially
and they also don't want to understand it partially there's so many great
surprises we're gonna have such a good time in the spoiler review they this
they take it so many interesting places I don't know what's left for season four
but I'm sure they have a list because this is a very good talented group of
people they make shocking fascinating mistakes as their situation escalates
not only bad in a bad way but it's still a good way oh it's really good
now as for mark now as Marty and Wendy try to carve out a future for themselves
it's also really interesting to see how they work in terms of business and
politics those are the worlds they're coming from compared to the other
organizations in play here the drug cartel the kentucky mafia you know the
truck and truck there and the truckers who would take a little bit of a bigger
role this season Darlene's hillbilly operation you know I
don't really think there was anywhere to go with Darlene but they found they
found some places to go again spoiler review and then even the FBI I love how
they're brought in and what becomes very clear not just to the audience but also
the characters themselves it's how these organizations are not
just different but also how they're the same one thing that Marty says to a new
character Maya Miller I loved it so much cuz that's how I personally feel about
stuff it was great oh is really good oh good we'll talk
about it the spoiler review on that note is great to see the world of Ozark
expand the casino set oh it looks great I'm not sure part of like it's part of
it CGI but I don't know I mean they shoot most of us in Atlanta it's pretty
affordable in Atlanta for productions I think they probably just built it
sometimes the roof of the casino looked a little bit like I felt like maybe
there was a glitch in the matrix that was like that just shimmer a little bit
but anyway look good I thought the casino set looked great and that was a
concern we had after season two they wouldn't be able to fulfill that promise
of a new storyline but it looked good there's another casino that briefly
factories factors in which didn't look quite as good that looked very CGI I was
like I don't think that building is really there so anyway the Atlanta
locations they'll also continue to be used very very well and the birds are
starting to feel at home here and there's one shot you'll know it when you
see it with Marty bird and Tom Pelphrey on a speedboat it's very quick but the
way Marty pulls out of the of the pier is so cool and he has such command of
the boat and the way his men's shirt ripples in the wind I was like I finally
get boats it was one of those moments where I was just like that's really cool
it made a big impression on me all right I was like so jason bateman really drive
a boat that well he's peeled out of there man it was great
now not only are the birds stuck in the middle of a tornado of their own making
but so is Ruth and it's not a tornado of her own making although to some degree
dish she's contributed a little bit which is explored this season but she's
in the middle of the birds torneio and that's also something that her character
is starting to realize Julia Garner fresh off of her own Emmy win gets
another juicy season here and where her character ends up emotionally and
physically will surprise and I believe delight you great great arc Bateman
who's now been recognized for his acting and his directing on this show also
deservedly so continues to be without a doubt Ozarks Walter White but very much
his own character he's not a Walter White ripoff but I'd say I say that with
as a as a as a compliment I think it's I think marty bird is that good a
character as Walter and then you gotta admit they're cut
from the same cloth but I can't tell you how much I appreciate that Laura Linney
is not Skyler white with all due respect to that character that show did what it
needed to do but I really liked having here a wife who is in on the action
making her own moves it's really refreshing to see and while Lenny has
yet to win anything for the show she's been nominated but she hasn't won yet
that might change with this season oh boy Palfrey is playing her brother and
the way their relationship evolves is not only a gift from the acting gods but
I believe also a gift from the awards God's a hood so I just couldn't believe
what I was watching the way this thing progressed I mean Palfrey become who he
becomes who his character becomes it's jaw-dropping to watch and it's all
averaging know the effects needed he does it all with acting and it's so
incredible to watch that's all I can say the entire cast is as usual quite good
with Janet McTeer now a full-on lead this season and she does a lot of heavy
lifting herself and Charlie taemin's Wyatt since his I
got to say we've seen Charlie tahan around for a while and it's very weird
to see where his story behind goes but he sells it he makes it believable and
then ask for new characters Felix solace is both terrifying and enigmatic is drug
lord Navarro finally on the scene himself and then Jessica Francis Dukes
is a very welcome addition as that FBI agent Maya Miller who makes for an
excellent foil but also an ally for Bateman's Marty seem to be able to talk
numbers with another character it's pretty cool I'm excited too I don't want
to give anything away all right so if you enjoyed even a little bit o psyche
season wanna know Zarek season two you will love ozark season three spoiler
