- [Narrator] Hello friends.
This will be my recap of the first three seasons of Ozark.
Oh, let's go.
So season 1 starts off with Marty getting hit
with the biggest brick I've ever seen.
But I'm not saying Marty was bricked up, no, no, no,
the guy who was sleeping with his wife,
that guy was bricked up,
and Marty got a video of the whole thing.
But that's not important.
What's important is that Marty is then forced to work
for the Mexican drug cartel, called the Navarro cartel.
And to do so, he goes to the Ozarks with his whole family,
and pretends that everything's okay with his wife, Wendy,
because the cartel has somebody to watch their family 24/7.
Wendy also doesn't hesitate to tell their kids,
Charlotte and Jonah, that they're working
for a Mexican drug cartel to stay alive.
And then move into their new house,
which comes with a dying old man, by the name of Buddy.
But soon after moving in,
Marty gets robbed by Russ and Boyd Langmore,
but he gets most of his money back after meeting Ruth,
who he later hires and trusts to run some of the businesses
in order to clean the money.
But things get complicated when an FBI agent
by the name of Petty,
comes into town to investigate Marty.
And to do so, he tries to use Russ Langmore,
but they both fall in love with each other.
Petty then gets Russ to turn on Ruth, who is his niece,
confessed that Marty's running money
for the Mexican drug cartel.
But since Ruth appreciated what Marty has done for her,
she didn't say anything.
And this is when I knew Ruth was a bad-ass and ride or die,
because Russ and Boyd goes to kill Marty
because they want to take his money and run away.
But Ruth made the hard decision
of putting both of them to sleep permanently.
So yeah, she killed them.
And that left her favorite cousin, Wyatt without a father.
But one thing I quickly learned in this show
is that once they solve one problem,
two more pop up.
And these two problems are Jacob and Darlene Snell,
and they run the largest opium farm in the Ozarks.
And sadly for Marty, he was forced to work with them too.
So both Marty and the Snell's found out that the best way
to distribute the drugs is on the water.
And the best way of doing it at the time
is through this little dummy, by the name of Mason,
who is literally a preacher on water,
but he quickly gets tired of it
and tells the Snells that he wants out.
But the Snells rip the baby out of his wife,
and killed her.
But at least he gets to keep the baby.
Anyways, the Snells then turn on Marty,
who decides it's time to get out of the Ozarks.
But before they could do so, the cartel member
that watches them 24/7 tries to stop them.
The old man, Buddy, who's still alive,
comes in and kills him,
which makes an even bigger mess
because the representative of the cartel
by the name of Del, comes into town.
Petty then convinces Del that there's more money
to be made with the Snells.
So Marty and Del go and negotiate with Jacob and Darlene.
And after deciding to build a casino in the waters,
Darlene shoots and kills Del
because she's absolutely crazy.
So season 1 ends with the Byrdes
flocking together in the Ozarks. All right?
Yeah.
Anyways, with season 2,
we're introduced to Helen Pierce,
whose basically the lawyer for the Navarro cartel,
and she's also like six foot three.
Anyways, since the Snells are like me
and are also scared of Helen,
they leave the Byrde family alone for now.
So the Byrdes,
but mainly Wendy focus on opening a casino on the water.
And that brings it to the Kansas City mob,
which is run by Fran Cosgrave,
who will let the Byrdes up in the casino,
but thanks to Buddy,
he agrees as long as he gets his cut.
Buddy then burns the Snell's poppy field
in order to help the Byrdes
avoid FBI investigation the next day.
But sadly for him, the next day never comes
because he never wakes up.
So adios Buddy.
And continuing the turn of bad news,
Ruth's father, Cade Langmore,
gets out of prison and shows us exactly
why he was in prison in the first place.
And the dummy Mason comes back into town,
preaching like a madman and gets his child taken away.
And in order to get that child back,
he captures Wendy and holds her at gunpoint to get Marty
to pull a few strings to get the child back,
and he does.
But Mason wasn't listening to reason,
so Marty shoots him in the neck and he bleeds out.
They didn't take the baby who is named Zeke into the family.
And speaking of family,
Darlene poisons and kills Jacob because they both disagree
on how to handle the Byrdes.
She then goes to the Byrdes and tell them that
if they don't give her Baby Zeke,
she's going to stop the casino from ever happening.
So they gave her Baby Zeke because not giving her baby Zeke
means dying.
But remember,
solving one problem means that two more pop-up,
and the first problem is Caitlin Moore,
who not only try to Rob the Byrdes by using Ruth,
but thanks to that,
Ruth tells Wyatt that she killed his father,
and the relationship falls apart.
But Cade also went to agent Petty
to get him to go after Marty.
But agent Petty says, "No," and Cade kills him.
This is when I realized that I absolutely hated Wendy,
because she's the second problem that pops up.
And that's because of two things,
the first is that Wendy calls a hit on Cade,
and the second reason is that instead of making plans
to get away from the cartel,
Wendy's does made plans with Helen
to get in deeper with the cartel,
which makes Marty absolutely terrified of his wife.
The season ends with their family opening their casino.
In season 3, ironically,
the Byrde's face three major problems,
of course with like 10,000 minor problems.
And like how I assume Marty stays organized
and manages his team,
you could do the same with a user ClickUp,
can help you stay organized
or just make a simple to-do list,
like reminding Wendy that the cartel can be trusted
and making sure that we all know
that Marty Byrde is a genius.
And we're just $5,
you could get unlimited storage and a ton of other perks.
Linked to signup is down below.
But the first problem is Wendy Byrde,
who wants to prove to Navarro,
who is the leader of the cartel,
that it can be trusted with even more money.
She does exactly that,
but it is then forced to buy a new casino.
And after purchasing said casino,
the FBI is brought back into the play,
who are led this time around by agent Maya Miller,
who is pregnant.
And honestly, after what happened to the last pregnant lady,
I'm scared for her.
Anyways, due to Navarro's relationship with Wendy
and the fact that he's at war with another cartel,
Navarro captures and drags Marty to Mexico
to see if the business can run without him,
which he finds out that it completely falls apart
without Marty,
which due to Marty being captured,
Wendy realizes that they need to get away from the cartel.
So they're finally seeing eye to eye again,
but that's when the second problem comes into play.
And that second problem is Wendy's brother, Ben,
who is bipolar and falls in love with Ruth
Of course, Ruth likes him back,
which causes even more problems
because Ben goes off his meds,
and doing so makes them a ticking time bomb.
You see the leader of the Casey mob, Frank,
has a son by the name of Frank Jr.
And Frank Jr. absolutely hates Ruth Langmore
so much so that he beats her up
and sends her to the hospital.
Marty tend to retaliate because ties with the Casey mob,
both Ruth and Ben don't think it's enough
because the Casey mob was not supposed to touch Ruth.
Ben niggles crazy revealing to Helen's daughter
that Helen is part of the Mexican drug cartel.
And since Hellen made it an absolute rule
to keep that secret away from her daughter,
that makes she has to get paid back by putting Ben
on a shirt that says Ben is Wendy's brother
when he tries to run away with Ben.
But Ben somehow just doesn't understand
that he's not supposed to call anybody,
and someway somehow keeps getting phones to call people.
- Think Mark.
- [Narrator] And that makes Wendy realize that
he's a liability, so she calls a hit on him.
Of course she's crushed afterwards, but so is Ruth,
and Ruth quits working for Marty because of it.
Darlene then sees this as an opportunity
to get Ruth to work for her
since she already has Wyatt as her new boy toy.
Yeah, it's disgusting.
Anyway, so the associate goes
and find finds Frank Jr. and shoots him in the dick.
She's absolutely crazy because she somehow gets Frank
to work with her, after Frank finds out
that he's not going to have any biological grandchildren.
Anyways, that brings us to the third problem, Helen Pierce.
And the thing is, after the buckle with Ben,
Helen goes to Navarro and tells him that she doesn't believe
that the Byrdes can be trusted, then goes to the FBI
and tries to make it look like Marty Byrde
was going to talk.
Marty and Wendy are then flown away to Mexico
thinking they're going to be executed.
When they get there,
Navarro actually executes Helen because he likes the Byrdes,
specifically, Wendy.
- I see this as an absolute win.
- [Narrator] And yeah, that's it.
