Great show Banshee - Anthony Starr was great, but Hoon Lee and Odette Annable turned Banshee into something special. Great show - hope they do a follow-up as the ending gave them scope to do just that. The best of Job (Hoon Lee) from Season 1 of Banshee NSFW!! Banshee is up there as one of my favourite TV shows ever, it pulled no punches and was just gripping from start to finish. I hated Anthony Starr in The Boys and loved him in Banshee, just shows what a great actor he is. But yeah Hoon Lee stole Banshee, absolutely first class.

piper Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I've watched the first three episodes of Season 4 Part 2 so far. I'll try to stay out of this thread for the next couple of days, as to not risk spoilers. William-James88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But pretty much everything else was incredible. Just finished the last episode. The ending was…not terribly satisfying but I’m fine with it. The body of work on this show was tremendous from start to (almost) finish. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beige Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Gotta say, if I looked up "meh" in the dictionary, it would probably direct me to the last episode of Ozark. Underwhelmed to say the least. A shame, as the show was once great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodey Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) I enjoyed the final season. Even the ending worked for me. When you analyze that final "shot" and look at how it all lead to moment, it makes sense. But that final moment represents is very depressing and disheartening: family before EVERYTHING.

Will stream last half of Ozark season 4 after I get back from another out of town convention. Boozad and Beige 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentbryan Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Netflix needs to ditch releasing these seasons all at once. Yes it is nice to binge it but there’s something to be said for a drip-feed where you get to look forward to an episode each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I binged Daredevil when I first got Netflix but by then either all 3 seasons were out or 2 of them were so I had a lot to go thru. But nowadays I like spreading them out among all the shows I watch. Gives me time to absorb them, listen to podcasts on the episode etc before moving on to the next one Plus some shows I watch with the Mrs who's def not into binging. bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 20 min of the show killed the last season for me. Beige 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexinnih Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Just finished and let's be honest, initial reaction to most final episodes is less than full satisfaction. Just nature of spending years watching something and then it's over. Thought this was good, tied up things and did leave a little for interpretation but overall a good series.

I like pie Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Finished watching it this morning. It's an amazing show with a decent ending. Sure, it could have been better but it was satisfying and we got closure. William-James88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think a lot of people misinterpreted the ending of Lost. They stuck the landing for me. I've watched the series about 4 times through now.

Most of the negative feedback I've seen, was that some thought that the whole series was supposed to be their "afterlife" or purgatory. That they died on the plane and never survived the crash. Granted, we didn't get closure on some things but I think that was the point of the title of the series. Lost.(Sorry! I didn't want to get off topic too much).

Buzzetta Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 I still think that LOST was possibly one of the best serialized television program in the last twenty five years if not more. I like pie, William-James88, Bosco685 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 I liked the ending of Ozark. There are several things to consider about the characters of Ozark and you pick this up with some of the dialogue and what some may consider throwaway lines throughout the final season. Background Let's remember that these are TERRIBLE people. Marty and Wendy are terrible people. I have Marty may be likable but only because Wendy might be worse. They leave a path of destruction in their wake. They ruin people's lives. Anyone who has watched this series knows of all the examples I can offer. I am trying to keep this spoiler free. Ask yourself if the path of destruction they leave is out of necessity or virtue of trying to rectify their wrongdoings to 'get out'. In many instances you will find that other options were available. This is made VERY clear to both Marty and Wendy throughout Season 4. Ending itself When Marty and Wendy are taken by surprise at the end and see that their children are holding the gun at Mel Sattem, Marty and Wendy express delight and admiration on their faces. There is a sense that their delight is both because the family is about to be saved and because Marty and Wendy see their children follow in their footsteps. Remember that it is mentioned that Charlotte and Jonah may one day grow up to be a mini Wendy and Marty Byrde. Sattem says that, "The world don't end like that." in that the bad guys don't get to win. Wendy questions it and says, "Since when?" as we hear the of the firearm. Marty and Wendy see Jonah holding the shotgun, Sattem raises his hands in a surrender motion, Marty SLOOOOOWLY nods his head down and looks back at Sattem and the screen goes black to the sound of the firearm's discharge. What I got out of it Bad people win. The Byrdes are bad people. No matter what is thrown at them from the car accident, to being threatened by the Cartel in the first place they leave a path of destruction in their wake. Think of all the death and destruction in the final episode. They have caused a coup in a cartel. They have directly or indirectly annihilated all preexisting crime that existed in the area. The Byrde family were the real criminals and the big danger all around and now, their children represent the future. In the end, people don't always get what is coming to them. In the end sometimes the bad guy wins. onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Quote What rapper appears in Ozark season 4? Rapper Killer Mike is the one who makes the cameo in the final season of Ozark. He comes across Julia Garner’s Ruth Langmore while dining in a Chicago restaurant. The character’s love of rap has been prominent throughout the series, and she connects with Killer Mike over the works of Nas and his reference to growing up in Queensbridge, New York. What is Killer Mike’s link to Ozark? Ozark showrunner Chris Mundy—who also wrote the episode Killer Mike appeared in—is a big fan of the rapper’s work. Though this is the first time he’s shown his face, his voice has been heard in a number of songs that play over the end credits of Ozark episodes, perhaps most prominently via a Run the Jewels song in season 3.
