Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticThis article contains spoilers for the final episode of “Ozark.”Say this much for the final moments of “Ozark”: They speak to the show’s sense of its own importance.After four seasons, the Byrde family’s saga came to its conclusion with the launch of the drama’s final set of episodes on Netflix — or, at least, the part of the story we as viewers see concluded. The implication of those last seconds is that Marty and Wendy, the amoral husband and wife played by Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, will indeed accomplish everything they want, and will do so with the buy-in of their son Jonah (Skylar Gaertner).In the finale, the Byrdes throw a charity gala that represents their emergence from the depths they’ve occupied to become, once more, legitimate citizens.
After the event, their last real threat emerges: A private investigator (Adam Rothenberg) who reappears to confront the couple. But Jonah manages to get the drop on him, with a shot ringing out and the family’s triumph sealed as the camera cuts to black.
From a filmmaking perspective, this seems like a spin on “The Sopranos” finale, but on a show that lacks the courage of its convictions. (The “Ozark” finale was directed by Bateman, who has won an Emmy for his work behind the camera.) Not literally showing the final act in the Byrdes’ rise suggests ambiguity, but Bateman makes sure to leave in audio of the gunshot — just in case viewers were confused.And narratively, this final killing completes the show’s rather schematic understanding of who the Byrdes are and what they want.

Catherine Springer “Ozark” cinematographer Shawn Kim came aboard the show at the start of Season 4 with a good idea of what creators Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams wanted for the look of the dark thriller about a mob accountant and his family who relocate from Chicago to the Missouri Ozarks: A “sense of danger in the shadows,” Kim says.“Ozark” fans have been waiting three months for the second half of the season to find out what happens to the Byrdes — Jason Bateman’s Marty, wife Wendy (Laura Linney) and their two children — as they try to wriggle free from the clutches of the drug cartel that employs him and the FBI that wants to imprison him.
