Taking place six months after the conclusion to Season 2, Marty (Jason Bateman) and Wendy’s (Laura Linney) casino is up and running, but the couple is at odds when Wendy decides to plot for expansion. Aided by the cartel’s attorney Helen (Janet McTeer) and cartel leader Omar Navarro (Felix Solis), she works behind Marty’s back to secure the family’s destiny, as Marty bribes Ruth (Julia Garner) to keep her mouth shut about what’s really happening behind their new enterprise.
“So you’re moving money in the new casino, and you’re asking me not to tell your wife?” Ruth says to Marty in the trailer. “I’m not your fucking marriage counselor.”
Further complications arise when Wendy’s brother Ben (Tom Pelphrey) comes into town, throwing the entire operation off-balance and putting the lives of the Brydes and their associates in jeopardy.
This season of Ozark also stars returning cast members Sofia Hublitz, Skylar Gaertner, Charlie Tahan and Lisa Emery, as well as newcomer Jessica Francis Dukes. Additionally, Season 3 will include episodes written by X-Files writer John Shiban and playwright Martin Zimmerman.

Agree, thought season 2 was just OK. Got better at the end.
The characters just don't do a ton for me. One of the great themes of Breaking Bad or say a classic like the Godfather is it captured the motivation of why the characters were doing what they were doing. Why they were committing to a life of crime.
Ozark really misses the mark with that, bland financial advisor with a bit of lip just decides he is gonna work for the cartel and the rest is history. And throughout the show, you never really get an idea for his motivations for doing so.
But it is watchable. Decent for what it is.
24 was GOAT
