First off, Wendy is one of the most detestable characters I've ever seen in my life. And Marty, with his passivity and submissiveness of his (but with such kind eyes...) is also quite detestable.

For me it is impossible not to associate Marty Byrde with Adolf Eichmann: of course there is a difference in the magnitude of the actions of one and the other and even in "intelligence", but both were similar at the core: ordinary men, even "orderly", but able to perpetrate barbarities under a justification that, for them, was plausible and acceptable.

Ozark is the show of great hypocrisies, and that's why it's so good. It is the series that exposes how most people and even institutions with a social purpose (such as the FBI and Congress) can give up their values and their missions to reap immediate yields and benefit themselves and their leaders. It is the story of the prevalence of pragmatism (the end justifies the means) rather than utilitarianism (the happiness of the majority over my own).

And that's why I liked Ruth Langmore: 'cause of hers authenticity and bond to her roots and her "ethics", even if it's kinda warped moral code.
