Apparently been lots of complaints about the ending. I will say I wasn't a fan of the whole fade to black gunshot thing, think that's such a cheap final shot thats overused these days.

Lots more people annoyed about Ruths ending which I find is a contradiction from what happened in the first part of this final season. Everyone was pretty much in agreement that Wyatt and Darlene were on borrowed time as they kept on crossing the cartel, they were always going to end up being taken out. So why is that any different to Ruth, She takes out Javi and fucks with the casino for no reason, she was asking for trouble that whole second half.

Overall I liked the twisted moral of the story, the rich and powerful can pretty much do whatever they like without consequences, the more money and more power the more you can get away with, even against other rich people.

Always had a feeling the Byrdes would get away with it all too, they are probably the big bad at the end of it, but I pretty much like that they just played the system that was already in place, also most of their "Victims" were indirect consequences of their actions but mostly because the victims themselves accepted and got involved with the dangers that were apparent or made absolutely stupid decisions.

I completely understood the ending but I do think certain parts could have been done better.

...I'm just watching the final few episodes so will look back soon!

Haven't watched a lot of TV over the years but here are some shows I've enjoyed starting with my favourites
Fargo
Still game
Breaking bad
Ozark (Still watching this on catch up but loving it so far)
Better call Saul
Mindhunter

These are some shows I've enjoyed but for some reason haven't quite reached the same level as the shows above (except for the wire and law and order both look a bit dated now)

life - only watch season 1 (Everything was covered and concluded in season 1 so just watch that. Unfortunately they decided to make a second season which was unnecessary and totally f***ed the views of people about it. shame)
The Wire (like law and order a solid show that might be showing it's age now but still worth a watch if you haven't seen it)
law and order
Black mirror
Love death robots
Godless (let down by ending imo)
Sopranos (was a huge fan of the first couple of seasons but then just became too samey and a poor ending)
Boardwalk empire (loved season 1 but then just became like the Sopranos very samey around about season 3 stopped watching after that)

Law and Order is so addictive
Love Still Game and Mindhunter. It's a shame they cancelled Mindhunter as I thought it was really good, the second season was a bit of a swing and a miss for me though, but nothing to deserve being cancelled.

[bodacious benny]

Yeah I enjoyed Mindhunter.

Anyone who liked that should enjoy Manhunt Unabomber which is/was on Netflix.

Good summary and agree about Ruth, she put herself in the firing line. I did think for a second that Navarro’s sister might let her live as a) she’d be laundering money through the casino but more-so b) if she asked Ruth if Marty and Wendy knew that she’d killer her son.

The whole fade to black gunshot was a bit Eastenders like…overall a really enjoyable TV series.

Yeah, I had the same thought that she might let her live, but fully understand why she got done in, it wouldn't be very Ozark if she didn't, there was never going to be any real happy endings. Also I think the Byrdes seemed upset about Ruth, but in the end it was either her or their kids. To Marty especially, Ruth was pretty much a third kid, so would have liked to have seen more of their reaction to her death.

I think the ending would have been better if the cookie jar just had cookies in them rather than Ben's ashes, kinda a last FU from Ruth to Wendy that inadvertently got them off the hook for his death. Humiliates Mel, and has Ruths death hit a little harder for the Byrdes. I dunno, anything is better than a fade to black gunshot lol

Not that anyone reads this thread, but season 2 of Ted Lasso is actually brilliant.

Forgot to post this as i saw it awhile ago but Everything Everywhere All at Once is a great movie, if you liked Kung Fu Hustle you'll like this

[bodacious benny]

Watched this last night, it’s very good (in Russian, subtitled): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6673840/

Watched Dune Part II yesterday - I don't think I remember enjoying a film that much... ever. The first film was mega but this one was even better. 2h 47mins felt like half an hour and I didn't want it to end!

Interesting! I thought the first one was awful!

I mean it might not be for you if you didn't enjoy the first - I loved both but Part II was just epic. It's made me want to read the books!
