I just watched the 1st episode of Ozark, and am getting PTSD from Marty's wife Wendy, and Skylar from Breaking Bad.
Please, tell me Wendy doesn't ruin the show like Skylar did Breaking Bad. I was so hoping that Mexican guy would have thrown her off the balcony too. Then I started watching episode 2 and had to shut it off from listening to her in the car with Marty.
I just don't understand how these crime shows feel the need to throw in the most annoying nagging wife characters. That's why I think Narcos has done it best when it comes to crime shows. It's nearly 100% cartel business, and leaves the family drama out of it.
she’s a huge player in the show. if you hate her it’s going to be tough. ozark is the ultimate female strong and smart. male dumb and weak hollywood infomercial
just know that going in. i still enjoyed it.

Gotta shoehorn in a female to keep the boys from having too much fun.When a man lies he murders some part of the world. Repeal #19.
I beg to differ

Marty definitely has a Cuck side to him, but that’s just his nature, he’s like one of the likable Deuce guys. Can’t help but be controlled by a domineering woman, but he’s a smart guy waiting for his chance to break free
i binged the first 3 episodes and yes I hate her (and some other thoughts) sp

And i'm not a person that hates strong female characters. The blonde curly haired thief girl seems like a fun interesting character. She steals all her scenes with her accent and spunk.
But I don't know how else you could write a more disgusting wife character than Wendy in the first 3 episodes. She cheats on Marty, blames Marty for her cheating, and then they show her driving by a bunch of Conservative billboards, and listening to country music in the car and she says she's in hell. She's the ultimate ugly lib ungrateful wretch. Does the Hollywood Left actually think a female character like her is compelling? It’d be better if Marty’s wife was a faithful Christian sweetheart that didn’t know anything and gradually found out. Not an utter bitch that you want to see killed off in the first few episodes. I mean she cheats on Marty, then rationalizes it by saying everyone does it and it’s his fault bc she was unhappy, then he comes up with a plan to kill himself and leave his family the insurance money and she still doesn’t really try to stop him. I thought this was like a parody of the worst wife character in tv history.
And more hollywood garbage with the FBI agent being gay. I mean who cares? Like why even throw that in?
You have a very interesting concept (money laundering for a drug cartel), that does not need any SJW bullshit characters. Just stick to the drugs, money, killing.

Walter was fabulous in the season+ I watched, but I decided I didn't like the story and other characters and quit. For Ozark, there is really good work done by several people, and Wendy's character develops with a core theme that there is more thirst for power and money and bad behavior than she ever thought was possible. I don't consider her a SJW character because her mission is herself and her family, not women in general.

Take comfort in the fact that Wendy is eventually revealed to be a pretty awful person. I don't think the show really celebrates her character. She almost becomes a villain of sorts.
I liked Ruth at first but by the end of the third season, she was wearing on me. The accent and feistiness get old after a while.
