I just take it for it what it is for the most part. I 100% agree with you on Darlene not having any security. It's almost insane levels that she has no security to protect her. She has dead bodies of very important people buried on her land and to just go around like that won't come back on you is ridiculous. Maybe the writers are telling us that Darlene is so careless and sloppy that she thinks she is invincible and can't be touched.😅 Spoiler The KC mob boss going up there without no protection was just as dumb. the woman is known for her short temper and just shot your son, so lets go up there by yourself to cuss her out lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyPhil1781 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 This show is so, so, so good. Just finished up this half and this girl deserves award after award. There's a lot of other accolades that need to be given but she's phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Ozark is better than Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad got too obsessed with one upping itself and got a little bit crazy. Ozark is more grounded and with better characters. Just finished season 3, so that opinion might change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbuff Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Yeah. I love Ozark, but it’s not BB level for me. Wendy is so annoying, but Laura Linney plays her perfectly. Ruth is amazing. She’s far and away my favorite character. I think she’s easily had the best arc throughout the show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy is annoying, but Ozark gave her actual agency. Breaking Bad didn’t do the same with the lead actress, and made her suit the show rather than the show suiting her. Wendy’s character strengthens Ozark. Skyler’s character suited Breaking Bad’s needs. Ozark thrives because of the character it created in Wendy, while Breaking Bad was able to do what it wanted because Skyler was never given any real agency, and she changed as the show needed her to change. She wasn’t a well-written character, and they used her as a foil for the sake of having a foil rather than her character having been written well enough to be that foil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Breaking Bad was a crowd pleaser that put storytelling and strong characters behind the crowd pleasing moments. Ozark is not more enjoyable than Breaking Bad, but it is better. I won’t fight it much, but I think it’s true. I just hate I probably have to wait until May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This compilation of Ruths best lines is just too good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdYDaWesCNE 2 hours ago, Outpost31 said: Breaking Bad was a crowd pleaser that put storytelling and strong characters behind the crowd pleasing moments.

I agree, I like Ozark more but I absolutely understand that most are going to prefer Breaking Bad. No one should use one to bash the other though, they are both great shows in their own right. The ending could change my opinion on Ozark though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensfanRD Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I thought Season 4 part 1 was kind of a slow burn till the end. Definitely excited for part 2 and climax with that said. Ruth is definitely the best character and for some reason Marty is second for me. He's just so level-headed cold and calculated if that makes sense. I just get humor out of his mannerisms. Spoiler Darlene deserved all that smoke. Shame what happened to Wyatt, but he had it coming for not listening. The one theme for this show is a lot of stuff could've been avoided if they just... listened. Ya b--- wolf! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say if this is better than BB until it's all over though. I will say it's not far behind right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both shows are excellent and it'll be tough to rank once Ozarks is done for sure. Neither shows make me sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a given Not really a fair comparison. Wendy was already established as a seasoned political operative who knew how to work people and the system. Skylar was just an everyday accountant taking care of a disabled son and a newborn. Wendy knew her husband was laundering money and things could go bad at any moment, while Skylar got her life flipped on end and dragged into her situation unwillingly by Walt. Wendy was just far more equipped to handle the turmoil. Skylar made a ton of mistakes but who wouldn't in a situation like that? And really if Walt just takes the money from Elliot for his treatments the entire show doesn't happen (sorry but the hate for Skylar still baffles me a decade later). I thoroughly enjoy both shows but Breaking Bad has the edge for me. Ruth and Mike would be my picks for the best characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
