It is possible to Jason Bateman It is, Ozark It was a positive ending.
All four of the Byrde family members—Marty (Bateman), Wendy (Laura Linney), Charlotte (Sofia HublitzJonah (Skylar Gaertner)—made it out alive in Ozark‘s season four finale, an ending that truly nobody saw coming. The Byrdes were involved in drug dealings gone wrong, cartel fighting, and undercover operations.
However, in an interview Variety, Bateman described it as a “happy ending,” albeit one with a “smudge on it.”
He explained that there was something stuck about the idea. We see them getting away with it once we are in black. But at what price?”
By the end, Jonah and Charlotte have become accomplices to their parents’ crimes, a fate that no one would wish on their kids. Although there is hope that their killing will give them the opportunity to lead a more generous lifestyle, it’s unlikely that that will happen. Bateman stated that they have left viewers with the Byrdes because “trusting in the ends will justify what the means” but are moving on to the next stage.
