	Media	Author	Review
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"[4th Season, Part 2 Review]: Final ‘Ozark’ episodes have to be binged to be believed Brilliance continues right through the end of the Netflix instant classic (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"[4th Season, Part 2 Review]: A meandering, malevolent final chapter elevated by outstanding performances (...) When 'Ozark' is focused on its strengths, it is as good as it has ever been"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[4th Season, Part 2 Review]: The last 72-minute episode balances shock with inevitability, and it lands with the blunt force expected of a show that started with a voiceover about the true meaning of money."
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[4th Season, Part 2 Review]: More than anything, Ozark dies doing what it loved: taking itself way too seriously. The show’s many fans probably wouldn’t have it any other way."
		Valerie Ettenhofer The Playlist	"[4th Season, Part 2 Review]: The greatest strength of these last episodes lies, surprisingly, not in their twists and turns but in their emotional payoff"
		Stuart Jeffries The Guardian	"[4th Season, Part 2 Review]: The most thrilling, rewarding crime show around."
		Nandini Balial rogerebert.com	"[4th Season, Part 2 Review]: It’s a testament to the quality of the show’s main cast that they make room for character actors to lend a unique voice to 'Ozark'"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: Linney remains a mesmerizing force (...) Seeing Linney unleashed is reason enough to plow through Part 1"
		Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: 'Ozark' is the rare crime show that keeps getting better and better, tauter, and more furiously captivating. The cast plays their characters like first-chair musicians in a symphony"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: Season 4 is all incident, little drama (...) It’s struggling to be about much of anything."
		Shania Russell SlashFilm	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: Though it is neither uncomplicated nor unflawed, the fourth season returns just as clever and binge-able as always."
		Alex Flood NME	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: It’s all very tense and gripping – thanks, largely, to a set of the best performances you’ll find on TV (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: The Netflix crime drama’s rote, redundant new season hints at an interesting endgame, but mostly just exhausts us in the meantime"
		Ed Power Telegraph	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: Jason Bateman gives a gripping performance as the everyman criminal caught in a Faustian pact - but Laura Linney steals the show (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Saloni Gajjar AV Club	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: 'Ozark' returns to prove its worth in the genre by remaining a riveting and satisfying crime drama to its bitter (almost) end"
		Adam Miller Metro	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: There are already plenty of twists and major developments setting up a finale bound to be a fist-in-mouth ride right until the very end (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Stuart Jeffries The Guardian	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: Bateman and Linney could teach 'Lady Macbeth' a thing or two (...) If one of [its] great pleasures is that strong women motor the storyline, none of them is a role model (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Jade Budowski Decider	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: 'Ozark' remains one of the best dramas on TV in its fourth season, a showcase for career-best performances from Bateman, Linney, and Garner"
		Brian Lowry CNN	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: The second half of season four will determine whether the Byrdes can give the series a worthy sendoff. But in terms of a takeoff that sets up such a landing, so far, so good"
		Nandini Balial rogerebert.com	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: Season four is at its best when it deftly manages constantly shifting alliances and character developments within those emotional flares"
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: Twists and turns abound everywhere, and even when those twists and turns defy plausibility, it’s still entertaining as hell (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: 'Ozark' is en route to finishing an exemplary series excellently (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"[4th Season, Part 1 Review]: If the second half of this season can equal or exceed this first half, 'Ozark' will go out with one of the best final seasons in television history"
		Adam Chitwood Collider	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] manages to maintain the level of tension this show is known for while adding a layer of emotional stakes in the form of Marty and Wendy’s fractured relationship (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] raises the stakes like never before, with characters transforming to new heights and a time bomb lurking from underneath (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Andrew Husband Den of Geek	"[3rd Season Review]: A much better organized and, thankfully, more streamlined new season (...) There’s still plenty of bloat to go around, though thankfully nowhere near as much as in season 2 (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: [It's] a marked improvement over Season 2, dialing up the pressure and tossing in just enough surprises to keep the audience on their toes."
		Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"[3rd Season Review]: It’s still a gripping show, it just does a dumb thing (...) A frustrating new character causes trouble, but Laura Linney saves the day."
		Amanda Bell TV Guide	"[3rd Season Review]: It's still by far the most stressful and emotionally ravaging stretch of the show (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"[3rd Season Review]: A gripping season (...) 'Ozark' demonstrates a welcome willingness to mess with its own status quo"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[3rd Season Review]: Linney shines in a much-improved third season."
		Rachna Raj Kaur Now Toronto	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] mostly feels like more of the same, but a couple of characters create fresh tension (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Ozark' hums on, riding that wave of pure competence (...) [Marty and Wendy] have nowhere to go as characters (...) Characters who feel unrewardingly flat"
		David Griffin IGN	"[2nd Season Review]: A darker, stronger second season (...) [It] tells a completely captivating story from start to finish"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: A sturdy but bland follow-up (...) [It] can't keep the momentum that made Season 1 so thrilling."
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: Gloomy, monotonous and poorly focused (...) 10 dreary, bloated episodes."
		Adam Chitwood Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: The show’s second season not only settles into its own unique groove, it digs deeper into what makes a 'bad person' through exceptional character work (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Christopher Hooton The Independent	"[2nd Season Review]: On the whole, this is a very enjoyable season of television. A definite page-turner (...) and one that goes to some incredibly dark places"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"The series regularly finds a way to highlight the humanity in a story of inhuman acts, and knows when to turn away from an act too vile to witness."
		Sonia Saraiya Variety	"Ozark is smart, well-crafted, and says something."
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Enough is happening in 'Ozark' that it's never boring, which sets it apart from Netflix's recent misguided stab at prestige programming, 'Gypsy'. Instead of being predictable, though, 'Ozark' becomes monotonous."
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"In 'Ozark', a lot happens, but not much is going on (...) Your comfort level will be enhanced by the arty, muted cinematography."
		Brian Lowry CNN	"Jason Bateman shines (...) [It] starts with a familiar premise (...) but becomes increasingly engrossing"
		Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"A masterstroke for Jason Bateman (...) Bateman’s commanding performance powers a gripping, twisty, sometimes spotty yarn that plays like 'Breaking Bad' in reverse"
		Tim Dowling The Guardian	"'Ozark' repeatedly overturns dramatic cliches (...) but it’s always convincing. Linney is, as ever, magnificent. And the Lake of the Ozarks, where the deep water is never far from shore, is a gift."
		Ed Power Telegraph	"Clichés aside, this is a deeply gripping drama (...) The saving grace is the tightly sprung plot (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
