Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.
**Hello friends, good vibes to all.
Finally the day came, the day the first part of the finale of one of the best series I've had the opportunity to watch in a long time. And look, I've seen a few series in my life but honestly there have been few like this one, Breaking Bad can suddenly look a little like it, but otherwise it has been quite unique and above all catching, stay with this last word because I think it is the most important feature of this season finale.
As I guess many of you know this fourth season will be the last of this story since Netflix, as a rare thing, decided not to renew it for a fifth part. So in view of that it was decided to split this finale into two parts, this first one that we just saw and obviously the final part that will be released throughout this year 2022. There were seven chapters full of adrenaline and waiting for the last seven that I infer will be twice as exciting. So let's not give more laps and talk a little of one of the best plots there is today.
For those who do not know this series, it is basically about a family that for various circumstances end up laundering money for a powerful Mexican drug cartel. I say by different circumstances because throughout the series a number of events have happened that have led the Byrde family to be where they are, that is, it was not something fortuitous or overnight, it was all thanks to bad, very bad decisions.
One of the great successes of these first seven episodes is that the strength and intensity, with respect to the third season were not lost, on the contrary we see how chapter after chapter the tension of which I speak in the title of the publication is increasing to a point that as a viewer the truth is that we feel it and that feeling of sinking into our chairs or sofas by the expectation is something very real and that is very present.

There is a new face in town and that is Javier (Alfonso Herrera), a namesake, who will be a character of utmost importance to the whole plot. An impulsive, cold, volatile and very calculating character who comes to Ozark to put a little more danger and suffering, than there is usually already, to the whole story. I liked the addition because it is always good that despite being the last season they have decided to put a new face and that personality fits perfectly with the whole context of the plot. Good character, very realistic.
Jonah Byrde, the youngest son, takes on another dimension in this fourth installment. Much more mature and more aware of the things that happen around his family, he decides to go his own way. It's amazing to see how a fourteen year old boy can come along and do the things you will see throughout the chapters, personally another good role reversal because it provides much more depth to the story as many of the things are triggered by him so yes, you have to be prepared to love him but also to hate him a little. At the end of it all it is understood that many of those attitudes have a reason to be, you be the judge.
Wendy continues to be the head of the family, the one who makes decisions on many occasions from an irrational point of view, but that's just her personality. Here we see her doing what she has always done, pulling the strings through money and above all manipulation. Marty is the calm and cool-headed one, the meticulous one who tries not to let anything slip through his fingers, something like the conciliator in the face of his wife's outbursts. Undoubtedly a couple that complements each other very well, no matter what they say.
But the one who undoubtedly takes all the spotlight again is Ruth Langmore, what an impressive and well acted character by Julia Garner. Explosive but deep down I'm sure she has a heart that doesn't fit in her chest. The issue with her is simple and that is that everything she has been through has caused her to create in her a shell that doesn't allow her to trust everyone. In this first part of this series finale she continues to be one of the main characters as ALL the stories revolve around her because in one way or another she is part of every plot.
And with the plot I want to close. In my opinion, these first seven episodes do not disappoint in the least because the power of the story continues to be maintained. It's amazing how thanks to a problem out of nowhere another one comes out and so it goes, like a snowball growing and the problems become bigger and more important which makes the series never has a break. And this happens because something is ALWAYS happening, because there are 3 or 4 stories in parallel, each one with its setbacks that make the attention one hundred percent.
That's what I appreciate, that this story has a lot to offer and that it doesn't just focus on one side of the plot. Lots of action, tension, nerves, intrigue and expectation are some of the things you will experience with this finale. One of the best series I've seen in my life and I can't tell you how impatient I am to finish watching the remaining seven chapters. I give this first part a 9.5/10 because it has it all, it is truly a jewel among the content that exists today. I leave you with the trailer so that just by watching it you can see what it has to offer.
