One Way Out

I don't know what's wrong with people rating this episode so low (1s &.2s??!?!?). Really? A friggin' 1?? Come on! Everyone saying nothing happens in this episode. Lots of stuff happens, I can't go into what but trust me, a lot of character development plus the story really arcs amidst this episode. Okay so it's not bullet and drug fueled. My only beef is the heavy handed religious mumbo jumbo coming out of several characters mouths. I gave it an 8......1! Sheesh!!

I consider this the first bad episode of the series although I did think the last two episodes of season one you had to somewhat suspend your disbelief. The major transition is that season one was packed with suspense and you felt like scenarios kept escalating and the characters were well written. At this point it just seems like they are trying to tie up loose ends or wrote themselves into a corner. The storyline woth Mason was hard to believe and very boring. Ruth's transition into helping her father again after what happened to her is pretty weak as well. Usually I watch a full episode completely through but this episode I watched over a 5 day period because I was so disinterested. I can only hope this was a fluke and the show continues on as good as it could be from what made it good at the beginning. Otherwise overall the series has great acting character development and cinematography but this episode was pretty garbage.

Many more episodes like this and we will revert to something more interesting. Like watching paint drying. Absolutely dreadful, drawn-out episode with two major figures acting out of character and the story slowing down to a snail's pace for the sake of what we presume was meant to be suspense - starting playing games on my iPad at one point while we waited for something to happen. Have enjoyed this series so far and do hope that the script writers aren't starting to run out of ideas, but we'll see......

Excelente episodio y una gran tensión generada, no entiendo el porque tanto odio a este episodio, sin dudas el mejor.

Absolute emotional sledgehammer of an episode. Normally the plotting, development and dark humour of Ozark keep me coming back Sometimes it's slow burn. Sometimes there's big payoffs. But this Ep is something else. Not something I could take regularly. But Marty's broken by the end of it and bloody hell so was I.
