Alfonso Herrera Warns Fans for Ozark Season 4 Part 2! How Bureaucratic Ordeals Can Cause Change?
According to a cast member, Ozark acolytes don’t know what they’re in for. Alfonso Herrera, who plays Big Bad Javi in Season 4, Part 2, tells TVLine that the final seven episodes of the Netflix drama will stun, awe and disbelief.
The actor admits that “[Season 4] Part 1 was nothing, like, the places where Part 2 is going to take us is just unimaginable. I remember going through the scripts for Episode 7 [through 14], and it’s just mind-blowing. Fans are going to be happy and very excited.”
In the wake of Javi’s violent murder of Ruth’s cousin Wyatt, the midseason finale set the stage for an epic confrontation between Herrera’s merciless villain and Julia Garner’s Ruth. Javi doesn’t realize how dangerous Ruth is to him right now, says the Exorcist and Sense8 vet, before joking that “a bigger dog” may make matters worse.
Herrera is fully aware that if the impending clash goes badly for Ruth, the series’ most beloved character, he would become Ozarkians’ No. 1 Public Enemy. To which he replies with a laugh, “I’ll have to go to a remote island in the middle of the Pacific,” he says with a laugh. “I would have to look for another place [to live].”
How bureaucratic ordeals can cause change?
The fight is largely played out through, um, bureaucratic procedures, despite the fact that there are many heart-pounding episodes of violence. There are instances when a poor move by the characters might unleash a flood of catastrophic and brutal consequences, making it a nail-biting situation.
Is Marty going to get irritated with the traffic jam? Will Ruth be able to get her juvenile record expunged? Is there a chance that a crucial witness will show up for family court? Nothing about dealing with low-level authorities and neighborhood annoyances is a comedy; in fact, these scenes show just how rapidly and firmly the Byrdes are being surrounded.
However, in order for them to be as effective, viewers must have a clear understanding of the scheme that Byrdes, Ruth, Navarros, or any other player is trying to pull off. And this is where the hiatus may have done more harm than good to this last season. Real and phony transactions, sabotage, psych outs, and backtracks can both confuse and slow down the pace of the story.

Even worse, it may cause viewers to lose focus just when important information is being revealed. Even though you know you’ll be rewarded at the end, these episodes include stretches that feel like a grind.
They are back again!
The show has made a concerted effort to maintain a unified storyline, no matter how complex the details may be. The return of several characters from previous seasons is a perfect example of this.
Ozark avoids the illusions of nostalgia that these “blasts from the past” tend to deliver, even though it’s a TV final season cliché (and usually are the only thing they provide). As a result, they’re incorporated back into the Byrde jumble as either foils or answers to unanswered questions.
Some resolutions aren’t as serious or robust as others, but at least they’re acknowledged for what they are.
It’s the relationships amongst Ozark’s residents that keep things interesting, just as they were in the first half of the season. It’s clear from these episodes that the links that hold us together may also break us. In particular, it highlights Marty’s strange love for Wendy, who has shown to be a far more fearsome and nuanced monster than any drug boss in so many cases.
Once again, the season’s most memorable performances belong to Laura Linney‘s Wendy and Julia Garner‘s Ruth, who manages to inject a new dimension of sensitivity despite their character’s unshakable resilience. Aside from Wendy, the Mexican grandmother (Verónica Falcón) and Wendy’s father Richard Thomas (Richard Henry Thomas) are two of the film’s best supporting cast members.
In these final episodes, the Byrde family’s desire to stay together takes center stage. Marty and Wendy’s claim that they were merely trying to safeguard the family by laundering cartel money is no longer credible. To put it another way, the writing accomplishes a great deal to highlight the question: Do we want the Byrdes to survive?
While the show doesn’t have a clear vision regarding whether or not Marty, Wendy, and their children are bound together by toxic loyalty, this can detract from the other strong points of Ozark.
No one knows who will make it out of this deadly spiral alive, but what about the audience’s burning desire to see the Byrdes triumph over their captors? Not really.
