While the last season of Ozark may not be remembered fondly, Julia Garner’s third Emmy win was completely deserving.
After the very first season concluded, it was very clear that Julia Garner’s Ruth Langmore was the standout character on Ozark. Given the dark, relentless nature of the show, it required a character who could call attention to the twisted nature of the story. While the Byrdes slowly begin to lose their humanity as they continue in their dark venture, Ruth begins to open up and notice the consequences of her actions.
It’s Ruth who is actually heartbroken. A slow moment in the episode “The Beginning of the End,” where she recovers Ben’s ashes, is the perfect change of pace from the show’s nonstop momentum. Alliances on Ozark are often forged out of pettiness, but Ruth decides to team up with Darlene Snell to achieve justice. By undermining the Byrdes, Ruth is allowing the community to get vengeance on the family that has subjected them to countless tragedies.
Although the first half of the season characterizes Ruth as a powder keg ready to explode, she gets some time to simply reflect on her loneliness in the second half. Ruth is truly left without any allies; she’s divorced herself from caring about people because it seems like everyone she loves is taken away from her.
