Ozark

 Should I really write this post? About a crime thriller? But I am really disturbed by this series "Ozark" in Netflix and still continue to watch it.

Does ends justify means? Does a person has the right the destroy the lives of so many people to save his own life and his family? 

Marty - a well established accountant some how gets entangled with a Mexican drug lord Sal. When things go wrong, to save his life, he tells Sal that he can launder the drug money - wash it in a remote town Ozark. As a trial run, Sal asks him to clean 8 mil in 3 months duration. 

Marty packs his family and runs away to Ozark with the money. He buys a cafe, a gentle man's club and then even a funeral. He gets caught more and more in this crime ring.

Marty tells Paul the preacher that he will build a church for the town. At present, the Sunday prayers are conducted in boats and all the devotees come in boats and are distributed the bible copies. Paul is very thankful for such a generous offer. But not everyone else. Snell family holding a very large farmland does not like the idea of new church and give Marty a visit. 

They tell Marty if he does not give up this construction of church, they will cut open Paul's pregnant wife Grace and remove the baby and then they will come after Marty. The problem was Snells are growing poppy and distributing drugs hidden inside the bibles. There are no suspicions as all this happens in water. 

Marty tries to put a stop to the construction. In spite of this, first a skeletal structure with a cross is built without his knowledge. Now Snells speak directly to the preacher and tell him in clear terms the type of their business and that of Marty. 

Disillusioned, Paul burns down the construction. When he reaches home, he finds his baby crying but no sign of his wife anywhere in the house. 

Such events - isn't Marty responsible for the death of Grace - Paul's wife? Is he not responsible for the death of Ruth's uncles who were electrocuted because Ruth was afraid they will kill Marty? Why can't he just run away some where? Can he?
