So ultimately, I’m glad that Amanda Marsalis recognized enough humanity in Darlene and Wyatt’s relationship to treat their sex scene seriously, and produce what we saw.Julia Garner (born February 1, 1994) is an American actress. Stranger things have happened, I suppose… even on Ozark. As these two wounded souls sought solace, they found it in each other. Also, Darlene had experienced tremendous loss once she’d murdered her own husband, Jacob (Peter Mullen). Sure, you can argue that Ruth (Julia Garner) pushed Wyatt away from the Langmores and into the arms of Darlene when she confessed to murdering Wyatt’s father and uncle. I’m not sure I ever fully understood the romance between Wyatt and Darlene that began in Season 3. These two odd ducks are going find whatever (works), and there you go. Because you read it on the page, and everyone wanted to be like, ‘This is a joke.’ And I had to be like, ‘This isn't a joke. I was like, these two people… we are going to treat this with respect. Thanks to the episodes that Marsalis directed in Season 2, 3 and 4, she got to film a number of memorable and tragic death scenes.and also that memorable sex scene. Ozark director Amanda Marsalis labeled Wyatt and Darlene “odd ducks” during a recent conversation with CinemaBlend following the show’s finale, which she claims is the definitive end and is not meant to leave the door open for more Ozark. Because yes, a lot of people lost their lives over the course of the program’s four seasons, and the way the show ended promised more loss (though, for who was up to your interpretation).Yet there were moments of beauty and longing, of love and passion on Ozark that can go overlooked… even when they are between two “odd ducks” like the twenty-something Wyatt Langmore (Charlie Tahan) and his senior citizen wife, Darlene Snell (Lisa Emery). ![]() Stepping back and looking at the totality of Ozark, one of the best Netflix shows the streaming service has offered, it’s easy to focus on the murder and betrayal that swam in the wake of the Byrde family as they fought to attain their goals. ![]()
