It is time we appreciate the sheer brilliance of Marty Byrde of Ozark

Appreciating the Ice-Cold Brilliance and Calm of Ozark’s Marty Byrde

The thing about brilliant shows is that they give you these larger-than-life
characters that you can only dream of being like. We had the character of Walter
White from Breaking Bad, someone who was probably the definition of a complex
reality hero. Then we have characters like Jon Snow from Game of Thrones,
Professor from Money Heist, and the list goes on and on. One such character that
deserves our attention is Ozark’s modern hero Marty Byrde.

The character of Marty is something that needs quite an effort to understand. On
the surface, he sure is the calm and composed hero, but things get pretty real
serious real soon. Throughout the course of four seasons, we have seen Marty go
through a lot. Money laundering, Mexican drug cartels, the US government, you
just name it, and Marty Byrde has probably dealt with it. However, he has always
remained to be a calm and composed presence, even though things are going south
faster than a ball under freefall.


THE ICE-COLD CALM OF MARTY BYRDE IS SOMETHING TO BE JEALOUS ABOUT

Netflix’s Ozark [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ozark] is a show that is filled
with smart and emotional characters, people who always have a purpose for every
single deed they do. Even then, we have moments of pure emotions, instances
where characters lose their senses and do something considerably reckless. The
show literally has the living embodiment of recklessness as fierce Ruth Langmore
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-ozark-finally-finds-its-hero-in-ruth-here-is-why-it-is-for-the-best/].
Amidst all of this, we have a character who is never moved by emotions, never
loses his calm, and probably has the nerves of ice. Yes, we are indeed talking
about the father Byrde, Marty.

The family has gone through a lot, and by a lot, we mean actually a lot. They
have been at the brink of death and even then Marty has stayed calm and
composed? How can one do that? Some of us lose our calm, at the slightest of
inconvenience, but Marty Byrde
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-original-ozark-season-4-part-2/] is just
built different.

By the time we reach the end of Ozark season 3, Marty is laundering drug money
for the Navarro cartel, negotiating with the Kansas City mob to deal heroin, and
persuading the US army to raid a rival cartel. Even then, the man never flickers
even for a second.

While we certainly don’t wish to be in a car crash
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-ozark-car-crash/] or strike a deal
with the FBI
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-ozark-season-4-part-1-ending-explained-and-what-lies-ahead/]
for freedom, we would certainly like to be more calm like Marty. What about you?
