Ozark's Wendy Byrde - Beyond the Mob Wife

Ozark's Wendy Byrde, played by Laura Linney, is a “mob wife” for the post-#MeToo era. Her husband, Marty (Jason Bateman), may have been the one first hired to launder money for the Mexican Navarro drug cartel, but over time Wendy outshines him in her strategic cunning, drive, and lust for power. Crucially, her “thirst for more” feels symbolic of a deeper, universal female dissatisfaction. Here’s our Take on how Wendy reflects our present moment, and how we can learn from this antiheroine’s political brilliance to seize a bigger life for ourselves.
