The breakout star of the Ozark -2017- web series is unquestionably Julia Garner as Ruth Langmore. With her snarling accent ("I don't know shit about fuck"), dirty baseball cap, and desperate intelligence, Ruth is the tragic heart of the show. A dirt-poor local criminal trying to escape her family’s curse of theft and violence, Ruth forms an unlikely alliance with Marty. Garner captures the duality of Ruth: a hardened thief who desperately wants to be good but only knows how to survive. Her final arc remains one of the most heartbreaking moments in streaming history.
