Ozark: Laura Linney Isn't Sure If Wendy Byrde Is A Villain
Laura Linney says she isn't sure if she views her Ozark character, Wendy Byrde, as a villain. The hit crime drama series premiered on Netflix in 2017 and tells the story of a married couple who relocate their family to the Lake of the Ozarks in order to launder money, getting involved with local criminals and the Kansas City Mafia along the way. Linney portrays Wendy, the wife of self-employed financial advisor Marty Byrde, who, as the show progresses, becomes more of a role player in the cartel system, making decisions without her husband and conversing with Omar Navarro on occasion, despite the danger it puts her family in. Throughout Ozark’s duration, the series received praise from critics, with Linney’s performance drawing admiration and earning the actress Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.
