Within this list, we'll take a look at 10 episodes from the third season of Ozark and rank them from worst to best based on their scores on IMDb.

Episode 1: "War Time" (8.3)

The weakest episode of the season according to IMDb was actually the opening episode. That's often the case with shows that jump back into the story, bringing the audience back into the story, which this episode certainly did, while ratcheting up the pressure.

It's made clear that there's a massive war on drugs going on, which puts Marty under pressure to move more money and faster than planned. Because of this, Wendy begins to come up with her own personal plan without talking to her husband. It's a solid episode, and if the weakest episode is 8.3, it shows the strength of the entire season.

Episode 5: "It Came From Michigan" (8.4)

In this episode, Wendy once again thrives and appears to be the stronger and more dominant member of the Byrde family doing work for Navarro. She and Helen continue to work as a team as they buy a horse farm, which results in one of the animals being killed.

However, Marty is still struggling with the decision to make as Maya keeps pushing him to turn around and help the FBI by making a deal. It provides an interesting situation halfway through the series that adds a nice potential twist.

Episode 7: "In Case of Emergency" (8.5)

By this point in the series, the tension is really at a boiling point, especially between Cosgrove and Marty. This only gets worse as the FBI nibbles on Ruth, who is forced to lie about a number of topics to Helen.

Additionally, problems begin to arise with family therapist Byrde as she makes her presence felt in front of Helen, who then visits her. The web of lies the Byrdes create for each other and others begins to unravel in this episode, as it becomes clear that they may not be as in control as they first thought.

Episode 3: "Kevin Cronin Was Here" (8.6)

This episode actually begins in a rather strange way as Wendy dreams of killing her husband, Marty. Although this is not shown to be a reality in this season, it could potentially be a foreshadowing of later stories that the show will embark on.

This episode is what really builds the tension between Wendy and Marty throughout the season as she looks to Helen for help instead of him, proving that she is starting to trust her more.

However, there is also a big surprise for Wendy as her brother ends up arriving as a mysterious new character in the show. Ben ends up playing a huge role in the season and so his introduction here is incredibly important.

Epizoda 4: "Boss Fight" (8.7)

This episode acts as a powerful reminder ofSpacefamily about who they are messing with. Despite Marty being seemingly untouchable, the Navarros kidnap him and imprison him, torturing him until he proves his worth to them.

This leaves Wendy and Helen working together to make any decisions that might save his life, while trying to keep the casino afloat while looking to buy another one to increase the assets.

Episode 6: "Your house is my house"(8,8)

This is a fantastic episode of the series with a lot going on with every character. Ruth and Wyatt finally face off and talk about their issues as Ben's dark history is finally revealed, which throws a spanner in the works for his relationship with Ruth.

Episode 8: "BFF" (9.0)

The first season three episode to crack a 9 was "BFF," and this is the episode where the cracks really start to form in the otherwise very confident and confident Byrdes. This is mainly because even their closest allies are starting to turn against them here.
