Tone

Ozark Season 3 Episode 9 Mystery Symbols
Clockwise from upper left, gas pump, cell phone, Man bun, Cadillac key fob.
I had a hard time deciphering the man bun on the big screen. If you need a clue, the image is a negative, the white area is hair, the face is black and facing to the left. All you can really see of the face is the eyebrow and the eye.
Season 3 of Ozark is basically about Ben, Wendy's bi-polar brother.

We watched the last 2 episodes of Season 3 this evening. At some point Wendy (the better half of our cartel abetting suburbanites) becomes convinced that Helen (the big shot Chicago lawyer) is making a play for power (in the drug cartel hierarchy) solely from (near as I can tell) the tone of Helen's voice. I couldn't hear it, but then maybe I don't know Helen well enough to be able to detect nuances in her tone. Funny how emotion can creep into our voices even when we try to conceal it. And of course, Helen is making a play. It backfires rather spectacularly.
