Who is Wendy Byrde in Ozark?
The political operator unleashed · The Byrdes
Wendy Byrde (The political operator unleashed) is a character in Ozark, part of The Byrdes. Wendy Byrde ran campaigns in Chicago politics before motherhood and a stalled marriage shrank her world to fundraising emails and an affair Marty watched on a laptop. The move to the Ozarks is exile — and, it turns out, oxygen. Wendy discovers she is better at the family's new trade than anyone expected: smoother with politicians, quicker with narratives, hungrier than her husband. Marty launders money; Wendy launders the story.
