One tweet read: “Ozark always has surprises in store…seeing Robin Wright’s name as director of 2 episodes was a good one!”

“I’m still not over the fact that robin wright was the director for Ozark s4,” one tweet read.

“Just Robin Wright silently slipping into the last two episodes directing absolute masterpieces. Julia Gardner giving the performance of a lifetime. The women of #Ozark absolutely crushing the game,” another viewer tweeted.

Earlier in her career, Wright starred in high-profile films, including The Princess Bride.
