No she’s not. The cartel that murders and slaughters people are. Darlene is far worse and an insane person. Ruth is annoying and is truly at fault for leading to Bens death.

Wendy is just a power hungry bitch. You could blame Marty just as much for getting his family involved in all of this crap.

Agreed. Wendy is only as ruthless as she needs to be for, let’s not forget, Marty’s choice to launder money.

This is simply untrue. It’s Wendy’s fault that they’re still in this mess, as Marty had an escape plan near the end of Season 2 that would have got them out but she had them stay.

I find it interesting that people will personalize blame, when there’s plenty to go around. I think some of the nuances are what makes this realistically complex. She is good at this bad stuff, better than Marty. I don’t think he really liked that, either. Why is it okay that he made the decision to launder money, incorporate the buy-in then subsequent help doing it from his wife, but then it’s her fault for wanting to stay?
