Little slow starting out, but the story will suck you in. Kyle Chandler (coach in Fr night lights) is a good actor. Kind of a low-key show with only short bits of action, but a good storyline. I'd put in in my top10 of the series on Netflix.

Cool. I'll check it out this weekend.

Mrs Duffy says thumbs down ("it was cheezy").

I like it. Cinematography was awesome, and the tension.

The tension.

What really hooked me is that YOU KNOW what's going to happen from the get go...

Season 2 released. So you'll be able to binge two whole seasons.

There are some lulls so be aware of that.

I enjoyed Season 1 and will be watching Season 2 starting tonight. I've been looking forward to it for a while so I hope it doesn't suck.

When you're done with bloodline check out Peaky blinders if you haven't already. Amazing series.

I really enjoyed bloodline 1 and PB's

I've just finished happy valley 2 and the night manager

Both are excellent

Just starting line of duty. A great cop show

Liked PB and can't wait for more, but just watched first episode of Bloodline and have no desire to watch another.

I watched the first bloodline season. I got a little sick of it, but I wanted to like it.

The acting is really good and a solid cast. Cinematography pretty good too. However...

First, it was really predictable. I kept thinking there was going to be a major unsuspected plot line develop or something really effed up....however it unfolded just like I thought.

I could forgive the first point, but what really really irked me was the self importance that whole family seemed to put themselves in with respect to the community and vice versa..the importance the whole island seemed to hold that whole family. Maybe just a peeve of mine. Related to this, I do not like shows where the entire "drama" revolves around different family characters trying to protect each other from anything and everything. This series has a lot of that.

As an example, the mom (sissy spacek) getting bent out of shape because someone not high enough standing in the family can't sit at the main table. And all the uncles and cousins are happy as clams as they sit at the card tables and cheap seats.



.

I only watched the first episode and it was well done and well acted -- but I just didn't find anyone in that family that I could care about. Also agree with the importance thing. They own a hotel/resort in the Keys, so what.

You may have to check in your man card but give Grace and Frankie a try. The estrogen runs deep but it is a well acted and fun series. Great cast. Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen and Sam Waterson.

Love this series. Grew up in the keys. First time that I know of a show being filmed there that actually portrays the area exactly the way it is in reality . And damn I sware Danny, Kevin, O'bannon and his sister where all modeled after people I new down there.

I watched the first two episodes of S1, but didn't enjoy it. Cheesy acting, forced tension, and it just failed to grab me. Wifie said the same thing.

I expected more considering the cast.

Hmmmm. I'm liking it so far. But, then again, I'm easily entertained.

I liked Bloodline. I stumbled upon it months ago and watched the entire season. Found it entertaining and engaging. Solid (not outstanding) all around.

It does start a little slow but it gets better I admit Im a little bias though . I got through the first few shows just trying to figure out which location they used for the resort. I also think Ben Mendelsohn is an awsome actor. IMO he knocks it out of the park playing Danny.

Have been waiting for season 2...will start binging this one shortly. Loved season 1.

I really enjoyed season 1, I'm doing my best to wait for the wife to watch S1 before I start S2, but I'm getting impatient.

Season 2 is better than season 1...more drama and surprises. This is one messed up family.

Two episodes in...and I'm hooked again.

Though I will say I wish I had watched the season 1 finale again, just to get some of the details back in my head. Gradually, over the course of the first episode of this season it all started to click.

Very good show.

The tension was almost too much for me sometimes. Unfortunately I've had temporary brushes with people like Danny. I had to quit watching season 1 for a while because of it - too many bad memories - but I still had to find out how the inevitable was going to happen. The cinematography was amazing as you said, and the actors are pretty realistic - almost too realistic for me in some cases.

So in other words, it's a great fucking show.

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

On number four of season two. Strongly considering looking into blood pressure meds before I continue. Ok not really but damn...

Episode 1 of season two was great. I was prepared to be disappointed, but no. I can see how this series isn't for everyone, it can be kind of slow, but I love the tension and the little twists. Reminds me of "in the Bedroom" movie from 10-15 years ago.

I just looked up in the bedroom and Sissy Spacek placed the mother of a murdered son in that one also. Interesting.

Not one character in this show is "good". Well, Eric's sister seems to be the only truly decent person - same on the outside as the inside. The rest are in reaction mode (the Rayburns, Marco, Sherrif, Dany's GF and son) - all self righteous, and yet they simple cannot help themselves at every turn. And yet, all of them are also fighters. I don't know whether to admire them or hate them. Without spoiling it, the last episode of season 10 opens up a lot of new doors. Season 3 will be epic.

Did I miss something? When did you get a TV? And I guess you're also using soap, now?

Netflix.

I don't have cable. I watch a couple shows on Netflix.

I've neve said anything different.

Funny ! I just told my wife last night during episode 10 that obannons sis is the only one in the show with a clean nose . Who would have thought?

You assholes got me hooked! I'm on Season 1, Episode 10. What a dysfunctional family. Meg is smoking hot! Pretty sure I love her.

well we agree on this show - right now Southern WI has got the best climate in the galaxy but I still find time to watch me some Bloodline.

In marathon for a few days. Always laughed at weekend warriors when I lived here as a kid. I couldnt believe how long they would sit in traffic while driving down here. Low and behold yesterday on my way down, I was one of those. So were barely moving as we pass Holiday isle and decide to jump off and take old US-1 through islamorada to sneek past the traffic jam. As were driving, my dog gives my the old "Ive gotta take a piss a-hole!" look. So I pull off onto a side road. Beach road to be exact. Im looking around as Im driving and Im like man this looks familier. We get to the end and my wife sees a sign that says Moorings village and spa. She says she wants to go check it out while I walk the dog. Two minutes later she comes back all excited ."I found it ! The fucking Rayburn house!" I went and checked it out, so sureal! The whole place! We've been trying to guess were this place was ever since the series aired. We both grew up down here but just couldnt figure out were it was. We were close though , we both new it was definatly Islamorada ocean side. Were gonna go back on our way out and spend more time there. Take some picks by the curved palm tree! Sorry for the story book version post :)Boared tonight...

The younger brother is the guy everyone has in their family. The guy who would give you his shirt but just keeps fucking up because he is naive or stupid.

This wasn't the first time him "doing the right thing caused problems".

Possible spoiler alert...

















The final scene with Arthur and Alfie in Tommy's office (S3E6) was brilliant. Tom Hardy just kills it in every scene.

Emery's Third Coast Triathlon | Tri Wisconsin Triathlon Team | Push Endurance | GLWR

off to a slow start, I was a little disappointed in the first episode!

I actually thought the episode was full of tension (season 3, E1)...I couldn't pick up with the mom and younger John lied about years ago? Someone clue me in.

did you miss season one, that's the whole reason the family is so messed up?

I agree. I thought it was great and I felt tense just watching it.

Did you forget season 1? Here:

We never see the whole scene play out in full, but this how it happens if we piece together the flashbacks from all 13 episodes. It actually all starts with Mama Ray, and her decision to run away from home (but, we don't really know why. I'm assuming that it was a fight between her and Dad Rayburn). While she's packing her bags, there's a knock at her bedroom door, and Sarah's standing there. Mama Ray shoos her away. That's when oldest child Danny decides to take her out on the boat.
At the time this happened, Sarah was 10 years old, John was 14, and since Danny was the oldest brother, we can put him right around the 15-16 age range. He's not a kid anymore, but he's not an adult yet, either. This is what John points out to him as he and Sarah load onto the boat. John tells him that he can't take her out without an adult (and Sarah asks him to go, too — thinking back to that, it breaks my heart). However, John stays behind on land and the two disappear out onto the ocean.
Then, Sarah's seahorse necklace falls off her neck out on the ocean. We don't know how. Did Danny pull it off? Did it get caught on something? Did she jump into the water and it somehow came over her head? (just some Season 2 questions we need answered, Bloodline.) Regardless, it comes off her neck and Sarah goes after it. The necklace falls between two pieces of coral or rock, and Sarah sticks her hand into a crevice to pull it out. Her hand gets stuck. She can't dislodge it.
Danny tries to help free her, but he's no use. Sarah's completely stuck underwater, and there's nothing either one of them can do. They're kids, after all. We see Danny swim back to the surface, as Sarah's now lifeless body bobs underwater.

When Dad Rayburn finds out, he beats the ever living shit out of Danny. The police investigate and Momma Ray tell them they need to help the family. So, John lies to the cops and goes with the fabricated story that Danny was hit by a car. That lie haunts John until adulthood and is what Danny holds over John.

Thanks for the recap, I remembered all of that, for some reason, I thought there was something else that I missed...I watched episodes 2&3 yesterday...the family is fracturing everywhere.

Do you ever find yourself feeling a high level of anxiety and stress just watching this show? For me, these guys are SO messed up, you almost ... ALMOST ... feel uncomfortable watching them!

Another observation - Meg is crazy hot, especially in the flashbacks. But, holy hell, when she is all mopey, she gets ugly fast! I cannot believe how unappealing she instantly becomes when she starts pouting. Also, where the fuck did she go? How does she have the money to just disappear?

Yes!!^^^^^
I felt I coulda used a xanax by episode 3.
I think about that amazing feeling of relief when you wake up from a bad dream.
I keep finding myself thinking about the rush of overwhelming relief it would be for Kevin if he just woke up and found out it was all just a bad dream lol. That dude stresses the shit out of me to the point of uncomfortable. His pile just gets deeper by the minute.

Don't forget the family is wealthy, Meg is single, no responsibilities, she will appear soon. Just watched 4&5 - I think I will have to binge on the rest...if it were not for the damn hockey game tonight. The end of episode 5 is very open ended.

I wonder really how wealthy the family is. John needs a full time job and Kevin was always desperate for money, before joining with Roy. I think the family has a lot of equity (the hotel and land) but little cash. Also, that money is not filtering down to the kids. Meg seems to be the only one who can work if/when she wants, which does not really make any sense.

Just finished S3 and won't spoil it. Post back when you are finished. Shit got weird.

ETA: had no idea this was the final season which actually makes a few things make sense. Just weird though.

I watched the first season, but then stopped.

My main beef with the series is a common one that many have. It relies way too heavily on artificial drama created from "family" keeping secrets from one another and doing crazy shit to protect the "family". Way too little of actual creative and engaging story lines and plots.

This show suffered heavily from that. Very similar to Sons of Anarchy, which I also quit watching because of this.

Do Season 2 and 3 of Bloodline change this, or is it similar to what Season 1 relied on? I'm not sure I'm interested in watching another two seasons of an overly self-important family lying, keeping secrets, and protecting each other.


.

Finished it and all I could see was Tony Soprano grinning and nodding yes

I'm watching the season/series finale tonight. I did not like the last episode (Season 3, Episode 9) where John is having Groundhog Day. It was a wasted episode.

Yup, that was garbage and felt necessary.

Go ahead and skip s2 and 3. More of the same.

You gotta be fucking kidding me. That was terrible. It was a great series. They were able to keep the anxiety riding high for 3 seasons! Season 3 was insanely intense. The final two episode were pathetic! This is easily in the top 3 pathetic series finales for me. Terrible! No closure. No gotcha. No satisfaction.

Btw, I meant ep9 was garbage and felt "unnecessary" in my last post. I felt much of S3 was rushed and story lines went big and didn't deliver. Shit, we didn't even see Meg for the 2nd half of what was to be the final season. Wtf? After I read the show was scripted for 5-6 seasons so when the creators were told this was the last season they scrambled to tell 3-4 seasons of story arcs in just one. That's exactly how I felt watching it. Scrambled and rushed.

Agree on the the last episode as well. I was trying to figure out where they were going to go with S4 after it ended. Googled it and that's when I found out that s3 was it. Over. So stupid.

Yep, I knew you meant Episode 9.

I think I found out this was the last season after I was in about 3 episodes. At that point, it made sense. There was only so much that could be done. But then I got to episode 6 and started questioning where they were going.

So for Season 3 we got 7 great episodes, one ok, then two total garbage episodes with a shitty finale!

I just finished watching it last night and completely agree...what a disappointment those last 2 episodes were! I have one question...I thought Danny went to Cuba to avoid being arrested/no extradition? I'm not sure what the law is about Americans being arrested down there for committing crimes in the US (I'm Canadian).

I remember Danny telling his wife it was about x number of hours to Bimini while they were on the boat. They went to the Bahamas, which again, makes zero sense other than to hurriedly close that loop.

Ahhhh! I didn't catch that-my husband and I were probably chatting...thank you! I did notice they flag when they arrested Danny and assumed it was the Cuban flag...I just googled and indeed it was the Bimini flag.

I had to look that up as well. I had the same question at first, then replayed what Kevin said to John.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one a bit confused. Watching those two episodes was sure a waste of a Friday night--sigh.
