Bloodline on Netflix - the final season

Kyle Chandler is still cute even when he's sweaty with bags under his eyes. And dumbass Kevin!

God I hate Kevin.

He killed the hottie Marco. Anyone get distracted by Marco's ass when he was lying dead on the floor?

I'm 3 episodes in and the best part is no Danny

I really like noirish atmosphere of this show and will miss it when it's gone

I agree with you, OP! Kevin is his own worst enemy! I'm sad to see Bloodline end.

Hate Kevin. A loser who refuses to appreciate his lucky breaks, and lies as easily as he breathes.

Hate Meg: a sour-faced ditch rat who bitches and moans and takes no responsibility for her actions.

Thankfully Kyle Chandler is so hot.

I'm just starting the 5th episode. Beau Bridges is a good as the smooth baddie, glad to see him in a good role. Sounds like the parents were involved with some shady stuff in the past, the title of the series is fitting.

The actress who plays Meg is not aging well, her face is rough.

I am sorry to see the show go and I want to see how it ends, but I am having a hard time watching this much Kevin.

I want to ask more question but don't want to spoil it for people who haven't watched any yet.

[quote]I'm 3 episodes in and the best part is no Danny

The actor really played him well. You almost wanted to feel sorry for him but he was such a manipulative douchebag that I hate to admit I was glad John took him out.

What surprised me is that they have kept the suspense going through the whole series, I feel so tense watching this show waiting for something bad to happen. And even though he has done wrong I want John to get away with it.

Aguirre who is now Sheriff is pretty slick and is suspicious of them.

After I watch Bloodline I need to watch the new season of House of Cards, and then the new season of Orange Is The New Black will be out. I wish they would spread their shows out more, I am busy this time of year but I get sucked into binge watching. :)

I think that's one of the great things about the show - you really didn't blame john for killing Danny. Was Danny supposed to be a sociopath?

So Danny comes back to ruin the family and John kills him to save the family and the Inn. But Meg always wanted to leave, Kevin was always a fuck up who was going to jail for drugs. Chelsea was always going to crack under the stress, Eric was a criminal who was always going to end up in jail. And Sally was always going to lose the Inn.

The only life ruined by Danny returning was John's.

r9 I hope that wasn't a spoiler

r9 is MrsR at PTV, that was pretty shitty to spoil it.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER I am going to be pretty vague, but still..

I was +extremely+ disappointed in the final 4 episodes.

So curious to see what you guys think-

I will say that the budget issues on this show are clear by the final episodes...

And let me say that the 2nd to last episode was the MOST DISAPPOINTING HOUR OF TELEVISION in the history of good shows. Twin Peaks, Mad Men, or The Sopranos are the only 3 shows that could have pulled off what this show tried to pull off in the penultimate episode.

It made NO sense, was BORING as shit, and what an incredibly horrible waste of one of the final episodes.

However, I love Kyle and and want him deep inside of me, and Sissy was flat out outstanding this season.

I really missed Meg, and feel her limited appearances were budget related too.

Kevin is the BIGGEST fucking loser in the history of losers and sadly I was thrilled by his ending! I almost laughed.

Not a very good final season. Started off so strong and then went to shit.

SPOILER WARNING

That was rotten of the mother to blame everything on John. He had his faults but most of it was having to clean up after his fuck up siblings.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

They hinted that Roy Gilbert could have been Kevin's father. We never saw his body so he could still be out there...

MORE SPOILERS

Ugh Kevin he went from "I don't need you John, you would be surprised at what I can do" to seconds later whining "you told me you would take care of that for me John". Then his dumb ass wife becomes his accomplice? I didn't feel bad about his ending either. Looks like he was trying to be slick and fool John by going somewhere else too.

Because of the shortened seasons the whole Ozzy storyline didn't make sense either. Lequizamo has always annoyed me and he was the worst in this part.

The wig budget was low for Danny and Nolan.

Sissy's nose deserves it's own thread. The way it tilts straight up is so strange.

R18- She has the Van Ark Rhinoplasty; (and I amusing a scientific term) It was named by plastic surgeons after the illustrious Ms. Joan Van Ark

SPOILER WARNING

Not as good as the first 2 seasons. The second to last episode was something out of Twin Peaks but didn't quite pull it off even though it was nice to see Ben Mendelson again. It seemed like the show was pulling in several different directions towards the end but delivered a mostly satisfying conclusion. The scene at the end with Sally and her kids was devastatingly sad, but in the end, I was happy to see John get away with it. I thought that would happen, but I was so sure that John would have to willingly sacrifice the rest of his family in order to do it. In that way, the ending was still surprising.

The very last scene, I half expected Nolan, having already found out the truth, to take revenge for his father. Glad they left it ambiguous. All in all, a good series, but less of a nail biter than the previous ones. Having John and the family trying to wiggle out of the law was more fun to watch than John's crisis of conscience.

How did Kyle Chandler get into acting? He's a very unusual "type" as an everyman who is entirely believable as an actual everyman.

R20, You were very kind to that 2nd to last episode.

It was pure GARBAGE with not one redeeming bit of quality or sense.

I thought that this final season started off awesomely, and by the middle, went to complete and utter shit.

But Sissy really deserves and supporting actress win.

For all the suspension of disbelief this show asked of us, the greatest was trying to sell that Meg was turning THIRTY FIVE.

S1: Kevin is a fuck-up.

S2: Boy, that Kevin fucks up.

S3: Kevin will never stop being a fuck-up.

Actually I think she was maybe celebrating 35 again because John teased her about that. But her face is so deeply lined, I guess because she is so thin. I couldn't believe when I saw her on Mad Men how old she looked. I loved Freaks and Geeks back in the day and am about her age and she is not aging well.

I wanted John to get away with it but I bet Kevin will sing like a bird when he is caught and tell everything.

I wanted john to finally get sick of that loser Kevin and find a way to pin every last thing on him. I didn't necessarily want John to get away with it, but I really hated that moron Kevin so much that I would have been satisfied if they'd ended with Kevin going to jail for his and john's crimes, with Eric finally walking free.

But nope, they had to have that stupid time wasting penultimate episode, and introduce new characters for no reason a few episodes from the end. It was a hot mess final season.

R26, The first 2-3 episodes were so promising and then it just got worse and worse..

The show had massive budget issues at the end, which is ultimately why it got cancelled abruptly- something about Florida credits I think. Hence the Meg in California scenes, basically no Meg, etc...

Such a lousy, LOUSY ending to a great series.

And that penultimate was seriously one of the worst episodes of a series I have ever seen. A complete waste of what could have been an episode that might have led to a more satisfying ending.

I thoroughly enjoyed Sissy's and Chloe's performances though. And that handsome Kyle can do no wrong in my eyes.

And my god, Kevin- What an unsavory loser of a man. And his IDIOT, DOPE Of a wife.....

You're right r27 it did start off with potential. They said bloodline was meant to run for about 5-6 seasons, so I understand why cutting all their plans short was always going to affect the final product. But it didn't have to be as bad as it ended up. The introduction of new characters, John's partner, john's best friend, the woman hanging around Nolan who might be some Rayburn half sibling, made zero sense. Why waste time on characters we'll never know or care about and don't have time to crowbar into this already short season? Why waste an entire episode on john's breakdown and delusions? I agree, one of the worst episodes of a series I've ever seen.

I hope Kyle Chandler finds a successful series that lasts 5-6 seasons at least. He's great. I've been watching him since he was a young hottie on Homefront.

Lot of plot points that never went anywhere or got resolved as mentioned above. By the last two episodes I was glad it was going to end which sure not how I felt went it started. They sure screwed that up.

My question. Father Lopez??? What was that all about. Cissy saw and talked to him but suddenly he didn't exist for John Leguizamo, who appeared to have suddenly dropped acid. Weird and dumb.

I think that the john leguizamo character was meant to have experienced a brain injury which led him to believe the visions he was having were actually psychic insights into the Rayburn family. He thought that Sally was riddled with guilt and was confessing her sins to father Lopez. When he went to the church to talk to father Lopez, it turned there was no father Lopez and all these "psychic premonitions" he thought he was having was all just a figment of his imagination as a result of the brain injury. This realisation broke him and when he was put in the back of the car by those two guys, instead of shooting them he shot himself.

I think the point of the storyline was meant to be a red herring to get the viewer to believe that Sally was a mother overcome with guilt at her hand in her children's crimes and was risking having her sons exposed in their crimes by telling the priest. But it was just the visions of a madman. The whole thing was a pointless storyline that proved nothing, went nowhere and took up time for no reason.

Thanks R30. You got a lot more out of it than I did.

I look forward to whatever Kyle Chandler does next. More Saturday Night Lights, less Bloodline.

The John Leguizamo character was the worst, I was glad when he put us out of our misery.

could NOT even get into it so did not finish.....i don't care how many recaps they do, it's too fucking hard to remember and keep track of all this shit when you have to wait so long to start watching it again.....

SPOILER

1) I wish we could have found out how exactly the Inn was obtained. (I.e. A flashback of Robert and Roy importing drugs from Cuba) 2) The final season was good until the trial ended, then it went completely off the rails. 3) I wish there was more of Meg and Chelsea (and any of the women), and less of Kevin and John. 4) Why did Ozzie shoot himself suddenly? Didn't make sense. 5) who was the woman with long brown hair who made friends with Noah? She looked like the person who helped out Ozzie in Miami (he stayed with her one night) 6) was the actress who played Eve port received, and thus axed from Season 3? 7) it didn't make sense for Sally to blame John and Kevin for everything. 8) the dream sequence episode of John and the multiple doctors Quinlan made no sense and I almost stopped altogether suffering through it. 9) why did Meg get that big ugly tattoo? 10) was anyone else annoyed by the many times dead brother kept appearing in John's daily life? It made the story jumpy and confusing. 11) Lawyer Santos during the trial did a great acting job. 12) Why did the writers introduce a storyline where John sleeps with his new partner? Didn't make sense. 13) We never got to know John's son, but instead got subjected to a lot of confusing scenes where Noah wears a wig to look more like dead brother. 14) I felt sad for Chelsea when her mother died and then she was fired from her job. Wish we could have seen more of Chelsea instead of Diana. 15) Roy Gilbert was an interesting character and there should have been a flashback showing what happened in the past with Roy and Sally and her husband.

I am thinking R34 met with Father Lopez a few times himself. :)

Yes Yes Yes

The series should have wrapped with the conclusion of the trial. After this was just wasted time...why flesh out characters we don't care about (Nolan go away, bye Ozzy) and create filler story arcs with so few episodes left. End it already !

That being said, was great to see Sissy given the material to shine...hope she gets a nom during awards season, Kyle continues to be one of the best TV actors working, and great to see Chloe and Beau flesh out their characters. And I did enjoy Mario Van Peebles - the actor - not the director, although I could have done without the cowboy getup. All in all the performances were the best part of the final season.

I've just seen the fourth episode and have to take a break because I get so paranoid watching it. I swear no other show has such an oppressive atmosphere. And when you combine it with the Floridian heat, you get a perfect little summer show. I'll miss it so much, which is another reason why I'm not binging it.

Though I have to say, three seasons in and I still find myself marvelling at Sissy Spacek's overambitious nose job every single time she comes on screen. Bless those rhinoplasty pioneers; they suffered back then so we could benefit today.

I think it was the abrupt cancellation/budget issues that made the final season such a mess. There was obviously stuff that needed to be fleshed out that they rushed through, underdeveloped characters, completely missing characters, threads that went nowhere, etc. And that next-to-last mind-fuck episode was pointless. But all-in-all, a good series that should have had one more fully-budgeted season to wrap the story up properly without all the rush, and time jumps and stuff.

I agree R38- I do not think that the show runners expected the show to be cancelled-

And the budget issues are clear all over the final season. Meg in California for some random reason and for limited scenes?

I agree r37. Sissy's nose job is Michael Jackson-esque. It's very distracting.

I think the showrunners said in an interview that they had to quickly wrap up most of the storylines once they found out there'd be no S4. I still think it was a great show with some excellent performances all around (Sissy, Kyle,...)

Just finished this show. I thought s1 was good, s2 was fantastic and s3 was, mostly, an embarrassment. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Isn't this the same team behind Damages? Also, another show that started strong and got ridiculous in its latter seasons.

I will say, S3 was almost worth it for Sissy Spacek's fine scene. Damn, she chilled me to the bone in that scene when the mask finally dropped.

Anyone else assume John was Roy's son? They kept hinting that Roy might have been Kevin's father after Roy took an interest in him, invested in the boat yard and told him in the hospital that he was "like a son" to him... but maybe "like" was the keyword. Given Sissy's speech about John staining her with his blood at his birth, it does seem like she was saying that John cursed the family because his bloodline was that of Roy's.

I realize this show is several years old, but I just watched it. I agree with the many mixed reviews above, but I have two questions? Whatever happened to the campaign for sheriff? It just sort of petered out. Also, how was Kevin arrested in Cuba if it is a no extradition country? Oh well, that’s not all that didn’t make sense, but a lot of the others have already been mentioned.

The actor who played Danny Skyped one of my female friends and jerked off in front of her. She told me he chain smoked the whole time. Sexy.
