A dramatic thriller that explores the demons lurking beneath the surface of a contemporary American family. The Rayburns are hard-working pillars of their Florida Keys community. But when the black sheep son comes home for the 45th anniversary of his parents' hotel, he threatens to expose the Rayburns' dark secrets and shameful past, pushing his siblings to the limits of family loyalty.

The acting and production are solid. The location and sets are superb.
However the storytelling and pace are maddeningly slow. In all honesty,
I am probably not the "TV Series" type. I just don't have the patience
for long drawn out dramas. In this case, the character developments
could have been fully accomplished in 'half the time', leaving the
other half for something interesting to actually happen. I get it:
"black sheep addict/dysfunctional family/dark secret". Do we really
need 50 minutes of tedium to compose this hackneyed image??? The
production is actually quite skillful at building suspense. And again
the piece is 'professional and polished'. However in each case of
heightened suspense the piece falls flat. It just doesn't deliver
'grist for the mill'. I will concede there is an audience for this one
given the many positive reviews. C++

This could have been a perfect show without the constant, offensive
language. We're supposed to believe this family loves each other? The
way each of them speaks to their 'loved ones', without any respect or
dignity, makes me think they don't love each other at all and that they
aren't interested in decent viewers either. That Kyle Chandler would
take this role and accept the language, I have to say is shocking. I'm
certain he does not speak to his own family this way, nor would he
speak this way in my presence. This is a completely unnecessary
addition to this show and, in my opinion, an extremely offensive one. I
find I'm gritting my teeth, a terrible thing to demand of your
customers.
Banal, incredibly banal

Sometimes, most of the time perhaps, the ratings here at IMDb
agree...when a film or series is given a high score/rating it means it
is good. This one is rated very high. I found it literally unwatchable.
It brings me to imagine why this banal thing is rated so highly. I will
never find out. I was excited, for one thing, that Sissy Spacek was
present. She is so good at what she does, I figured I could trust her
choice of scripts. No. The dialogue, in particular, of these characters
in this series is so incredibly uninteresting. In the first episode
there is an argument by a group of bad actors, about a chair, that made
me want to put my TV in the trash, and all the dialogue leading up to
it was not much better. And then there are the "men". The male actors
in this series are dull, dull, one-dimensional and stiff with not a
single quality, not one of them, that engaged me in caring two cents
about any of them. In the first episode there are no sympathetic
characters. If there is a story here, they have taken far to long to
give me a hint of it. Given the hype and positive reviews this series
has received; to say it was disappointing is about right. I find it
unwatchable, poorly acted, badly directed. The writing in particular is
bad. There is nothing in the entire first episode that brings me to
understand who these people are, why I should like any of them, or what
the point/plot/adventure we might share with them actually is. In my
mind the writing is just terrible. Nothing to bring you into the story.
I figure I am a reasonable viewer. I like shows like this. But I strong
disagree with anyone who rates this turkey above a 3.
Seriously?

A masterpiece? Great acting? What series was I watching? My wife and I
are big fans of Sam Shepard and Cissy Spacek, and we love the
mini-series concept as exemplified by House of Cards. However, this
series is more than slow; it is unwatchable. We hated every member of
the Rayburn family, found the plot to be that of a childish potboiler,
and thought the actors made soap opera performers look gifted. Maybe
we're spoiled by great British mini-series like Broadchurch, Downton
Abbey, the original House of Cards, Life on Mars, and Ashes to Ashes.
Too many American series seem glacially slow and horribly simplistic.
We can only hope Netflix returns to the quality displayed in seasons
one and two of the Beau Willimon House of Cards.

This is the slowest, most depressing series I've seen in a while. I
love the Keys, and Kyle Chandler is always great, but watching this was
like pulling teeth. Very slow pace. Everyone smoking and drinking beer
from the bottle(even at a funeral) the characters are boring and not
likable at all. We know Danny's got a bug up his ass but we don't know
why...there are also very long takes for no reason, as if the director
is trying to stretch a boring story to even longer lengths. The writers
could have also included a sense of humor once in a while but that
never happened. In general, there wasn't enough of a story here to
support this many episodes. sorry but i got off at episode 5.....If you
want to see this subject matter treated with some talent, try The
Captive, by Atom Egoyan.

The series started very well with great acting and an interesting if
classic situation with dark family secret.As episodes go by the series becomes increasingly illogical and
unbelievable.Danny, The fragile defrauded in his youth brother, a drunk cocaine user
that must rely on his family's charity as well as dirty business with a
childhoods friend, which BTW pays way too much, suddenly becomes an
entrepreneur, a drug dealer, a killer of professional killer and what
not.He doesn't give back the kilos of drugs, probably worth dozen and dozen
of millions. His cop brother John puts him again on the bus as if it
would make him magically disappear, whereas the first time he tried his
brother stayed on the island.Of course Danny does it again and stays on the island where he has zero
problem going wherever he wants and meeting whomever while the drug
team is supposedly looking for him and the missing drugs. Please. How
realistic can that be?

Bloodline is a dark, chilling, blood boiling drama about a family
having to deal with their brother, Danny, coming home. I can't go into
any more detail than that when it comes to summary, because there's
some things that are better to just find out by watching. I'm not sure
where some of these negative reviews are coming from, but I can say
that this show is a real work of art. The acting is amazing, the
scenery is beautiful, the dialogue is seamless. The chemistry between
the actors portraying the family works so well together you could
almost believe they've known each other for years. The description of
this show does not do it justice, but please for the love of god give
it a chance. Netflix is cleaning out network television shows with
masterpiece shows like this and many others. This is my favourite show
of all time, even beating out Breaking Bad. There's nothing to hate
about this show, but don't go watching it if you're looking for heart
pumping action, because it isn't that, it's a dark drama that is worth
every minute to watch. It's relatable in ways, and touches on things
almost all families have problems with (maybe to more extreme
measures). I can not praise this show enough, and that's why this is my
first review on IMDb, because this show NEEDS more praise. Tell your
friends, tell your family, cause Bloodline deserves to be the next big
thing.

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet.. After binge watching House of
Cards - I was searching the streets... literally billboards and MTA Bus
Stop Posters.. for my next Binge IV Drip "fix" and I saw Bloodline..
the tag line intrigued me because in real life, Good People sometimes
do Bad Things.. so I tapped a vein and went for it... and this is where
I stop to say.. Trust me!!! Bloodline is extremely top of the line true
Blue.. 99.999% pure; you know.. like the stuff Walter White used to
make before his season was over.. I couldn't stop watching.. I did all
13 in 24. I highly recommend it and I am looking forward to Season Two
because the Cliff Hanger almost sent me to the ER... but my insurance
is for poo and my co-pay is too high.. so I'm currently going cold
turkey off the 13's. Gonna take up hiking and juicing for a spell. xo
Netflix does it AGAIN!

A wonderful tale and a spellbinding story. Great slow pace that was
perfect for the setting of the Keys. I loved every episode. Masterful
writing and top notch acting. Very good cast with several new actors
that did a phenomenal job. Cant wait for season 2! I loved the movie with Tommy Lee Jones "In the Electric Mist" and this
series seemed to have a similar pace but spread out over 13 episodes. I
was something to look forward to watching each night when the kids went
to bed. If the wife was out of town It would have been a non-stop
marathon for me!Go Netflix! Your series with House of Cards and Bloodline are wonderful
and are better than any other series going at this point in time.
Please keep up the good work!Thank you for the great entertainment!

Wow. I love love the show… by the second episode it really sucks you
in. Ben Mendelsohn is a genus. I don't want to give anything away, but
if you a fan of the True Detective, the first two seasons of House of
Cards, you will not be disappointed. And for all the fans of Empire,
it's time to upgrade to a different family drama! I also love the title
song, I usually hate them and fast forward through them, True detective
and The Bridge songs being an exception. And this song, by Book of
Fears, it took a little digging to find out a little more about the
song, is up there for me with Ryan Bingham and Handsome creations. The
Water Let's you In is hunting, soft and oh so right for the show. It
sinks in and stays with you. It's lovely. I can listen to it over and
over.
Wow! Two day marathon for me!

I can't get enough of this show! Just as good as The Killing of Rosie
Larson! Never heard of Ben Mendelsohn, but WOW, he is killing it in
this series! Started off a little slow, but then it pulls you in and
you are going up and down with the cast, not knowing what is coming
next. Everyone in the cast is incredibly good and I am riveted in my
seat waiting for the next ball to drop! Can't wait to see what happens
at the end,but this is the kind of show you don't want to end! I could
have done without all the bad language. I wanted to recommend it to my
daughter (who loves a good drama) but she won't watch if it has this
kind of language in it, just saying....

Watched all episodes in 4 days, found it to be compelling and interest
escalated with each episode. Which is what I believe a series should
do. After each episode we had questions which spawned much
conversation, then on to the next episode. Questions answered , more
questions created. It became fun and compelling at the same time.
Characters developed and relationships became important. Typical family
hierarchy and troubles . Flash forwards were awkward at first but then
it all started to fall in place. Last episode provided a lot of answers
but also created more questions and tantalizing interest for more. Some
critics panned it as being slow, some as being cliché or predictable,
maybe so, but it was excellent and left most with wanting more. Looking
forward to a possible season 2. All in All worth watching completely
and form your own opinion! Also Love opening theme song.
~~~~~LOVE this series~~~~~~~~~~~~

Welcome to Rayburn House - a quaint family inn situated in an idyllic
part of the Florida Keys. It is the perfect place to forget troubles if
you're there on vacation. But it is a near constant reminder of
tragedies that have plagued the family who own and operate the resort.The place in the sun the Rayburns enjoy is one they have carved out
through hard work and determination guided by the vision of their
folksy yet menacing ex-sailor/ex-ranch-hand patriarch Robert Rayburn
(Sam Shephard) and his adoring yet industrious wife Sally (Sissy
Spacek).Though seemingly every tropical acre evokes painful memories they have
put far too much in to consider leaving. Life there is just that much
more sweet than bitter. The very thought of losing it makes them so
defensive it scares them.Their dutiful children - John the cop (Kyle Chandler), Megan the lawyer
(Linda Cardellini), and Kevin the boat captain (Norbert Leo Butz) each
maintain their own strong presences in the community whilst helping run
the inn in various capacities as needed. John and his own wife (Jacinda
Barrett) and children live in one of the bungalows the inn used to rent
out.The periodic return of the troubled eldest son Danny (Ben Mendelsohn)
elicits feelings of anger and guilt for all of them. Often an
embarrassment, hard-living low-level criminal Danny is their chief
tormentor yet also the victim of past family excesses. His
cringe-inducing antics are continuously forgiven because they know they
own the biggest stake in why he is the way he is.All the men in this family, as it turns out, have criminally violent
tempers. All, including the women, tend to like their alcohol a little
too much and do illegal drugs and have sex in inappropriate places.
Danny will pretty much take a leak anywhere. If anything this is a soap
opera family people might look down on. Their tendencies are THAT
redneck.This is a more realistic take on the genre of night-time soap opera.
Unlike the super wealthy families of other night-time soap operas of
the past the Rayburns don't seem that different than the average
viewer. Innkeepers who live where they work are obviously more down to
earth than oil tycoons or corporate raiders.Megan is a lawyer who attended Florida State instead of an Ivy League
school. Kevin has a boat and a business which repairs boats but he is
no yachtsman. Failed restaurateur Danny went to cooking school and is a
decent enough cook but he's no world class gourmet even though he acts
like one. Their parents aren't educated people and the most romantic
night of their marriage was spent in the back of a pick-up truck.The Rayburn family fortune is presumably substantial but it isn't so
much to be beyond comprehension. The less they mention amounts of money
the more identifiable they seem. They have been successful because they
picked the right location (even if it is in the way of hurricanes) and
somehow stayed there long enough to learn the business, establish a
reputation and manage their expectations. They live well mostly by
living at their own inn.There is a precariousness to it. These people are also highly sensitive
and suspicious. Danny gets the worst of it. They cloak their treatment
of him in family but to them he is more like the jittery member of
their criminal gang that they are afraid will talk. They watch
everything he says and does looking for signs of betrayal of their
secrets.The rivalries within families about the direction of their legacy play
out in a more compelling way in a more believable setting on this show.
But where the narrative really takes it a step further is in capturing
those private moments we all have with family making it seem that much
more common to the experiences of audiences. That recognition elicits
real emotional attachment.Danny bonds with each of his siblings, his mom and his young niece in
ways that suggest this family has hope. But the tension beneath the
surface bubbles up every once in a while particularly when something
happens that reminds them of past friction. The normalcy of it has a
disquieting effect when juxtaposed with ruthless criminality.This is a story that with universal themes and timeless appeal. It
could be set in Australia. It could be set in South America or the
Mediterranean etc. It could even be set in a different age up to a
hundred years in the past if not more. That is how good the writers
were in finding that commonality.The opening montage with its time-lapsed view of the beach during a
thunder storm is coupled with suitably haunting theme music beginning
each episode with dark mysticism. It is perfect for the intricate
rhythm of each teleplay.Bloodline is nothing less than exceptional viewing worthy of multiple
Emmys particularly for writing and for the acting portrayals delivered
by the entire brilliant cast. A show this subtle, nuanced and
thoroughly appealing could only be on cable or Netflix.

Bloodline is a quality Netflix series, that totally validates their
strategy of delivering a season in complete, binge-worthy form, rather
than an episode at a time. I watched it over two days. It's hard to
imagine a movie with a better cast; the performances from top to bottom
were sensational. I also appreciated the salty, adult, realistic
language of the characters. One of the earlier reviewers spoke of all
the characters as being "terrible people." Couldn't disagree more;
virtually all the the characters from Kyle Chandler to Sissy Spacek to
Cloe Sevigny are likable, compelling individuals who find themselves in
a difficult situations. It's about good people making fateful
decisions. Bloodline is a beautifully produced, deeply human drama,
that, once it gathers speed, will grab ahold of you. Kudos, Netflix.

Having now watched the complete series in an utterly unstoppable binge
I can say without a shadow of a doubt that, for me, this is up there
with the greats like True Detective, Breaking Bad and Rectify (to name
but a few). Never so much has a show swayed my feelings towards the
characters; I had several about faces with regards to my sympathies but
it left me feeling that nothing is ever black or white. This is not for
those who want a fast pace and constant excitement. The characters are
developed slowly and cleverly as is the storyline which keeps you
guessing. The cinematography is phenomenal and I bet you will all be
wanting to move to The Keys after watching this I do hope they make a
follow up series, however if they want to leave us wanting more but
very satisfied at the same time stopping here would do just that. The
cast, without exception were stellar in their performances.
