re: Are we watching "Bloodline" (Netflix Original Series)? ***NO SPOILERS***

Yep, the lady friend and I agreed we're making pulled pork sliders, cocktails and marathon watching Bloodline to the finish today. I don't hate today at all.

Just finished. Loved this season. Is there a spoilers thread? I wanna talk about it dammit.

Please start one. I have been wanting to talk about it

Okay. I'm pretty skeptical now. I'm three episodes in, and it's been the same thing every episode. Drags along like a damn soap opera. And then there is a cliffhanger at the end to keep me interested. Then I spend the next 40 minutes feeling tricked.

And I don't mind dialogue. In fact, I prefer it. I don't loathe every minute of it, and I actually think the story is interesting, but I don't really like any of the characters, and I feel like it tries to keep big points vague for mystery and suspense, but at the same time it drags over small details. Maybe that's for character growth, but frick all of these characters.

I don't blame anyone for liking this show. I think it's decently done. I just don't think it's for me.

someone else in here said the same thing, which I think is a little disingenuous. You can boil down any show ever to a broad generalization. Take Seinfeld for instance, which is tGOAT. Kramer does something slapstick and really hair-brained (sp? idk), george does something petty or cheap, jerry tries to act sensible and has a dry one liner, elaine has issues with men. Basically every single episode, but it's still an all time great.


I'm not saying anything about your opinion SC, just kind of rambling here. Anyways...I can see how someone would think it's just the same episode over and over again. But as others have said many times, you still get a new piece to the puzzle pretty much every episode. You start to see the bigger picture as the season moves on, and the last few episodes move at a MUCH faster pace than the earlier ones.

If the show isn't for you, no worries. You gave it a shot. But if you do stick with it til the end I don't think you'd be disappointed in yourself for doing so.

Yeah it's great. Last several episodes are masterpieces of suspense. But that ending...

Sissy Spacek?

How about Linda Cardellini?

I probably would have quit after the first episode if it didnt come so highly recommended. It starts off really slow the first 3 eps but you start to see a twinkle in ep 3. It takes until ep 4 before you can properly evaluate the show, so at least give it that far. After that it begins to really take off and then somewhere around 7 or 8 it just ignites. Im on 12 now and love it.
