Bloodline Part 23 Season 2 Episode 10 Editor’s Rating 3 stars * * * Previous Next » Owen Teague as Nolan, Ben Mendelsohn as Danny. Photo: Saeed Adyani/Netflix Well, that’s that. The second season of Bloodline is officially a disappointment. Despite strong performances throughout, this year’s story never felt as confident as the first — and it ended not far off from where it began. After ten-plus hours, the season ends at its starting point. The only essential change? It’s juggling four cliffhangers now. The season’s action could have been distilled to an hour. Imagine, if you will, the second year of Bloodline opening with a guilty John (Kyle Chandler) leaving his family behind, a panicked Kevin (Norbert Leo Butz) attacking Marco (Enrique Murciano), and Meg (Linda Cardellini) confessing her family’s sins to her mother (Sissy Spacek). A lot has happened in every episode, but it doesn’t really take us anywhere. These characters and their world weren’t developed enough to justify the time commitment. Perhaps the inevitable third season will correct that problem, moving the Rayburns forward instead of just watching them tread water in the Florida Keys. As “Part 23” opens, John and his wife, Diana (Jacinda Barrett), are on the beach. Realizing that Eric O’Bannon (Jamie McShane) was there the day John killed his brother Danny (Ben Mendelsohn), John knows the proverbial waters are rising against him. He implies as much to Diana, saying in his all-too-cryptic way, “Things are not good.” She tells him not to come home tonight. After a quick trip to the beach and a conversation with Eric, Marco stops by the citrus farm with the cameras. He’ll get a warrant soon. Cut to John and Meg looking at a still of Eric from those cameras. They don’t know what Eric knows. Did he see the crime? The cover-up? They know that the Internal Affairs investigation will keep Marco and Aguirre (David Zayas) tied up, but for how long? Meg … [Read more...] about Season Finale Recap: Now Leaving the Keys

Season-Premiere Recap: The Road to Nowhere
Bloodline Part 24 Season 3 Episode 1 Editor’s Rating 3 stars * * * « Previous Next » Photo: Netflix The Rayburns are back for a final season of murder, betrayal, and the family ties that bind and kill. Season two of Bloodline felt somewhat transitional, like its creators were uncertain where to take the show after its hit debut year, but this last ten-episode arc is a promising opportunity. Perhaps it will give Bloodline the focus it lacked last year, and we can send out the Rayburns in style. Most interesting, this show has some seriously murky moral water to tread. At the end of last season , Kevin Rayburn (Norbert Leo Butz) killed Marco Diaz (Enrique Murciano). Should we now root for him to get away with it? It will be interesting to see how the show navigates the truth that Kevin is a murderer and shouldn’t be a free man. The writers of Bloodline are smart to not get into that gray morality right away, sticking with a tight time frame and taut pacing for the season’s first hour, which picks up immediately after the finale of season two. Kevin has murdered Marco; John Rayburn (Kyle Chandler) is leaving town; Meg (Linda Cardellini) has unveiled the family secrets to her mother Sally (Sissy Spacek). Danny (Emmy winner Ben Mendelsohn) is absent for now, but it’s interesting to hear his voice say, “Hey, where are we going?” in John’s mind. He might as well be talking about the show, too. It turns out John is going nowhere fast, running into a gator in the road and destroying his vehicle. After putting the animal out of its misery and declining a ride home from a fellow officer, he heads out again on his destinationless journey. Meanwhile, his siblings are in full panic mode. Kevin, the true moron that he is, comes back to try and wake up the man he just brained with a ceramic dolphin, hiding when Meg pulls up, and hitting his head in the process. It will be a TV miracle if Kevin survives this season. … [Read more...] about Season-Premiere Recap: The Road to Nowhere
