Finished the 3rd and final season of Netflix's Bloodline.
A show that had the juice of 7 episodes at max, but was pushed to 33 because Netflix, like a person with bad impulse control and inability to say no, does not know when to step up and say this isn't working, let's cancel this shit.
To be honest, it's not bad, or at least it wasn't for the most part. It looks terrific, and is acted amazingly, especially by Ben Mendelsohn (Seasons 1 & 2) and Kyle Chandler. But unfortunately, that is the biggest credit you can give this series. In fact Kyle Chandler, especially in S3, is so much better than anyone else in the show that you feel bad for the other actors. They can't come close to his level. Sad that he was surrounded in a plodding, dull show that thought it had something great to tell about toxic familial relations, and haunting traumas from the past that never quite die. But it becomes a chore to watch hour after hour of filler, storylines and characters that are literally tangential to the central plot, and not that interesting. This constant going around in circles was the biggest bane of this series. Felt repetitive, cyclical, overlong, plodding and overwritten when it didn't need to. It was about two brothers, one good, one bad, both having the potential to be the other, and that was a one season story at best (remember Homeland??).
Let's hope Kyle Chandler finds something to match his immense talent.
