@@uriah6266 it has nothing to do with a happy ending it's about wrapping up the story and not leaving tons of unanswered questions. It's always the most difficult part of any story.
Season 3 is what you get when you have to put three seasons into ten episodes.Had Netflix not pulled the plug I'm sure the writing would have been a lot sharper. Season 3 isn't bad but it's not a satisfying wrap-up.
I think it dropped off in quality pretty badly after season 2. I just have no interest to watch these people who are just fucking awful human beings. They have zero redeeming qualities and they ruin other people's lives because they won't deal with what they've done. It's not even interesting anymore it's just more of the same shit.
@@BTFU93 You're correct. I'm almost done with season 3 and you echo my exact same thoughts. Season 1 & 2 was very good. I'm glad I discovered the show but the quality fell off a cliff in the last season

I hated episode 9. My wife and I just skipped it halfway through. It contributed nothing to further the plot. Not realizing it was the official final season was hoping they didn't waste that episode. They should have used it to close more stories. Was a little let down towards the end of this season. Good first half.
How can you say something contributed nothing when you didn't finish watching it? The revelation at the end of that episode sets John up for the finale.
@@fareshajjar1208 I've always wondered why my wife's mum was so bloody difficult to live with, she had moultiple bad marriages, drinking problems, didn't trust people, she was so subborn she used to drive us nuts!! I found out much later, that her dad raped her when she was a child and she never recovered from it, she was never the same after that. I'm telling you that very personal story, because I was like you... quick to judge and knowing all the answers. Most of us are lucky to never meet this type of experiences on our way, but this doesn't mean other people have been so lucky. I've learned that exact moment, to be less judgemental, be more patient and REALLY try to put myself in someone elses shoes. We don't fully know how heavy those type of moments could or would weigh on us through out our own life.
After the “5 months later” it went super downhill for me. Nothing made sense. I also felt like it was a different director during season 3 it just felt different. I was so disappointed with the ending. And did they try making Ozzy have some kinds super power? And they kill him off that quick? Meg just disappears? Kev and company was smart enough to dip to Cuba but not smart enough to ditch their phones?? C’mon now Loved the series though
I cant help but think the story with Ozzy turned out so bad because they had completely different plans for his charactrt before the show got canceled, and then they just had to ditch those plans and find a way to write him out of the show. It would have been better if he had just disappeared and never came back rather than the weird, half baked, nonsensical story he had in season 3. And episode 9 was a train wreck.
Danny for me I understood him and identified the most. The rest are very dark. He do more damage dead than alive he expose the family's identity. They were all living by appearances, that is why is so good.
Danny was evil. He sought to destroy everyone in his life and to keep destroying them even after they were dead. He is Satan. He is a monster and never deserved any of the kindness he was shown.
@@grungesanta Bad things happen to many people, but we are all given a choice whether to use those experiences for good or evil. Danny was all bad with a few brief interludes when he took a break from destroying peoples lives. He did not want to be left alone. When he was left alone. He wanted to hurt and destroy his family. I actually cheered when the last breath of life was squeezed out of that horrible waste product of a human being. Dude had no redeeming qualities....zero.
@@grungesanta Nope. Every single person has a choice, no matter what. You have a choice to be decent or to hurt others. We all have that choice no matter what happened to us.
If Danny hadn’t come home, then the family would’ve been fine. More over, Danny was a terrible guy and had it coming. For sure we can empathize with what made him that way but…he was still a terrible influence which rippled out into entire family and friend network.
I'm actually kinda of said it ended. The way mother described the kids birth kind of fucked me up. Danny's wig was horrible though. John was bound to break sooner or later. Too many years of covering up for his family I guess. Good review.
Three series: GREAT - GREAT - BAD (kind of okay for a while, horrible for 2 final episodes). Great acting, slow burning drama, nice environment and atmosphere.
I loved the series finale, and I don't think people understood it. I think the whole reason for the rivalry and contention between Danny and John slipped by people without them noticing. It was subtle. It was a flashback scene, and Danny and John are talking, and it's revealed Diana was first interested in Danny, and I think that was the first seed of anger in John that he never quite got over. I think he never forgot and it always bothered him. It was brilliant. Something so small and simple sank an entire family.
@@sid.469 for sure. It’s an outstanding show. There aren’t a lot of shows that do the murder thing very well. Killing another human being sometimes happens in a show and then it’s fixed/covered up and they move on to something new. This show shows the true outcome of killing someone. It can’t be swept under the rug. It rears it’s head all the time. It digs deep into the very fabric of who the people involved are as a person and they are never the same.
Episode 9 was so bad I found myself not wanting to watch the season finale...they really missed a great opportunity to end one of the greatest shows I’ve had the privilege of viewing.
I would like to know more about the Sally/Robert/Gilbert relationship. John and Kevin touched on it but it's left up to you to decide. Decide what exactly?? I guess I need to rewatch that.
My things is this . When Danny was alive no one really seem to care about his crimes . He gets murdered and this whole show gets all teary about Danny . This show is ridiculously dumb lol I can’t keep up with all the back and forth bs . Than Marc is a crooked cop but yet he wants to play good cop . I can’t . I’m glad this show was canceled
I just finished Bloodlines and came here to see if other people thought like I did.. this was the biggest build up to a complete waste of time I've ever watched.
The entire last season was horrible. Not even because the last two episodes. I still don’t know who that lady was that knew Danny’s son, she also knew Chelsea O’bannon. Very weird last season
Excellent show. I mean, the performances were outstanding. Kevin, John, and Eric O'Bannon's performances were just brilliant. The emotion and expression they brought was consistent and just fantastic. Loved John Leguizamo and his characters performance too. He's a brilliant actor and makes a character that the audience should dislike, actually like and enjoy. Such an awesome show overall. I'll be sad for a while.
In my opinion, the ending was fucking terrible. They had such a slow burn through three seasons that kept me interested to see how it ended and it ended in a fade to black. I hated the ending, we deserved more.
@@BingeWatchers So I finished binge watching Bloodline today. Great show! I'm sure the showrunner had bigger plans for Lequizamo's character but, unfortunately, had to cut his storyline short. Finding out they had to wrap up the show early undoubtedly forced them to make a lot of changes. I would have loved to see what other dark secrets the Rayburns were keeping!
If you watch the final episodes credits all the way through to the end it actually gives you a pretty good hint as to the closure of it all. That was my interpretation at least.
I have watched "Bloodline" many times over. All I can say is it has a fabulous cast. Best Looking...Best Actor...Kyle Chandler! Best Supporting Actor...Best Bad Guy...Ben Mendelsohn! Still puzzled by Season three.
bloodline season 1 was some of the best television I have ever watched. like up there some of the best single seasons of tv ever like true dectective s1 and leftovers s2. but it dropped hard for me In season 2 , like it is a totally different show. and I can barely get through the second episode of season 3
The ending sucked. I was so angry at the corruption and was waiting for karma and it never came. It did for Kevin, but I feel the writers wanted us to feel sorry for John.
Iv'e watched bloodline alone 2 times. First time was 5-6 years ago and i saw season one just when it came out. I was INSTANTLY hooked just like you. Back then i was sick and just lying in bed in a cold snowy Sweden. So seeing the beauitful nature and scenery made me so at peace, even if the show was super dramatic at times. Now, 5 years later, it popped up on my Netflix homepage and i watched it from start to finish. The metaphore you used is soo true!! I could legit not stop watching and the yet I had this strange feeling of love/hate relationship to where the show was going. And the drama bits sheesh it got intense let me tell ya. THEN i fricking see the 9th and 10th episode of season 3 and I'm like wtf is going on haha. I just almost couldn't watch it and then the show ended and I'm here like huh?? All and all: Great first season, good second season, mediocre third season and such a weird and dissapointing ending. Thx for the rope metaphore tho it described what i felt so much xD Peeace ♥
The moment I saw John Leguizamo's face, I knew the series was over. That guy kills everything he shows up in. He is THE kiss of death for any movie or TV series. It's not a slow story in any way. It's way too fast, if anything. Islamorada is tiny... so many murders in just a matter of months is absurd. The real fault of the writers was to try to build too much tension in the viewer. At some point it became unrealistic that every possible thing in the world goes wrong for John--some by chance and some almost miraculous-- but always some new threat on the horizon without a single breather. That doesn't happen in real life. All the drug dealers, traffickers, murders, thieves, and DANNY (most of all) are blessed with supernatural teflon. Nothing they do ever sticks, just slides right off. But John and the rest of the family are cursed. If they threw a cigarette butt out the window in 1978, three people were recording it and ready to show up out of the woodwork to threaten them.
"Kevin is the worst"...Haha I totally agree with you. Your reaction is exactly like mine. Season 3 is not what I expected but it is still good. Can't wait for your House of Cards reaction 😊
Really wished they could have done all 5/6 seasons that they initially planned, I feel like this show had so much potential that they couldn't fill out with only 3 seasons. Loved it all the same, the 'mind-fuck' episodes was definitely one of my favourites from the whole show.
Ethan Reece I......disagree, actually. Season 2 wrote the show into a corner and set it on a specific course, that course being that everything was starting to fall apart. There really wasn't a whole lot more they could write about without making the show feel like it's taking too long.
Im shocked sooo many people hated this season. I loved it. Yes there were some bad moments and episode 9 sucked, but I really thought this was a fantastic season, especially the trial. Whatever though, I loved it.
When Ozzy just ends it there I was just like wtf, what a waste. I was hoping for a lot more there. But I think maybe they came into a problem there if he were to end up helping O'bannon maybe it wouldn't of ended the way it did, so they ened it there instead idk.
I loved the show up until the last two episodes. The ending by far was the worst in tv series history tied with Lost. I was super disappointed. It was like you had the game winning touchdown run and you trip at the one yard line...A BIG WTF to the writers!!!
I believe John died via suicide which he wanted to appear as a “diving accident”. Notice the boat at the beginning of the 3rd to salt episode. The last 2 episodes were just John’s life flashing before him in death.
Bloodline needed more time. Despite that... they pulled it off well for being fucked over by Netflix. I see a lot of people hated Episode 9 in your comments. I think it was a great penultimate episode. While it was making me ask what the fuck is going on just a bit too long, Danny and John's arc comes to the perfect place for it to end in the last episode. I always loved how the show never said the things you can feel when seeing John and Danny together on screen. Speaking of the ending I expected it to be left open and hearing Robert's voice in the credits was absolutely chilling...
Watched the show my second time just now since when it first released. I also felt the trippy episode was trippy for way too long, but I did appreciate the concept of the episode. And the part looking out the window at hallucination Nolan with hallucination Danny asking the question “why did you always feel like you had to help me?” Basically saying that he could never truly feel a part of the family with the belittlement John always gave him because of guilt towards doing nothing against their dad. While John thinks Danny hates him for doing nothing, John’s idea of Danny basically disagrees saying “no. I don’t care about that….it’s that all I ever wanted was an apology.” Basically to acknowledge everyone in the family has made mistakes rather than the common story being “Danny is the problem.”
SPOILERS: Just finished season 3 and I loved it! I liked all the seasons but this was the best. I loved the family drama and seeing everybody deal with what they have done. Completely underrated show. Season 2 I feel was the worst, but overall the show was great. It ended at a good time.
I thought the first 2 episodes of season 3 were fantastic and incredibly tense, almost on par with season 1 but then the rest of season 3 happened. Disappointing
I hated bloodline last season I wanted all of the rayburns to pay especially john for killing his brother..I didn't like the fact that Eric just gave up like that knowing he was framed that's bullshit
I'm wonder if the ending even actually happened. It seems like he died in a lot of the things were his memories or his fantasies or some kind a weird life flashing before your eyes thing. That's what I couldn't figure out.
the first 5 episodes were great, I think it all starts to go downhill after Eric goes to Jail after being framed, they didn't know where to go from there and how to end it. John gets away with everything because his boss can't be bothered to bring him in because he is leaving, yes I hate Kevin too he is a dumbass, but after Sally Testifies she is truly the most evil and worst out of the Rayburns, chose her cheating husband over her son, showed no remorse at all in helping Eric be framed, all because she said she did it for Meg. if she did it for Meg she would have turned in Kevin, and tell the truth.
One I will say I love this series. Love the setting and the tragedy of it all. Will say the Episode before the finale really threw me way the hell out into another universe. Which carried over into the finale for a time and not knowing if what happened to John was real or made up in his head. It was beautiful madness, torture, and tragedy rolled into a ball of confusion that I’m still attempting to sort out this morning over coffee. While I did enjoy the last scene. It left me wanting some words to be spoken to Nolan. I’m probably going to watch the last season again to make an attempt to sort this all out. Thanks for this review!
I agree, it's a great show with good writing and acting. I did love the mind fuck episode as well, just wish they would have made at least 2 more seasons.
I loved season 1 and 2! I can't believe they cancelled it. We ABSOLUTELY needed more than 3 seasons to wrap everything up. Season 3 was so rushed and ridiculous. I hated the last few episodes, especially episode 9. It gave us nothing and was just annoying to watch. There was so much potential for character development and story progression and I'm so pissed that I feel like they ruined a good show and honestly just wasted my time. Smh.
It does feel like someone told them while they were in the middle of making the season - listen guys this season is going to be your last so wrap this up!
If you gave me 5 minutes, i could write the last three episodes in a way that would have tied everything up perfectly. The way they ended the show was complete garbage, some of the worst writing ever. Let's start a new meme for when a show "jumps the shark": now we can start calling it "shooting the gator".
It would have been so easy to, from the part when DelVecchio kills himself, instead, he shoots the guy in the passenger seat, then forces the driver to take him to Roy Gilbert. Instead of Roy having a heart attack, DelVecchio kills him. Kevin gets off for the murder of Marco, but new evidence (obtained by DelVecchio from Gilbert) is planted, making Meg look guilty. She stands trial, but is acquitted. Rayburn family has a big party, celebrating how they are never held accountable for anything. Instead of John preventing Eric's murder, Gilbert's shooter kills Eric when he goes to his mother's funeral. DelVecchio learns Gilbert was behind the hit and tells Chelsea, who just lost her job at the hospital, her mother, and her brother. At the Rayburn party, Sally informs Kevin that Gilbert was his real father. Chelsea comes along with two pistols and kills Kevin, Meg, Sally, Belle, and John's wife, before John shows up and shoots Chelsea. John, seeing his family dead and finally coming to terms with his guilt, sucks on the barrel of his gun and blows his brains out. DelVecchio, watching from a hidden spot, rushes to save Chelsea. But before leaving, they plant Chelsea's guns on John, making the scene look like a murder-suicide. With all the adult heirs to the Rayburn fortune dead, the Rayburn estate is evenly split between all of Sally's grandchildren. The end. All of that could have easily fit into two episodes & leaves almost no questions unanswered. What do you think of my revised ending? PS - you desperately need to binge watch the new season of Prison Break, which just ended last week! I absolutely *could not* have written a better revival season for that show & the finale was spectacular, practically flawless.
I consider Myself a Normally INTELLIGENT Person Along with all of you Out there! Pretty Sad Writing Flaw on the Part of the Writers and Director of Bloodline When I Have to look up on TH-cam For the Last 4 or So Episodes to Be Explained to me Because I Got So lost and Confused!
Yeah episode 9 wtf.. Tbh tho I feel series 3 was a bit of a mess towards the end kind of in a rush to finish it? Or at least that's how it felt to me.. Ran out of real answers same with the ending. Really enjoyed it on the whole just left me a little cold on it's conclusion.
agree with you that the part with ozzie didn't really fit. I half-liked the trippy part you were talking about, i think it was good attempt at John trying to face his reality of his situation without all the family opinions, i think it was when John was most true to himself. I was really confused about the whole fake priest thing, I don't get how you can get two different people can have same hallucinations of the same person. The most cringe worthy character I am between Kevin and Sally. The trial arc was a little cloudy too, I didn't end well in my opinion. Also whatever happened with Nolan and Eve? Eve just disappeared and I don't quite remember how that ended.
In this season, Kevin tried to be a good person. He just did what John was telling to him. And the episode 9 was horrible... however season finale was great, Bloodline will leave me homesick!
Excellent show, so of course it got cancelled. Just like Rome. My take on the final scene is that John went with young Danny's advice and chose not to dump his guilt on Nolan. He already confessed to the sheriff and he understood his actions in a way that no one else could and the fact that he was willing to turn in Kevin. He saved Danny's son from a life-changing moment that would darken him, just like his father. That was John's chance to correct the past.
As long as they were dealing with low life criminals, the show got a green light, but introduce people like Beau Bridges' character, and suddenly it's gone too far.
Good shows need a default outlet when Netflix decides to axe them. Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph is the grand nephew of top 20th century propagandist promoter Edward Bernays. So if a really good show comes along that rubs against the Official Narrative in any way, it will probably get cancelled.
Thanks for the review! I'm excited to get to Season 3! It's on my list, I loved seasons 1 and 2. Also, two questions: Do you watch the Leftovers? If not, WHY don't you watch the Leftovers? Watch it ASAP and I'd love a series review :) That sounded demanding lol sorry :P Also, have you been watching American Gods? Have you thought about doing an Open Season Review maybe?
I can't believe the show is over after Season 3, so many questions left unknown. And for the record, episode 9 was terrible. It was a waste of 45 minutes and could have been skipped entirely.
That's my story too. I never got around to it for over a year. I always saw the poster (for lack of the proper term) of it every time I turned on Amazon video but thought it would be boring. First, it's a comedy. I thought it was going to be very serious and stuffy....no. The conductor is so quirky and lovable. Hayley or "Hi Li" as Rodrigo the conductor calls her.... I laugh every time he calls her that. Well, you just get totally in her corner and want her succeed in music and love. I could go on and on about the supporting cast too. They're so well developed.... Just watch it. The episodes are only 30 minutes long. Come to think of it that's the only bad thing about the show, it's too short.
I couldn’t stand Kevin. He is just like my brother so I was totally annoyed with him. I found the mother fascinating and would like someone to delve into her hidden and twisted personality. She seemed so normal at first but in the end she hated her sons and probably hated her husband too!! Anyway that’s how I saw it.
I just finished it and while i didn't care for the show much I didn't think the ending was THAT atrocious. I have seen many shows the past 5 years and I've seen worse
Not exactly up there with Breaking Bad in terms of the ending is it, think they needed to look to Vince Gilligan for some writing tips on how to wrap up a show and answer all questions..... after investing so much time it’s the least the viewers deserve!
I'm now on the TV TIME app as Binge Watchers! You can download here bit.ly/TVtimeBW and look me up.
Don't care what anybody says but Kevin was a way bigger fuck up than Danny.
This is one of the best shows I ever watched with the worst ending I've ever watched.
Your spot on!!!
I’ll never understand why it’s about the ending for some folks :) you can tell a story without a happy ending
The final two episodes were terrible. How could they screw it up so badly?
Uriah It's not always about a happy ending. The ending of Bloodline was nothing short of sloppy and rushed writing.

Excellent show. I mean, the performances were outstanding. Kevin, John, and Eric O'Bannon's performances were just brilliant. The emotion and expression they brought was consistent and just fantastic. Loved John Leguizamo and his characters performance too. He's a brilliant actor and makes a character that the audience should dislike, actually like and enjoy. Such an awesome show overall. I'll be sad for a while.
In my opinion, the ending was fucking terrible. They had such a slow burn through three seasons that kept me interested to see how it ended and it ended in a fade to black. I hated the ending, we deserved more.
I agree we needed more closure here, it feels like they didn't know it's going to be their last season as they were making it.
In a nutshell this show is all about flashbacks and alcohol
And hallucinations
I feel like AI wrote the last few episodes 😕
I loved this show so much, soooooo much. Then the last 3 episodes ruined my life. I was so pissed. Then I read that it was rushed. Wtf!
season 1 was great,downhill from there.That Ozzie subplot what a waste and that dream episode i skipped 20 minutes in. Disappointed😕
The whole thing with Ozzy really didn't make sense to me, they could have used that time for Nolan. I liked the dream episode though :)
smokey nyc I wanted someone to punch him the entire time
@@BingeWatchers So I finished binge watching Bloodline today. Great show! I'm sure the showrunner had bigger plans for Lequizamo's character but, unfortunately, had to cut his storyline short. Finding out they had to wrap up the show early undoubtedly forced them to make a lot of changes. I would have loved to see what other dark secrets the Rayburns were keeping!
If you watch the final episodes credits all the way through to the end it actually gives you a pretty good hint as to the closure of it all. That was my interpretation at least.
Are you referring to some kind of after credits scene? I didn't see one...
Are you referring to the dialogue that played through the credits?
Meg exit was rushed, kevins was rushed, even Gilbert. it was too rushed, even John character felt fed up with thr whole thing. lol
I have watched "Bloodline" many times over. All I can say is it has a fabulous cast. Best Looking...Best Actor...Kyle Chandler! Best Supporting Actor...Best Bad Guy...Ben Mendelsohn! Still puzzled by Season three.
One of the best shows that's underrated!✅️🍻
Bloodline is the best show ever, suspense and tragedy, perfect
Definitely a super high-quality drama!
bloodline season 1 was some of the best television I have ever watched. like up there some of the best single seasons of tv ever like true dectective s1 and leftovers s2. but it dropped hard for me In season 2 , like it is a totally different show. and I can barely get through the second episode of season 3
The ending sucked. I was so angry at the corruption and was waiting for karma and it never came. It did for Kevin, but I feel the writers wanted us to feel sorry for John.
I wanted justice for Danny! They did him so wrong...and Kevin pissed me off. He never took accountability for anything he did. 😡
Iv'e watched bloodline alone 2 times. First time was 5-6 years ago and i saw season one just when it came out. I was INSTANTLY hooked just like you. Back then i was sick and just lying in bed in a cold snowy Sweden. So seeing the beauitful nature and scenery made me so at peace, even if the show was super dramatic at times.
Now, 5 years later, it popped up on my Netflix homepage and i watched it from start to finish.
The metaphore you used is soo true!! I could legit not stop watching and the yet I had this strange feeling of love/hate relationship to where the show was going. And the drama bits sheesh it got intense let me tell ya.
THEN i fricking see the 9th and 10th episode of season 3 and I'm like wtf is going on haha. I just almost couldn't watch it and then the show ended and I'm here like huh??
All and all: Great first season, good second season, mediocre third season and such a weird and dissapointing ending.
Thx for the rope metaphore tho it described what i felt so much xD Peeace ♥
How rough were Sally's words there at the end. You're right Keven is the absolute worst! Felt for John. Always trying to fix everything.
The moment I saw John Leguizamo's face, I knew the series was over. That guy kills everything he shows up in. He is THE kiss of death for any movie or TV series. It's not a slow story in any way. It's way too fast, if anything. Islamorada is tiny... so many murders in just a matter of months is absurd. The real fault of the writers was to try to build too much tension in the viewer. At some point it became unrealistic that every possible thing in the world goes wrong for John--some by chance and some almost miraculous-- but always some new threat on the horizon without a single breather. That doesn't happen in real life. All the drug dealers, traffickers, murders, thieves, and DANNY (most of all) are blessed with supernatural teflon. Nothing they do ever sticks, just slides right off. But John and the rest of the family are cursed. If they threw a cigarette butt out the window in 1978, three people were recording it and ready to show up out of the woodwork to threaten them.
"Kevin is the worst"...Haha I totally agree with you. Your reaction is exactly like mine. Season 3 is not what I expected but it is still good. Can't wait for your House of Cards reaction 😊
John died at the end of episode 8 and the last two episodes are just john’s subconscious resolving his regrets
Omg really 😞
Episode 9 was crazy
Really wished they could have done all 5/6 seasons that they initially planned, I feel like this show had so much potential that they couldn't fill out with only 3 seasons. Loved it all the same, the 'mind-fuck' episodes was definitely one of my favourites from the whole show.
Ethan Reece I......disagree, actually. Season 2 wrote the show into a corner and set it on a specific course, that course being that everything was starting to fall apart.
There really wasn't a whole lot more they could write about without making the show feel like it's taking too long.
Im shocked sooo many people hated this season. I loved it. Yes there were some bad moments and episode 9 sucked, but I really thought this was a fantastic season, especially the trial. Whatever though, I loved it.
When Ozzy just ends it there I was just like wtf, what a waste. I was hoping for a lot more there. But I think maybe they came into a problem there if he were to end up helping O'bannon maybe it wouldn't of ended the way it did, so they ened it there instead idk.
Right not only was it anticlimactic, but it was so abrupt. They could've done so much with him fr
Should have ended the show after the trial imo the suspense was great, would have capped it off nicely. Great show otherwise.
Yeah, definitely some weird story choices at the end there.
Kyle Chandler shows his darker side in the 3 season. Mirrors his brother's Danny's behavior. Very interesting love the show.
Yep, Kyle Chandler definitely brings his A-game in this show.
I loved the show up until the last two episodes. The ending by far was the worst in tv series history tied with Lost. I was super disappointed. It was like you had the game winning touchdown run and you trip at the one yard line...A BIG WTF to the writers!!!
BLOODLINE is not too boring LOL I loved that show! It was AMAAAAAAZING!!!!! Thanks for the vídeo Ron!
I believe John died via suicide which he wanted to appear as a “diving accident”. Notice the boat at the beginning of the 3rd to salt episode. The last 2 episodes were just John’s life flashing before him in death.
Bloodline needed more time. Despite that... they pulled it off well for being fucked over by Netflix. I see a lot of people hated Episode 9 in your comments. I think it was a great penultimate episode. While it was making me ask what the fuck is going on just a bit too long, Danny and John's arc comes to the perfect place for it to end in the last episode. I always loved how the show never said the things you can feel when seeing John and Danny together on screen. Speaking of the ending I expected it to be left open and hearing Robert's voice in the credits was absolutely chilling...
Watched the show my second time just now since when it first released. I also felt the trippy episode was trippy for way too long, but I did appreciate the concept of the episode. And the part looking out the window at hallucination Nolan with hallucination Danny asking the question “why did you always feel like you had to help me?” Basically saying that he could never truly feel a part of the family with the belittlement John always gave him because of guilt towards doing nothing against their dad. While John thinks Danny hates him for doing nothing, John’s idea of Danny basically disagrees saying “no. I don’t care about that….it’s that all I ever wanted was an apology.” Basically to acknowledge everyone in the family has made mistakes rather than the common story being “Danny is the problem.”
SPOILERS: Just finished season 3 and I loved it! I liked all the seasons but this was the best. I loved the family drama and seeing everybody deal with what they have done. Completely underrated show. Season 2 I feel was the worst, but overall the show was great. It ended at a good time.
I thought the first 2 episodes of season 3 were fantastic and incredibly tense, almost on par with season 1 but then the rest of season 3 happened. Disappointing
Bloodline is a masterpiece.
Questions unanswered...isn’t that the way EVERY Netflix TV series ends? Lol.
I hated bloodline last season I wanted all of the rayburns to pay especially john for killing his brother..I didn't like the fact that Eric just gave up like that knowing he was framed that's bullshit
I'm wonder if the ending even actually happened. It seems like he died in a lot of the things were his memories or his fantasies or some kind a weird life flashing before your eyes thing. That's what I couldn't figure out.
the first 5 episodes were great, I think it all starts to go downhill after Eric goes to Jail after being framed, they didn't know where to go from there and how to end it. John gets away with everything because his boss can't be bothered to bring him in because he is leaving, yes I hate Kevin too he is a dumbass, but after Sally Testifies she is truly the most evil and worst out of the Rayburns, chose her cheating husband over her son, showed no remorse at all in helping Eric be framed, all because she said she did it for Meg. if she did it for Meg she would have turned in Kevin, and tell the truth.
One I will say I love this series. Love the setting and the tragedy of it all. Will say the Episode before the finale really threw me way the hell out into another universe.
Which carried over into the finale for a time and not knowing if what happened to John was real or made up in his head.
It was beautiful madness, torture, and tragedy rolled into a ball of confusion that I’m still attempting to sort out this morning over coffee.
While I did enjoy the last scene. It left me wanting some words to be spoken to Nolan. I’m probably going to watch the last season again to make an attempt to sort this all out.
Thanks for this review!
I agree, it's a great show with good writing and acting. I did love the mind fuck episode as well, just wish they would have made at least 2 more seasons.
The last few episodes were trash but I think it’s because they were forced to tie it all up due to not being renewed.
I love the show, the plot and the characters; but the 9th. and final 10th.episodes of the 3rd. season are a bit confusing, to say the least.
I loved season 1 and 2! I can't believe they cancelled it. We ABSOLUTELY needed more than 3 seasons to wrap everything up. Season 3 was so rushed and ridiculous. I hated the last few episodes, especially episode 9. It gave us nothing and was just annoying to watch. There was so much potential for character development and story progression and I'm so pissed that I feel like they ruined a good show and honestly just wasted my time. Smh.
It does feel like someone told them while they were in the middle of making the season - listen guys this season is going to be your last so wrap this up!
Binge Watchers Exactly! I don't get why, either. It was suchhh a good show. The acting was top notch, too.
What happened to Meg? What happened to Ozzy? Why so many side characters that do nothing?
If you gave me 5 minutes, i could write the last three episodes in a way that would have tied everything up perfectly. The way they ended the show was complete garbage, some of the worst writing ever.
Let's start a new meme for when a show "jumps the shark": now we can start calling it "shooting the gator".
I gotta say I kind of like that :)
It would have been so easy to, from the part when DelVecchio kills himself, instead, he shoots the guy in the passenger seat, then forces the driver to take him to Roy Gilbert. Instead of Roy having a heart attack, DelVecchio kills him. Kevin gets off for the murder of Marco, but new evidence (obtained by DelVecchio from Gilbert) is planted, making Meg look guilty. She stands trial, but is acquitted. Rayburn family has a big party, celebrating how they are never held accountable for anything. Instead of John preventing Eric's murder, Gilbert's shooter kills Eric when he goes to his mother's funeral. DelVecchio learns Gilbert was behind the hit and tells Chelsea, who just lost her job at the hospital, her mother, and her brother. At the Rayburn party, Sally informs Kevin that Gilbert was his real father. Chelsea comes along with two pistols and kills Kevin, Meg, Sally, Belle, and John's wife, before John shows up and shoots Chelsea. John, seeing his family dead and finally coming to terms with his guilt, sucks on the barrel of his gun and blows his brains out. DelVecchio, watching from a hidden spot, rushes to save Chelsea. But before leaving, they plant Chelsea's guns on John, making the scene look like a murder-suicide. With all the adult heirs to the Rayburn fortune dead, the Rayburn estate is evenly split between all of Sally's grandchildren. The end. All of that could have easily fit into two episodes & leaves almost no questions unanswered.
What do you think of my revised ending?
PS - you desperately need to binge watch the new season of Prison Break, which just ended last week! I absolutely *could not* have written a better revival season for that show & the finale was spectacular, practically flawless.
@@mattclarknyc *Eeeehhhhhhh*
Episode 9 was sooooo good. It kept me guessing the whole time.
Such a love it or hate it episode, it was a weird story decision but I liked it.
I woulda liked it more if it explained or showed what ACTUALLY happened
I consider Myself a Normally INTELLIGENT Person Along with all of you Out there! Pretty Sad Writing Flaw on the Part of the Writers and Director of Bloodline When I Have to look up on TH-cam For the Last 4 or So Episodes to Be Explained to me Because I Got So lost and Confused!
Yeah episode 9 wtf.. Tbh tho I feel series 3 was a bit of a mess towards the end kind of in a rush to finish it? Or at least that's how it felt to me.. Ran out of real answers same with the ending. Really enjoyed it on the whole just left me a little cold on it's conclusion.
Definately had some weird character wrap ups....but felt Nolan was drawn to John and that was the suggestion @ the end
agree with you that the part with ozzie didn't really fit. I half-liked the trippy part you were talking about, i think it was good attempt at John trying to face his reality of his situation without all the family opinions, i think it was when John was most true to himself. I was really confused about the whole fake priest thing, I don't get how you can get two different people can have same hallucinations of the same person. The most cringe worthy character I am between Kevin and Sally. The trial arc was a little cloudy too, I didn't end well in my opinion. Also whatever happened with Nolan and Eve? Eve just disappeared and I don't quite remember how that ended.
did you liked season 3? I really liked the first 2 seasons but season 3 was an huge disappointment for me
Overall I liked it for the strong performances and quality of the show, but yeah it was a disappointing conclusion to the show.
I love this show. A binger. Almost at the end of season 3
I think Ozzie storyline would've been more developed if they had another season
I got 2 episodes left in season 3. Man I love the show but season 3 is just dragging. It really fell off a cliff this season. Hate the story lines
In this season, Kevin tried to be a good person. He just did what John was telling to him.
And the episode 9 was horrible... however season finale was great, Bloodline will leave me homesick!
Excellent show, so of course it got cancelled. Just like Rome. My take on the final scene is that John went with young Danny's advice and chose not to dump his guilt on Nolan. He already confessed to the sheriff and he understood his actions in a way that no one else could and the fact that he was willing to turn in Kevin. He saved Danny's son from a life-changing moment that would darken him, just like his father. That was John's chance to correct the past.
Even the family name Ray-Burn (sunburn), had a bad connotation.
As long as they were dealing with low life criminals, the show got a green light, but introduce people like Beau Bridges' character, and suddenly it's gone too far.
Good shows need a default outlet when Netflix decides to axe them. Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph is the grand nephew of top 20th century propagandist promoter Edward Bernays. So if a really good show comes along that rubs against the Official Narrative in any way, it will probably get cancelled.
you should talk about American crime on Netflix. that show is so dope. I can't believe it got cancelled
Who was the girl that bailed Danny out? I think she was Sally’s daughter .... I watched the 3 seasons WITH MY FACE!
Thanks for the review! I'm excited to get to Season 3! It's on my list, I loved seasons 1 and 2. Also, two questions: Do you watch the Leftovers? If not, WHY don't you watch the Leftovers? Watch it ASAP and I'd love a series review :) That sounded demanding lol sorry :P Also, have you been watching American Gods? Have you thought about doing an Open Season Review maybe?
I can't believe the show is over after Season 3, so many questions left unknown. And for the record, episode 9 was terrible. It was a waste of 45 minutes and could have been skipped entirely.
ur wife must just hate anything that you like because bloodline is the most exciting show EVER
do u recommend this show for newcomers @bingewatchers St viewer
I've been binging Amazon video very hard lately. Just finished the first three seasons of Mozart In The Jungle.
How is it? Never got around to it.
That's my story too. I never got around to it for over a year. I always saw the poster (for lack of the proper term) of it every time I turned on Amazon video but thought it would be boring. First, it's a comedy. I thought it was going to be very serious and stuffy....no. The conductor is so quirky and lovable. Hayley or "Hi Li" as Rodrigo the conductor calls her.... I laugh every time he calls her that. Well, you just get totally in her corner and want her succeed in music and love. I could go on and on about the supporting cast too. They're so well developed.... Just watch it. The episodes are only 30 minutes long. Come to think of it that's the only bad thing about the show, it's too short.
Great show but the last 2 episodes of season 3 really sucked. It’s like they ran out of good material and there wasn’t any where to go with it.
Why was the ending terrible
I kinda hated this show. Just had it in the background while I worked. I loathed Danny and Kevin’s character. Ozzie had no business there.
Sally hated the other kids but loved donny
I couldn’t stand Kevin. He is just like my brother so I was totally annoyed with him. I found the mother fascinating and would like someone to delve into her hidden and twisted personality. She seemed so normal at first but in the end she hated her sons and probably hated her husband too!! Anyway that’s how I saw it.
S1-2: 8/10
S3: 4/10
=6/10
Good two season, last season was bad. Very bad ending.
I just finished it and while i didn't care for the show much I didn't think the ending was THAT atrocious. I have seen many shows the past 5 years and I've seen worse
Not exactly up there with Breaking Bad in terms of the ending is it, think they needed to look to Vince Gilligan for some writing tips on how to wrap up a show and answer all questions..... after investing so much time it’s the least the viewers deserve!
Bloodline is incredible!! Loved it from beginning to end. And I really loved the fever dream episode. I had to watch it twice❤️
I loved this show. I didn't care for the ending.
I couldn’t watch the show after Danny was killed off it was terrible and somehow I think it was the best story I have ever seen
HEY MAN I NEED YOUR INPUT ON SENSE8'S CANCELLATION
Ben Mendelssohn was outstanding as tragic Danny. I was crushed when he was killed.
Kevin was a trainwreck.
Excellent series, rushed ending.
I didn't hate episode 9 but it kinda felt like a rip off of the Leftovers.
