Bloodline

Right now you can watch Bloodline in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix — and it holds up to as much attention as you give it. The 3-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 403 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Kyle Chandler leads a cast that never overplays its hand. Put it on tonight on Netflix and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Bloodline earns its spot. The writing in Bloodline treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. 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. Kyle Chandler and Linda Cardellini lead a cast doing genuinely serious work here. 3 seasons (2015–2017) gave the story room most shows never get. Bloodline resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in Bloodline. M.I.A. Is the obvious comparison, but Bloodline earns its own place alongside it. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Kyle Chandler's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.

Bloodline wrapped up in 2017, created by Glenn Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Todd A. Kessler — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
