    The first season of Bloodline was pretty slow, but it was compelling.
    This season is just as slow, but most of the time I was just waiting for it to be over. I remember habitually checking the progress bar to see how many minutes were left.

    New characters are introduced, but there's no real new story. There's no decades-old mystery that keeps you watching, waiting to find out what happened to the family. There's no "how will it happen" event that's foretold in the voiceover at the start. There's a whiny teenager (well, two) which is accurate, but hard to like.
    Leguizamo is good as a crazy guy, but his character really doesn't do much.
    After all that, there's no real climax. It kind of plods along with more shots of the beautiful Florida keys with ominous thrums of music. The main character, John, whose job was a big focus of the first season, doesn't actually do any work. His political motivations, which make up a big part of this season, are unclear. Even when directly asked by another character, he can't explain them in any detail.
    That's mostly what happens this season: the characters just kind of do things, whether they make sense or not. Without a climactic event to drive the story, it ambles around aimlessly.    … Expand

    Not only does it makes you feel strange, but it also makes you wonder, 'why'?

    This season was boring and complicated enough for me to quit the entire show.

    Netfix doesn't want season 3 of Bloodline, I tottaly understand why.

    Didn't like season 2 at all. By the end of the season I felt I wasted my time. I hope they do not bring this back for another season as the entire second season was just characters whining. When Danny died, this show died.

    Like I always said, they killed Danny off too soon. His disaster-of-a-life is what this show was really about and now that he's gone, they're left trying to deal with the ghosts of his life. It's an awesome cast, the acting is superb, but the story just isn't there anymore.

    It's so relentlessly self-serious that it becomes increasingly tough to sit through. There's no levity or break from the insistence that what we're watching is a very important story about a family falling apart. If the characters were more active, or even just funnier, that might make them more palatable to hang out with. As it is, they're all mostly there to glower and worry about what they stand to lose.

    Series creators/showrunners Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Glenn Kessler find their groove in Season 2, incorporating a handful of exciting surprises--both in story and storytelling techniques--at various points throughout the season to keep things fresh, build tension and expose the inner workings of John's brain.

    The first new episode of season two--which takes place just a day after the first season's actions--seemed exponentially long, which was not a good sign. Getting through a second one was also a chore but had enough ridiculous signs of where Bloodline was going this time to be enough evidence to bail right then and there.
