    The third and final season of Bloodline, like the two that preceded it, is steeped in the show’s best qualities: the palpably noirish heat of the Florida Keys and fine acting from an ensemble that is truly as good as it gets on television. But its murders and cover-ups and layers of lies to mask the cover-ups often become extreme and trying to the patience.

    There are a few coincidences in the final hours that make the plotting strain credulity, and the second-to-the-last episode feels as though a big chunk of it was cut and pasted from previous seasons and leftover editing-room footage in order to reach the assigned 10 hours. Lumbering along, dragging family history along in a way that slows down its thriller storytelling, Bloodline contains too many instances of a character saying some variation on the line, “When’s it going to end?” or “How did we get here?”

    Bloodline seemed content with providing internal resolution for its lead character instead of answering for the incredible amount of tragedy stirred up over three seasons. The ultimate impact of the series ends up being as murky as the water in Key West is clear.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Meta is only allowing me to give this series a ZERO. I would give it 5 out of 10. So many things bothered me - Episode 9 was stunningly unoriginal. The best parts of Ep.9 were only a few minutes long. They could have fit in another episode.
    Ozzie and the imaginary priest, and his WTF end.
    Sally and a maybe imaginary priest. It feels like there was more of this story but a whole thread got cut.
    Beth Mackey, was she the illegitimate half-sister ? If not, where the hell is the half-sister ? Why was Beth, who seemed responsible, such close friends with sleazy criminals ?
    John's confession to Aguirre is rejected, and he gives up trying to turn himself in, instantly.
    The worst offense was Eric O'Bannon telling John to forget about trying to get him out of prison. Also Chelsea O'Bannon getting busted for stealing 1 percoset. I believe she'd be caught, but I don't think anyone would bother to steal one pill. One relatively weak pill, that would have almost no effect.
    When John is going to confess to Nolan it's not clear what's going to happen. Nolan might be too anti-police to turn John in. This series didn't need an ending like John Sayles Limbo, because unlike Limbo in Bloodline neither result is going to end in a happy future for John. He's going to jail, or he's going to live lonely, guilt ridden, and unhappy.    … Full Review »

It is as if several episodes were pasted together from the cutting room floor. Impossible to follow along and some characters may not have even bothered to show up in person. Linda Cardellini comes to mind. She looks like some of her previous footage was spliced in to give some credulity to the plots. The first season was superb with the wonderful Florida Keys and norish atmosphere. Season 2 suffered somewhat but still was worth your time. Season 3 was a shipwreck that just kept sinking.… Full Review »
