    This review contains spoilers, click expand 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.    … Expand

    Very disappointing final season. It is as if several episodes were pasted together from the cutting room floor.

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.… Expand

    'Bloodline's final season is spiraling out of control, just like its characters. Even if this is an improvement from the previous season, it still struggles to find closure while reaching the end.

Season 3 starts off with a jarring first episode that doesn't really make you want to keep watching, but the second episode really sets up the season. The show chugs along for about 5 more episodes and is fairly good during this run,but then it starts to spin its wheels. There is some interesting stuff in the last 4 episodes but it should have been cut from about 4 hours to 1.5 hours. Episode 9 is absolutely WORTHLESS, after 20 minutes I fast-forwarded through the rest of the episode.

    Some of the major problems with this season : Mother Rayburn becomes more of an irritant and most of her scenes are worthless. John Leguizamo is still lurking around menacingly for some reason, but his scenes ultimately lead nowhere. A new character is introduced in the last couple of episodes which feels off since the show should be wrapping up.

    To summarize, the core plot of season 3 is decent, but there is a lot of time-wasting fluff. If you really liked this show, it is worth watching the final season but don't go in with too high of expectations.    … Expand

    This tightly-written, brilliantly acted, dark, and poignant series is one I will not soon forget. I just finished all three seasons. Anyone who had childhood experiences that changed your life's path will appreciate and become wholly lost in this exploration of 'the butterfly effect.' One act impacts the next and ever after. To Ben Mendelsohn, you are every bit the actor Deniro is. YourThis tightly-written, brilliantly acted, dark, and poignant series is one I will not soon forget. I just finished all three seasons. Anyone who had childhood experiences that changed your life's path will appreciate and become wholly lost in this exploration of 'the butterfly effect.' One act impacts the next and ever after. To Ben Mendelsohn, you are every bit the actor Deniro is. Your portrayal of Danny was nothing short of perfect and most likely more real than the writers ever envisioned. Deeply human. To the rest of the cast, I applaud you and your performances that brought each character such life that the viewer could almost predict how a character would respond in any given situation. I'm not saying the show was predictable; rather, your performances revealed the essence of each character in both nuanced and hard-hitting scenes. Thank you.… Expand

    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.

    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?”
