Bloodline - Season 3 (Official Thread)

[obarth]

A show that could have been, and for the first two seasons was, a great deconstruction of family, turned into a by the numbers drama. The whole Cuban angle felt extremely thrown in and I knew there was gonna be some sort of sting angle. The 9th episode was trying to be something that the rest of this season made it impossible to be. This show had the opportunity to examine family in a way not many shows have done. Sopranos was about a man juggling two families. This could have been a look at just how far reaching, uplifting at times, yet constraining, even poisonous it can be. The third generation was handled very poorly. Nolan got some development, but John's kids barely existed. John's daughter getting slapped by Sally last season had more effect than anything this season. Sissy Spacek did a great job this season doeKyle Chandler, just like with his imaginary Rayburn family, held this show together for three seasons. Ben Mendelsohn was the real MVP

Chandler did his thing in this role. But you right, Ben Mendelsohn was the MVP of the series. His character was written so well, he outshined the cast from the grave

The first season was almost as flawless as some of the greatest shows in TV history. I wish they would've somehow figured away to keep Danny alive throughout the series. His character was the lynchpin to everything. I will also say, this series was one of the best cast series I've seen in a long time. Even the guy who played that fukk boy Kevin

On episode 8. They can't keep getting away with this

 

[pete clemenza]

Just finished. Great acting. As everybody else said, I didn't care for the last two episodes. This show could've reached higher heights if they didn't kill off Danny in the first season.

-wished they could've delved deeper in what Gilbert's operation was. And wasn't it the Cuban's fault that they let a DEA agent infiltrate their crew? Or was the DEA agent part of Gilbert's crew? Kinda confusing.

-John Leguizamo.. he was wasted in season 3. Wtf did he off himself for

-Sally in the courtroom killed it but I really didn't get how that made O'Bannon bow out, plead guilty and take the plea deal

-Also the "you gotta get the hell outta this place" narrative throughout the seasons was That place was paradise. Just stop doing dumb shyt and live life.





Hell of a series though. It had a ton of potential. Now on to House Of Cards season 5

Show shoulda ended after season 1. S2 was good, but S1 was just

If Danny lives, there is no show. Let me rephrase that: if Danny doesn't die at the hands of John, there is no show. Maybe you let him live another season with same result at the end of season 2, but all of this doesn't come together without the death of Danny at John's hands

Episode 9 had me like the whole time. Final episode was

Underwhelming end to the series. They fukked around too much with Episode 9 and wrapped shyt up too quickly in the last episode. Overall, it's still a very good series. One of those "I hate all these motherfukkers and need to keep watching to see them burn" type of shows.

fukk Diana, fukk Kevin, double fukk Meg, and triple fukk Sally. I laughed during that Sally's final meltdown scene. She deserved worse than what she got.

John the only real one who actually gave a damn about anyone other than himself. He's not a bad guy, he just did a bad thing.

Spoiler

John tried to set things right by confessing, but the chief blew him off... so we STILL got an innocent man doing time for a murder he didn't commit

He tried to confess to one dude, they said and John just went like there was no one else he could go to

Kevin's reaction when the feds caught up to him in the last episode

 

[gho3st]

What was Sally's relationship with Roy Gilbert?

Yeah
This is starting to become a trend with these shows now
Muthafukkas just dont know when to say when

 

[Alfred0Santana]

Switched over from HOC and 2 episodes in this season and it's already better. . I'm out though I can see spoiler tags is not being used in here

 

[theworldismine13]

Rayburn's = shytheads

This show is great tho

So Eric just gave up in his life when John rolled up on him working the side of the road. That part made no sense. I'll spend my life in jail but forget it, i don't care?

Why didn't anyone during the trial suspect Kevin killed Marco?!?! Their logical conclusion was Meg dropped off Kevin, but came inside killed Marco then shot her own brother? THats their best theory?No one asked Kevin why he was even there when he was on the stand. Didn't Eric suspect John killed Danny from last season? Why didn't he say anything? Eric didn't have anyone who could account for his whereabouts? When Danny was killed wasn't Eric out of town? How could what John said on the stand about why Eric was contacting Marco make any sense?

I know Sally was having a breakdown but how was John responsible for Sarah's death? Also how the fukk could they be mad at her when they keep killing people. Wtf did they expect? That woman lost everything and buried her kids and husband.

So was one of the kids a product of an affair between sally and Gilbert? Is Kevin his?

gilberts death happened too quickly. Don't fully understand his plot line. It felt like they needed a quick exit for the storyline.

Did they catch Kevin and belle at the end? Why the hell did they do all that and belle left her gps on lol

They talked about a plot line with a rebellious Janie, cut to a shot of her talking about meeting up with a boy...and it turned out to be her cousin? The way they scripted that made it look like she had a relationship with Nolan. They never again mentioned any boys or bad behavior except with her riding in the car with the girl with the hook ups. Was anyone else confused by this

Maybe it's just me but I don't blame Papa Rayburn for beating teenage Danny. He took Sarah out on a boat without parental supervision and she died. How could he not feel angry about that. They have those rules for exactly that reason!

Who the fukk approved those last 2 episodes.

It's like they had completely different writers and producers
