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.

Bloodline unfolds like a good novel. It’s so well acted, that like a good book, it’s hard to stay away from it

At the outset, Bloodline doesn’t even make clear if anyone has been murdered, let alone who might be missing. But it does establish that it may be well worth waiting to find out.

The final episode contains clues and answers to mysteries that, when the season ends and you think about it, could easily have been introduced in the first or second episode without any diminishment of suspense--indeed, would probably have resulted in a pleasing increase in suspense. As a languid mood piece, Bloodline is one pleasantly decadent binge. And as I said, Chandler and Cardellini are particularly effective.

Bloodline creates a unique, insular world, but also one without the heartbeat that gave life to its alt-world, comedic brother [Arrested Development]. Rarely do we escape the distinctly depressed insular universe of the Reynolds' family, making for an experience both intoxicating and claustrophobic.

The season feels like a dull, overlong epilogue, creeping along where it needs to be sprinting. If you think a slow-motion car crash is hard to watch, try watching the slow-motion clean-up.

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.

So so well done, wish Netflix advertised some of these shows a bit better. This is a fantastic series. Great cast, no weak link. Acting is soooo believable that you forget you are watching tv, great cinematography, camera shots and movements just create a realistic shots, making me feel like you are there right next to the actors watching them interact.
Great writing, slow and steady story telling which allows the character buildup, tension also builds up slowly. I won’t spoil it, let’s just say I am going to rewatch just to appreciate the acting!!! Must must watch series
