Bloodline (TV Series) Part 20 (2016) User Reviews

"What you've done... could destroy us"

[gplusr · 10/10 · 29 May 2016]

What a brilliant episode, an amazing performance by Jacinda Barrett and an even more amazing one by Kyle Chandler, their chemistry on screen as a troubled couple shines through an amazing discovery, with Diana connecting all the dots from what John said before.

Meg and Kevin are investigated by Marco and the questioning has an unexpected turn of events that might lead to more resolution on the real story behind what happened with Danny.

Ozzy seems more determined than ever to bring down all John's defenses as he approaches Meg on the campaign office to tell her a piece of his mind.

The Rayburn ground seems to be shaking more and more after every episode, and an "earthquake" is certainly about to happen on their lives.

Melodrama

[dierregi · 3/10 · 19 February 2022]

Bloodline has officially entered melodrama territory. What was an intriguing - albeit slow and badly edited - tale about siblings' rivalry is now a predictable Southern family tragedy, but unfortunately more Douglas Sirk than Tennessee Williams.

Lacking the annoying but indispensable negative character of Danny, the writers introduced nonetheless three previously unseen despicable characters (Nolan, Eve and Ozzy) which is playing dirty, because there was no mention of any of them in the whole first series.

Not only the three nasties don't make up for the lone Danny, but also spoiled teenager Janey is turning against her family, thinking that she knows better, like all arrogant tennagers do.

BTW, why Janey's parents don't tell her what happened to Sara and her necklace, to make the extent of the menace clear? That is the one event that's not a secret. Also, explaining that Danny was involved with drug dealers and people's traffickers maybe would help...
