US: Bloodline

[C.R.A.Z.Y]

Anyone else watching this new netflix release?

Just finished the 2nd episode and although the script has a few weak / cheesy points it's pretty intriguing and well acted overall. Will be able to get a better feel and opinion after a few more episodes.

What do you guys think?

What's it about? A precis of the show might be useful

A family of adult siblings whose secrets and scars are revealed when their black sheep brother returns home.

Don't like the camera work in a fair few scenes - uses some kind of stylised "hand cam" effect that with the overly smoothed movement spline and somewhat variable effective framerate due to it struggling with fast motion is quite nauseating even though I don't generally suffer motion sickness.

The story alternates between intriguing and downright boring - half the time feels like they used it as an excuse to holiday in a hot location and randomly shot some meaningless scenes other times has a fair bit of substance.

thanks wont bother in the slightest

I've added it to my list, but there's so much else to watch I'll have a look when I'm bored.

I'm quite enjoying it... But I am from South Florida so enjoy seeing the scenery on the screen. Looking forward to watching episode three, as soon as i can get the kids off to bed !!!!!

I'm up to episode 8, a slow burner for sure but it gets more intriguing by the week.

It's really good, blitzed through it in about 2 weeks. Very slow start as already mentioned but really takes time with characterisation and back story. Bendelsohn is excellent as he is in everything he does.

Agreed perfectly cast !

Another +1 from me on this. Slow burn and then it really hooks you in. Pretty good how Danny Rayburn becomes the almost perfect villain. Enjoyed this one

Finished it last night and thought it was excellent with some fantastic characterisation . Series 2 has been commissioned and due for release next year.

I like the slow pace of it, some of the camera work makes me feel sea sick.

I watched the first EP. Didn't like the family much, found it kinda slow, so gave up.

Watching the 3rd and final series now....it's very good. First season was good in it's own right, I thought it was going to just finish and be a one off actually...Second season basically fills out the plot and characters. Third season weaves it all together to a conclusion ( I hope)

Easily my favourite Netflix Original series. One of the best dramas for years in general.

I finished the 3rd season last night, found it a bit slow and boring for the most part, with a couple good episodes.

 

[sith]

Thought this was excellent, loved all of it - including the slowness of it throughout. Fantastic characters.

Finished it now...was a little disappointed with the ending.

Spoiler

The penultimate episode weird amnesia stuff felt out of place and made the ending quite disjointed.

Felt a little bit like they didn't know whether they were getting another season or not until the end, so just wrapped it up quickly in the last two.

Really enjoyed it otherwise, I like a slow-burner.
