I was avoiding this one, but I finally gave it a try because of Coach Taylor. If you haven't finished the season, you will not be disappointed. Probably the strongest Netflix original to date.

It's already out? Didn't look interesting at all when I was sorting though the pilots. Didn't even watch. figured they would all take 10-18 months to get them all out.

I'm still waiting for my PKD fix with Man in the High Castle. That pilot was amazing and I read all of the PKD books in college.

Bloodline is Netflix. Don't think they did the same thing with this show as Amazon is doing with their pilots. It has Sissy Spacek in it, so I assume they commited to the show up front.

I agree about Man in the High Castle. I think it was the only Amazon pilot I watched, and it was really good. I haven't read the book, so it really hurt when the pilot ended and I knew I would have to wait to see what happens next. I have become pathetically addicted to binge watching. I hate waiting a week now.

Oops, I must have confused it with Mad Dogs or one of the other pilots.

It's not rare for me to catch myself checking my phone or something during most TV shows.. I did so many, many times during the season 5 premier of Game of Thrones.. but not during Bloodline. It is riveting television.

My fear is it will only last two seasons. There is a lot of resolution at the end of the first. You can see where they will go with the second, but anything after might end up a bit forced, like the latest season of House of Cards.
