i'm too lazy to look to see if it's been mentioned already, and i know i'm late to the table on this, but i've been completely sucked into Bloodline the past couple of weeks...fucking Florida man...
I’ve ranted on bloodline so many times on how great it is… incredibly underrated. Great intro song, writing, acting. Ben Mendelsohn’s best work IMO.
Couldn't agree more. Beautiful setting too. Also can't believe Kevin did that! Starting season 3. Fucking Florida Man
it's good to see the Bloodline love...and season 3 is hectic. funny you mention the setting, because as beautiful as the keys and that part of Florida is, i think the filmmakers are doing some compelling things with how precarious and impermanent all of that part of the country is too and is going to be...like all of those aerial tracking shots where it will cut from some crazy stressful shit going down in the story, right to a character driving (often Kyle Chandler's character, John) alone on some fucked stretch of highway on stilts over an ocean that is inevitably going to take all of that shit back. i know they're meant to be kind of interludes, but in my eyes, those aerial shots of lone cars driving over water on those stretches of highway do a lot to mirror the general feelings of precariousness, isolation, impermanence, and anxiety that permeate the series.
in a series that is so much about the perhaps futility of families seeking familial immortality, as it were, impermanence and precariousness radiating from the fucking landscape just seems to amplify how fucked things are for the Rayburn family as things unravel, and of course for anyone who has the misfortune to get tangled up with them...
