    Aguirre doesn't know or even suspect that John killed Danny, don't think his first reaction is going to be blaming John especially when it was a crime of passion. Guessing a lot of season 3 is going to be John getting blackmailed by Beau Bridges and him trying to get out of that some way

    Then you got the Sally likely knowing what happened now

    It's not going to be a happy ending but doubt we see anything drastic for a bit. Kevin getting busted right away doesn't make sense since there's no way it's believable for his character to not snitch on Meg and John

    this is kind of a weird show because there isn't a character I'm cheering for. John/Meg/Kevin all pretty much suck and Danny was a shit head too so it's hard to pull for any of the Rayburn kids. There really aren't any other characters outside that group that I like either. I guess I like Eric/Chelsea but they aren't really central figures. Marco was okay until the last three episodes when you seemingly flipped a switch and started hating the Rayburn's. Really strange show in that regard

    I'm pretty interested to see how they develop Gilbert's involvement (management?) of the drug trafficking ring now that he knows John killed Danny. He's probably going to continue using Kevin and his boat yard and then use John to keep him clean on the law enforcement side

    just finished...

    This is something I caught too - at least I think I did. There's no explanation for it, but John definitely appears to know about Marco's deal before he has heard it from Meg *or* the ex-wife.

    miscelaneous other thoughts:
    I think the comments about John as a sort of Walter White are pretty apt, particularly as the head of a conspiracy, and leading a double-life where the law is always on your heels even though you are in plain sight and close to everybody pursuing you. Breaking Bad got kind of tedious for me after a while because the suspension of disbelief required to continue believing in Walter's ability to avoid getting busted became rather burdensome, and I felt some of that watching s2 of bloodline as well.

    One of the things that annoyed me about the season was the "should Jon run for sheriff" question. At a certain point Jon makes the argument to Meg that if he becomes sheriff he can "control things" but that really isn't ever true because of the nature of the O'bannon and Ozzy components, and especially the fact that the tape is "out there" somewhere. The decision to run is a stupid one, and was always going to turn up the heat and increase the pressure on the family - but that's probably the whole point, as John feels the need to make the name count.

    Comments about Kevin being a dipshit "this season" are funny because he's kind of always been a dipshit. He was just as annoying in S1.

    Nolan was angsty and whatever, but I didn't mind him that much, especially as more of his story was told. I found him fairly sympathetic as his bitchy exterior faded away.

    Always like Leguizamo. Thought he did well as the pest here.

    Three of my favorite scenes were led by Diana, which I guess means I quite like her character at this point. I loved her confrontation with Sally after Sally slapped the shit out of Jane. More than that I thought that scene in her bedroom with Jane, who has been searching John's closet for the necklace was fucking great. Loved watching her work through the logic right in front of her kid and the way her eyes lit up as she realized what she was saying. And then finally the confrontation between Diana and John... that was a completely different John, totally dead to rights and stopped in his tracks and he is terrified of his wife, and her knowledge in that moment. Loved that.

    Wife and I binge watched it over the last week. Halfway through season 2. Almost turned it off after ep 2 but stuck with it bc my wife's boss is watching so she wanted to get into it. Really like it now. Ep 11 was intense as fuck at the end when he had her on the boat. That was quality entertainment.

    Rumors are out there that this won't get a Season 3 due to its high costs and low ratings.

    So who saves shows that Netflix cancels?

    Probably makes me a psychopath but I laughed pretty good when Kevin bashed Marco's face in with a phallic dolphin paperweight. Any chance they try to make Kevin a scapegoat? Everybody is so hateable, still cheering for John even though it will eventually go down in flames. They are clearly going to make Nolan and Eve the lovable characters?

    only thing i didn't get was when jon has obannon in the room tied to the chair with a gun. then a light bulb goes off in jons head and he almost smiles. he leaves the key to dannys apartment in miami on the floor and then just leaves obannon in the room. what was the deal with that. i dont know how much significance there was to obannon saying "anything to save the rayburn name" or something along those lines. also jon is driving to miami at the end of the show i think, or he's leaving the keys.

    The end is near for Bloodline.
    The third season of the twisted family drama starring Kyle Chandler will be its last on the streaming service. The Sony Pictures Television-produced series was renewed in July, shortly after the second season debuted on May 27. At the time, Netflix told The Hollywood Reporter that it would not be the final season.

    However, in an in-depth story on the inner workings of the streaming giant, THR exclusively revealed that Netflix had notified Sony that the upcoming season, set for 2017, would be the show's final outing on the platform. The streamer also cut the episode order from 13 episodes to 10, and slashed licensing fees on the show. Still, the two companies deny there are tensions between them. It's unclear whether Sony will try and shop future seasons of Bloodline elsewhere.

    Series creators and executive producers Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman and Glenn Kessler have said that they have a five- or six-season plan for the drama. "We're doing a TV series, so even in our own mind, we're asking ourselves, 'Does this series have seasons in it?' " Zelman told THR last year. "When we pitched it and we thought about it, we were thinking five to six seasons down the line because we wanted to make sure it could hold that much material. So we certainly have ideas for where everything could go and hopefully where everything will go."

    Prior to the renewal, a third season of Bloodline had been uncertain after Florida cut its entertainment tax incentives program, therefore making the series much more costly to produce. The Islamorada-based drama, along with Miami-set HBO football comedy Ballers, had grabbed the last of the available monies from the $300 million the Sunshine State had allocated for film and TV projects in 2010, allowing both shows to get through their second seasons with significant financial breaks. But with the incentives pot dry, season three of Bloodline will likely be a pricier undertaking.

    Todd A. Kessler, for his part, acknowledged the uncertainty of the show's future at the Los Angeles premiere of Bloodline's second season in early June. "Netflix is evaluating how it's doing for them and how it's performing, and are very hopeful that there will be a future as are we," he told THR, later adding that the series isn't just shot in the Keys because of financial enticements. "We decided to set the show there … because it's crucial to what the show is, not because of the tax incentive, but it does affect things financially for us and the show will be challenged because of that. It makes things more difficult."

    The cancelation marks a rare move for Netflix. Apart from axing the Norway crime drama Lilyhammer and the horror entry Hemlock Grove after each of their third seasons, the streaming platform has yet to cancel any of its other original series. Netflix's roster has grown significantly in the last three years, up from five original series in 2013 to nearly 30 and counting.
