It is a new series drawn from more complex challenges from secrets, lies and murder. In the second season, Rayburns struggles to hide an unimaginable crime and begin to collapse. It seems that everyone is still in the midst of growing lies, betrayal and perpetual insanity.
At 10 episodes, season two should have had a tighter storyline, but what we got instead was a long, drawn out plot that at times seemed to make up mysteries on the spot in an effort to be just as mysterious as the first season.

The show's darker tone gives its powerhouse cast more to play with. The Rayburns are no longer just a family with a difficult brother, or good people who did a bad thing. Maybe they're much, much worse.
Well, that's that. The second season of Bloodline is officially a disappointment. Despite strong performances throughout, this year's story never felt as confident as the first.
Guilt, paranoia, and mystery are all on center stage during the season's opening hour... the necessary elements to once again hook viewers on the story of truly dysfunctional Rayburn family.
Everything is framed with such purpose, imbued with meaning and mood. The gorgeous cinematography of Bloodline is one thing that keeps season two looking and feeling like season one.
