Get a closer look at Netflix’s latest thriller Bloodline

By Rick Marshall February 10, 2015

Netflix changed the world of streaming video when the company turned towards original programming, earning multiple Primetime Emmy nominations and awards for House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, and bringing some bankable legitimacy to the medium. The company’s latest endeavor to turn heads is a new drama/thriller called Bloodline, which debuted its first full trailer this week.

Created by Emmy-nominated writers/producers Todd A. Kessler, Daniel Zelman, and Glenn Kessler, who all worked on the hit series Damages, the new show follows several generations of a Florida family whose lives are thrown into disarray when eldest son Danny (Ben Mendelsohn) returns home and threatens to expose the family’s darkest secrets. Along with Mendelsohn, the series stars Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights), Linda Cardellini (Mad Men), Sam Shepard (The Right Stuff), and Sissy Spacek (Carrie).

The tagline for the series is appropriately cryptic: “We’re not bad people, but we did a bad thing.”

All 13 episodes of Bloodline will debut Friday, March 20, on Netflix, and will be made available in 4K.

Netflix also released a poster for the series, which you can check out below:

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)

A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now

Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
