But at season 1 ep10 stuff finally starts getting intense.

I haven't finished it yet but I'm finally hooked

Season 1 is great, but be prepared for disappointment - Season 2 is solid but not as good, and the final season is guttertrash which you should avoid at all costs.

This is why I prefer mini series. Starts with the intention of ending shortly

That's how I felt. I wouldn't say that season 3 should be avoided, but it's a huge disappointment.

Bigger than the end of prison break season 2?

I don't remember Prison Break that wall so I can't comment on that. But the third season of Bloodline is a drag. It's worth watching if you like the show, but I can't say that it is a satisfying ending to the show.

Prison break should have ended on season 2. Everything tied up nicely at the end, every problem resolved and then, they added a plot twist clearly to allow to further extend a story that had reached it's natural end. It was so bitter for me

Just finished watching season 2 and I'm glad I did, to me it was just as good as season 1, going full steam to season 3 now 👍👍👍

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll be interested to hear what you think of season 3 once you finish it.

Just finished watching season 3

Spoilers ahead

It ended the way I was expecting it too, open to discussion. I believe that given John's atitude during the whole show, I'm guessing he was about to maintain the lie further.

That being said I think the show displayed very well the relentless crumbling of the Rayburn family and the ever present weight of their evil deeds.

There was a little bit of David Lynch moments in season 3 which I don't think fit into the show very well, ie the episode where John seems to be looping or iterating through multiple realities, the message was clear, he was living a lie and everything around him, the truth, was closing in on him.

All said and done, the show has a slow pace, takes its time and by season 3 you get kind of tired of the characters and places. Still a good watch, I liked it, didn't love it, would recommend if you like shows like "the wire"
