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:

Anyone who has ever stumbled across something great on Netflix knows that the streaming service has plenty of great and unheralded shows worth checking out. If you've ever tried to blindly find those shows yourself, though, you may also be aware that there are lots of shows on Netflix that aren't really as good as they might seem.

Wading through this huge pile of content without any assistance can be difficult, to say the least, which is why we've taken the time to point out a few underrated shows that are worth investing your time in. These three shows may not be at the top of your Netflix recommendations, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth checking out.

This underrated 2019 action movie is a big hit on Netflix now. Here’s why you need to watch it

Sasha Luss in Anna.

If it seems like there's an unexpected champion on top of the list of Netflix's most popular movies every week, that's because there often is. There's always at least one film that comes out of nowhere and blows away the competition from both the major studios and Netflix itself. This week, that movie is Anna, a 2019 action thriller from writer/director Luc Besson that bombed during its initial run in theaters. But when has that ever stopped Netflix users from embracing a flick?

One of the big reasons why Anna failed to connect with audiences the first time is that Lionsgate dropped Anna in theaters with little fanfare, so it wasn't surprising when people simply didn't show up to see it. Now that the film is enjoying a surge of popularity, it's time to go over the four reasons why you should watch Anna on Netflix.

The best new shows to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Max (HBO), and more

Riley Keough and Lily Gladstone in Under the Bridge.

Hulu is the MVP in this week's streaming race, thanks to the premiere of its new true crime drama Under the Bridge. Not to be outdone, Max has the debut of Conan O'Brien Must Go, in addition to a new episode of Robert Downey Jr.'s wild new miniseries The Sympathizer, which will premiere a fresh episode on Sunday, April 21.

Prime Video may have released every episode of Fallout season 1 last week, but it earned the show a fast renewal. So feel free to catch up on that series, as well as Apple TV+'s Franklin, which is continuing with a new episode this week. And April still has a few more original shows to premiere before we get to May.
