Get a closer look at Netflix’s latest thriller Bloodline

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:

The Resident is a hit on Netflix now. Watch these 3 great shows that are just like it
Three doctors talk to each other in The Resident.

For all of its gloss and sheen, one of the things that sets The Resident apart is its willingness to showcase some of the harsher realities of American healthcare. On The Resident, medicine is both the work of treating patients and a business, and it's that balance that makes the show so compelling.

If you've already worked your way through every available episode of The Resident now that the show is streaming on Netflix, though, you may be looking for some other great medical dramas that work in a similar mode. Lucky for you, we've found three such shows that break the mold, in one or another, for what shows about doctors can look like.

Why is this obscure 2022 Mel Gibson thriller so popular on Netflix right now?
Mel Gibson in On the Line.

The Netflix effect has struck again. Out of nowhere, the unheralded 2022 thriller On the Line has leaped to the No. 2 slot on the list of the most popular movies on Netflix. That's above recent Netflix originals like Damsel, Irish Wish, and Shirley. On the Line has even helped bump The Super Mario Bros. Movie out of Netflix's top five films, which hasn't happened in a long time.

What's bringing viewers in for On the Line? It's a Mel Gibson movie that the vast majority of Netflix subscribers probably never heard about prior to this past weekend. Gibson is also by far the most recognizable name in the cast, with Kevin Dillon in a distant second thanks to his stint as Johnny "Drama" Chase on HBO's Entourage. Romuald Boulanger wrote and directed On the Line, and the film's newfound popularity on Netflix has saved it from obscurity.
