I don't see much in the text of the review to justify a B.

Are we sure Marco is dead? Everyone thought Doug Stamper was dead when the same thing happened to him.

I still don't get the idea that every second most count in a long show. Surely a long run time allows for breathing room - establishing shots, scenery, etc. You wouldn't say every moment in a Terrence Malick film 'matters' - some of them are just pretty, or moody, whereas in a 22-minute sitcom, there's no room for

The Keys would seem to be a strange place to set a dark - literally dark - series. On a typical Keys day, the sun is blinding, the palms are blowing, and the ocean is a luminous turquoise. But in most scenes on this show, it's raining or night or both, or the sky is overcast. Notice the only scenes where it's actually

Again, this is the show NAILING what many (not all) Keys people are like. People move to the Keys to fish and drink and avoid child support. And people who grow up there do those same things.

I'm another who doesn't find the pacing too slow. Sure, the camera will linger on a character as they (generic, non-spoiler) realize there is yet another piece of evidence against them and ponder their (mostly terrible) decisions, but I still find it fascinating because THESE PEOPLE ARE GUILTY and it's a strange,

Having lived in the Florida Keys for several years, this show really nails what I used to call 'Salty Pirates' like Kevin and Eric O'Bannon. In real life, they aren't bad guys, they're just aimless, and the Keys have a very high tolerance for aimlessness. But 90% of these guys look EXACTLY like those two, down to a T.

People behave 'out of character' for no obvious reason all the time - that's what causes drama, and what makes drama on TV watchable. But I guess if you thought a great show like Breaking Bad was ruined, you won't find anything to like in a merely good show like Bloodline.
