Speaking with IGN and a number of other media outlets while taking part in the Television Critics Association press tour this week, the creators of Bloodline talked about the upcoming show and following up their previous hit, Damages, with a Netflix Original.
"Comparing it to Damages, our desire in storytelling is to have nuanced, character‑driven drama and that unfolds from episode to episode," co-creator Todd Kessler said this week. "And so to know that we had 13 and to feel the support of Netflix to have it air on ‑‑ you know, have it be streamed on Netflix where people can binge-watch and watch one right after the other really opened up for us, as storytellers, a whole new level of nuance and passion from us."
Glenn Kessler then gave a brief synopsis of the show, that should help new viewers understand what to expect going into the first season.
"This is a story about a family who at this point in their lives, in middle age or approaching middle age, their roles are changing, and cracks start to happen," he explained. "This is the kind of motor behind the thriller elements of the story."
