Welcome to the full-spoiler discussion page for Season 2 of Netflix's Bloodline. This is for those who've watched all ten episodes of the second season and want to read my thoughts about plot specifics or comment down below about the finale or any other spoiler-ific aspect of the show.
Not that the Season 2 finale didn't land well, but one of the big hindrances to Season 2 was us knowing ahead of time that someone in John's way was going to die. We didn't know who'd bite the dust (though Marco and Eric were at the top of the list) and we didn't know who'd be doing the killing, but we knew it was coming.

Wayne's death, at the end of Episode 4 was a sort of neat, bow-on-top happenstance. John was cornered and was about to bear the brunt of all the consequences and then the universe saved him. But we knew something else had to give because his decision to run for sheriff actively kept Danny's case open (at first for political reasons and then for actual reasons). And so the season remained about the Rayburn's big lie. Which meant that another huge line had to be crossed.
