JOE meets Kyle Chandler and Ben Mendelsohn, stars of new Netflix hit Bloodline

A super pair of sound men... and JOE

JOE

Say goodbye to your friends and family, it’s time to lock yourself away and binge your life away…

You can forget about House Of Cards, Orange Is The New Black and Marco Polo, because we’re about to introduce you to your new favourite Netflix Original Series, Bloodline.

Trust us, we’ve had a sneak peek at the first few episodes and we’re already hooked.

Bloodline is a new thriller drama set in the sticky, murky marshlands of the Florida Keys and tells the tale of the Rayburns, a successful local family who’s world is turned upside down AND back to front AND inside out when the black sheep of the family returns home.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

Bloodline is available to view on Netflix right now and the good news is you’ll be able to watch all 13 episodes of the dark, deadly drama in one binge-tastic sitting.

To celebrate the release of the new Netflix series, we sent Eoghan Doherty along to meet the superdeedooper sound stars of the show, Kyle Chandler and Ben Mendelsohn, and he also caught up with the big brain behind the whole thing, Bloodline creator Todd Kessler.

In true Troy McClure style, you might know the all-American Kyle Chandler from The Wolf Of Wall Street, Super 8 and, of course, he famously played inspirational Coach Taylor in the much-loved Friday Night Lights.

Ben Mendelsohn, however, most likely haunted your dreams following his crackin’ creepy performances in Animal Kingdom and The Dark Knight Rises, but we’ll always have a soft spot for him as Warren in Neighbours.

All manner of topics are covered in the chats below, such as just how hard it is to be good at bad dancing, we get the two actors to describe each others’ characters in an AMAZING twist, and the talented trio are subjected to the… drum roll please… JOE Tombola of Truth.

They’re not bad people, they just did a bad thing.
