Updated: Netflix Series ‘Bloodline’ a Textbook Lesson in the Generational Curse

Updated Ezekiel Diet Note: I added the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth paragraph after finishing this series.  I recommend this series for a good Bible study to understand the generational curse, its cause, effects, and solution.

I didn’t fully understand the generational curse until I was almost 60 years old. Now I see it everywhere. Especially in Hollywood productions. I  know I shouldn’t waste time watching Netflix. But I try to get together with the other half every night to watch a movie or series together. Right now we’re watching a textbook example of a generational curse in the Netflix series titled Bloodline. If you haven’t watched it already it’s 3 seasons of how a generational curse destroys an otherwise reputable, smart, good looking, godless family. In fact the tagline to Bloodline could be: Lie, Kill, Steal, & Destroy. The Satanic Directive.

Robert and Sally run this beach Inn for almost 50 years and have five generational cursed children; John, Sarah, Meg, Kevin, and Danny, the black sheep of the family. You have to pay attention in the first season after Robert Rayburn dies of a heart attack on the beach. His experience growing up with an abusive father with an anger problem, general godless, and cursed life comes out. Here you start to see Robert is part of a generational curse who has now passed it on to five children who are living out their own drama-filled curses. At one point in the third season Sally even confesses to a Catholic priest she believes her children are cursed. So typical I thought, the masses live and die and never figure out this generational curse problem and solution.

The church is brought up only a few quick times, always Catholic and pushing confession to a priest extra-biblical nonsense.  The original CIA. I think in order to sell this series about a Biblical problem they had to sell the Catholic church as the solution. Another lie.

Kevin’s mother-in-law insists their new baby should be baptized by the church, Kevin comments “we didn’t grow with that in our life, and don’t see it as necessary.” Never realizing it could have been the answer to all of their problems. It’s so like non-believers in America who never even consider a better, easier way. Pay attention parents. Later Kevin baptizes his cursed baby himself with beer on his forehead.

I also thought it was interesting how the series always made the low-life characters cigarette smokers, often with one hanging from their mouth, eye’s squinting from smoke, in the I’m so sleazy look.

Everyone in the series was always pouring a 2 finger whiskey or tequila drink, or holding a beer bottle. It was like no one could interact without a drink or a line of coke. But this also brainwashes all who watch it that this is normal behavior.

Since I’ve figured out the generational curse I’ve also come to understand that no amount of fame, fortune, or reputation can outrun the consequences of a generational curse. Sooner or later God’ll cut you down.

A personal relationship with Jesus Christ breaks the curse and cuts all that past generational sin loose. But this is rare. Most people are too caught up in their own perceived goodness to need a savior; including most Christians.

Maybe Netflix isn’t all bad if you can turn these expensive productions into an entertaining Bible lesson.
