The co-creators of Bloodline admitted to being frustrated by some of the critical response to their show.

Bloodline, one of the latest binge-worthy shows to come from Netflix, has received some positive reviews from critics but they have also gotten their fair share of negative responses. Co-creators Daniel Zelman and Todd Kessler spoke with Deadline recently about this issue and essentially chalked it up to not enough episodes being screened.

"One thing I read I found frustrating: After seeing three episodes (a critic wrote) a comment about the whole season that was so uninformed-the kind of things they said were only true of those first three episodes," Zelman said. "I'd be very interested to know what this person thought after they'd seen all of it."

Kessler believes that Netflix has learned its lesson about sending out too few screeners for critics. Since many Netflix shows are created in the "binge" format, they aren't necessarily well suited to be judged on an episode by episode basis.

"They realized after doing that and getting some very positive reviews, some mixed reviews and some reviews that were tentative-'let's see where it goes'-they should have sent out the whole thing," Kessler said. "If you were going to send out Fatal Attraction to be reviewed you wouldn't just send out the first 20 minutes. (When we were asked) what episodes would we like to send out in an Emmy mailer, we decided to send out the first two and the last two."

Reception has definitely been mixed on the Florida Keys drama so it remains to be seen if it will receive some good Emmy traction.

Bloodline season 1 is streaming currently on Netflix.
