The first season received positive reviews from many critics, with most critics praising its performances (particularly for Ben Mendelsohn and Kyle Chandler) and cinematography. However, the second season received a mixed response from critics.
The series begins with an eerie narration by John Rayburn: "Sometimes you know something’s coming. You can feel it. In the air. In your gut. And you don’t sleep at night. The voice in your head is telling you that something is going to go terribly wrong and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. That’s how I felt when my brother came home."
Danny Rayburn returns home to Monroe County, Florida for the 45th anniversary of his parents' Robert and Sally Rayburn's seaside hotel, The Rayburn House – a pier will be dedicated in their honor to mark the occasion. Danny is the black sheep of the family, with a poor reputation amongst them, including his three younger siblings: John, Kevin, and Meg. John is a detective with the local sheriff's office, Kevin owns a local marina, and Meg is an attorney with a local law firm. Danny wants to make his return permanent as he wishes to stay to help his parents at their Inn. Robert is reluctant to let Danny stay, but leaves it up to the three siblings to decide Danny's fate. The siblings decide against Danny staying as they conclude that he will only break Sally's heart in the end. John decides to break the news to Danny, but lies to him by telling him it was their father who wanted him gone, rather than the siblings. Ultimately Danny does not leave, despite allowing John to take him back to the bus stop. Danny's dysfunctional relationship with his father inadvertently causes Robert to have mini-strokes and eventually leads to his death.
