    Feels like I'm watching an old episode of Dallas. With that whole rich family and "Who Shot JR" sort of theme. I was expecting something much darker story wise than that. :/

    [A] glacially paced yawn of a yarn. [27 Jun - 10 Jul 2016, p.15]

    A lack of originality isn’t its only weakness. Overacting--and at least one abysmal attempt at a Boston accent--results in a soapy atmosphere. This isn’t necessarily a problem, but it becomes one as the series fails to grasp its tone.

    American Gothic is about a bunch of good actors who got suckered into a really bad series.
