    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The show is based on a Turkish show called Suskunlar, that in English translate to Game of Silence, i have to say i saw the Turkish version, so i know what this show is about, have to say that obvious in Turkey the show was even more dark. I saw the 1st episode, there was somethings that i didn`t liked, but were not enough to pay them attention. So in my opinion is a show worth seeing.… Expand

    Love this show. Excellent cast. Absorbing story line. No other show like it on tv. Very surprised over the low ratings. Sincerely hope NBC renews it for a second season.

    Calm down StaceyJo - Texas does indeed have unions. It's a right to work state BUT Unions do exist just as in every other state that are classified "right to work"

    The plot is hardly "ridiculous". If you feel that strongly then don't watch it

    Texas is a non union state. The plot is RIDICULOUS. There is no running the unions in Texas. The Trailer park neighborhood is typical insult hurled in "film" I really wanted to like this, but there are no quarries in Houston. The nearest one would have to be in the area that starts having rocks.

    The action moves fast and the story lines keep you guessing! The women of the show are strong and seem to contain as many secrets as there male counterparts. As the story unfolds I get the feeling that there are darker secrets that what we're first led to believe

    Game Of Silence is awesome..it's just starting to get really good. Things like this do happen.. To some user critics..Not all shows are true to fact..they are meant for entertainment..my thought is you live in Texas in trailer park. All states have trailer parks!! For God's sake...Enjoy the show...Don't cancel it!

    Yes, this is a show about vengeance; these men need to avenge their destroyed childhoods. Most importantly, this is a show about friendship and family. These characters support one another through each crisis and bombshell. They take care of each other. They face the darkness head on and are slowly finding that there is hope. The past does not have to dictate the future. A second chance isYes, this is a show about vengeance; these men need to avenge their destroyed childhoods.

    I want to know why know why this show was one of the ones to be cancelled?? I beg the producers to fight for this show to be resigned even if you have to move networks. This was a great show and have potential to be better than season 1. Lets make this happen!! i can name some other shows that can be cancelled !!!!!!!

    This show is extremely suspenseful and keeps you entertained and wanting more. My boyfriend and I love this show and it is our one show that we watch together and that I can get him to sit down with me and watch. This is wonderful and needs to be renewed for more seasons!

    Game of Silence is an awesome show! The cast is fantastic, and you never what's going to happen next with these characters. I've been hooked from the first episode. This show deserves a second season! Bring back Game of Silence!

    The villains are comically hissable, making this too-familiar Game regrettable missable. [18 Apr-1 May 2016, p.19]

    Frankly, based on two episodes, Game of Silence doesn't seem to be worth the effort required to sort out its twisted plotting. However, it's clearly the kind of show that could suck in viewers who enjoy trying to solve a TV mystery, the more twisted the better.

    Game of Silence is a show that's almost non-stop plot, but it's plagued by inconsistency that makes nearly every beat clunkier than it needs to be.
