TV show description:
This dramatic series revolves around a well-to-do Boston family. They are reeling in the wake of the chilling discovery that someone in their midst may be a serial killer.
Very successful patriarch Mitchell Hawthorne (Jamey Sheridan) runs a local concrete company and is married to Madeline (Virginia Madsen). They are both very conscious of society and the importance of maintaining appearances.
Following an accident at the construction company, evidence is revealed that links the family to an infamous murderer, dubbed the Silver Bells Killer.
Their Hawthorne’s eldest daughter, Alison Hawthorne-Price (Juliet Rylance), sits on the city council and has decided to run for mayor.
A successful syndicated cartoonist, brother Cam (Justin Chatwin) has a son named Jack (Gabriel Bateman) and they have distanced themselves from Cam’s troubled ex-wife, Sophie (Stephanie Leonidas).
Daughter Tessa (Megan Ketch) is married to a Boston police detective, Brady Ross (Elliot Knight). He’s investigating newly discovered evidence in the serial-murder case.
Prodigal son Garrett (Antony Starr) reappears after 14 years away. That’s about how long it’s been since the Silver Bells Killer last claimed a victim.
As shocking secrets from the past and present are revealed, the family’s mounting suspicion and paranoia threatens to tear them apart.

What do you think? Do you like the American Gothic TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Love the show and cast. Hopefully it will be renewed
renew the show its the best one on the tv. great acting and very suspenseful can hardly wait for wednesdays
renew show very good acting and suspenseful should bring out a little more with the son of cam make him a real animal killer that is the way a serial killer starts and Cam should show his serial killer side
I have watched the show since the first episode.and enjoy it. Very suspenseful, and good acting. Look forward to each new episode! Renew!
Love this show. One of the few series I’m committed to watching. Please renew for season 2!
Love the show – best new one of the season in my opinion.
Really like this show! Better than a lot of the crap that’s currently on TV. Good characters, plot is interesting. Not a lot like this currently on TV but there should be
Renew for another season. Excellent story. Suspenseful and full of drama. I like to see a story beginning with the mother’s background and possibly see where Jack’s odd behaviors take him.
Initially, I didn’t know if I would like this show, but, as I have continued to watch, I find myself more drawn into this absolutely corrupt and creepy family. The kid Jake is clearly a budding psychopath. Very dark characters on this show, but sort of weirdly intriguing. Let me see how this proceeds and then I can more fully decide if I want it renewed.
This show sucks too. Cancel this and brain dead immediately.
Love this show! Please don’t cancel. It has everything-murder mystery, family stress, lots of suspense and great actors!
This show is great! A good love murder mystery and the talent plays it just right…. with all the trash on the tube I can only hope this show makes it. KD
This is one of the best shows on TV. It has everything, mystery, family connections, suspense and twists and turns in every episode. It’s great and should definetly be renewed!
<3 this show
try to watch the first episode if you can get it on demand or the network website
You need to watch from the beginning or you’ll be lost. Watch it, you’ll get hooked!
I really like this show, it’s not many shows like this one
I like. But, the actors just grab you and pull you in. Give the the show a chance, watch a episode and tell me what you think.Thank van
