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?
Please don’t I repeat do not take this show off the air! It’s the first real suspenseful show since 24 with Keiffer Sutherland. During the summer people don’t watch tv like in the winter. This show is great, wonderful cast, everyone is made for their part, great actors, well written. Just keep it on the air, rerun the whole first episode and then start the new episodes.
Definitely a good show, hope it’s not cancelled
, great show never know what’s going to happen next it is so interesting great actors great scenes great story great suspense trying to figure it out it’s just so hard we need more shows like this
I would like to see it end. I started watching it with the premise that it would be a 13 episode series only.
I am expecting to find out who the killer is by the 13th episode. If it does not happen, I will feel that I wasted 13 hours of mu time.
It is not a good show, the acting is quite bad, and I only kept watching because it was a murder mystery, and we do not get any murder mysteries on our regular channel.
I’d like to see it end. Why? I miss the mini-series. The TV show that ran for 6 or 8 episodes. I thought American gothic was to be only a few episodes and end. I can’t say enough about the acting and plot twists, but there are so many stories out there waiting to be told. Give us fresh!!
Should be renewed for years. Keeps your interest from week to week.
Definitely – SHOULD BE RENEWED! Love this show.
Finally a real adult ‘whodunit’. We find the to be excellent in their roles. Household of two-age 86 and 68..we are addicted to this show. The writing is suburb-twists and turns never stop. Please keep this show or if it is a short series-come up with another issue for this family and give us season 2,3,4 etc
Have found it very interesting. A good whodunit?
An awesome show for intelligent audiences. Please renew this show for many more seasons. The acting by the entire cast is superb as well as the writing. All of them are cast perfectly. I get excited when It’s about to come on and anxious at the end of every show to see the next one! 5 Star show!!
awesome show for intelligent audiences. please keep this show running. the acting by the entire cast is superb. All of them are cast perfectly.
Love this show. Just when you think you have figured it out, there’s another twist in the storyline. Please renew this show. We need more tv like this and less so called reality crap
It’s GREAT, bring on a second season please!
I love it. Please renew.
American Gothic, should renew. It’s one the newest thrillers. I hear people talk about sex scenes, I just fast forward it. If we were to complain about scenes like that than we would be only watching Cartoons. We are adults and we need to get over it.
