Will Harris do what’s right in the first season of the American Rust TV show on Showtime? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like American Rust is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustrated when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the first season episodes of American Rust here. *Status Update Below.
A Showtime family drama series, the American Rust TV show is based on the novel by Philipp Meyer and stars Jeff Daniels, Maura Tierney, Bill Camp, David Alvarez, Alex Neustaedter, Julia Mayorga, Mark Pellegrino, and Rob Yang. A story of survival and transcendence, it’s told through the eyes of Del Harris (Daniels). He’s the complicated (and compromised) chief of police of a Pennsylvania Rust Belt town that’s full of good people making bad choices. When news of the murder of an ex-cop rips through the town, Harris must decide what lengths he is willing to take to protect Billy Poe (Neustaedter), the son of Grace (Tierney), the woman he loves.

Great show. Could not believe that episode 9 was the last show for season 1.
Too many unanswered questions THIS SHOW MUST COMEBACK
Loved American Rust, please renew!
Please renew, it was powerful and haunting. loved the lighting as it conveyed the desperation and loss rampant in the whole town.
Love the series. Love the multi story line that keep it interesting and you get to know a fuller story rather than being centered around only 1 character. Not meandering as 1 review stated. Acting is great..Just pure gritty great!!!!!!
Renew American Rust , Good Show.
TV Time lists “American Rust” as finished. I find that hard to believe after the explosive episode 9. I find it even harder to believe that episode 9 was the final episode of the season while leaving so many areas left for exploration. What gives Showtime?
GOD PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL AMERICAN RUST!! I AM HOOKED AND SO BEYOND FRUSTRATED THAT IT ENDED THE WAY IT DID! IF THERE IS NOT ANOTHER SEASON THAT WOULD NOT BE RIGHT AT ALL!!
Disappointed in finale. Too easy, and not clarified. Will not watch again.
Please renew!
American Rust is the only reason we have not yet canceled our subscription to Showtime.
Please renew American Rust! We love the series!
I absolutely LOVE this series with an Excellent cast!! Plz renew! Now that a handful of the characters have a story. There are SOO many more that could be explored with all characters.
I hope American Rust gets renewed. We have really enjoyed it
We love American Rust and want to see more series of it…
Jeff Daniels & Marie Tierney are strong characters, but the plot is slow & tedious when they are not on screen. Hope it gets better, reminds me of Mare of Eastown last year.
its a great series and it ends season 1 with lots of questions to be answered
