TV show description:
This thriller TV show is based on the Turkish television series titled Suskunlar and revolves around friendship, love, revenge and the moral dilemma of how far one will go in the pursuit of justice.
In the series, five best friends have a dark secret they thought was buried 25 years ago, but they soon discover that they can’t hide their past forever.
Jackson Brooks (David Lyons) is a successful attorney who seems to have it all. He’s engaged to his boss, Marina (Claire van der Boom), and he’s on the fast track to becoming partner at his firm. His world is turned upside down when his long-lost childhood friends unexpectedly reappear after 25 years.
Years ago, Jackson, Gil Harris (Michael Raymond-James), Shawn Cook (Larenz Tate), and Boots (Derek Phillips) always stuck together, like brothers. They spent their boyhood summers in the small town of Dalton, Texas, swimming in the quarry, shooting bottle rockets and doing everything they could to mine the fun out of small-town life.
But their idyllic world turned chaotic one fateful summer afternoon. A well-intentioned and heroic attempt to save their friend Jessie West (Bre Blair) from her alcoholic mother ultimately cost the 13-year-old boys nine months at Quitman Youth Detention Facility. Their lives were changed forever.
Now 25 years later, the nightmare of the worst nine months of their lives has resurfaced. A mystery even deeper than their buried past is uprooted. The brotherhood must now band together to right the wrongs of their shared past. It’s a journey that will push the limits of their loyalty and ignite in them an unquenchable thirst for revenge.
Other characters include Detective Liz Winters (Deidrie Henry), Warden Ray Carroll (Conor O’Farrell) and Terry Bausch (Demetrius Grosse).
Episode #10 — She Sang Hymns Out of Tune
The group pull together for their final chance at vengeance and no one emerges unscathed.
First aired: June 5, 2016.
What do you think? Do you like the Game of Silence TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Game of Silence should not be cancelled! Finally a new show with a different plot, not the usual medical, police, etc…dramas that have been done a hundred times. There is way more depth to these characters.
ADVERTISE IT!!! No one has heard about it. Give it the same face time with ads as other shows and then look at the ratings!
Please don’t cancel games of silence. It is an awesome show.
My wife and I really like this show. It’s a show we both look forward to watching together. We will really miss it if you cancel. It would b a big mistake.
R u kidding. This is one of the best shows. KEEP IT GOING NEXT SEASON
Great show. Don’t cancel
Please do not cancel love this show!
I love this show. I dont care if it is similar to other story lines. This had story depth and suspense and the actors were strong together. NBC you made a mistake
Who cares if it resembles another show or movie! If it was given a chance I’m sure the writers could take it in a very creative direction! Such s shame to give up on it after one season! Give it another time slot and run it over the summer~I bet it will have better ratings! Why was this show cancelled? I loved watching it every week and now I won’t be able to anymore! The story line is great and the characters are amazing as well! Why would they cancel such s good drama?????
I love this show and would love to continue to the next season ;Ba
Love this show!
GOD NO….this is a great show,,, riveting!!!! don’t get crazy and end this show it’s one of the best. I know Ratings are the thing,, but this show is so good how about giving it another try in a different time slot, like putting it on
on a Saturday evening. Cancelling this show would be criminal.
NO NO NO this show should not be cancelled!!!!!!!!!!! Love this show and am telling everyone to watch it, It needs more time
It’s an amazing show can’t believe it’s cancelled crazy!!! Shocked! Wow! Hopefully it comes back .I look forward to it every Thursday after work. What a shame.
Love it. I don’t care if it reminds people of another show. It’s good and I like it.
After previews and the first ten minutes minutes, it is obvious this plotline is a total ripoff of the movie Sleepers (1996) with Robert definition Niro. Brad Pitt and Minnie Driver. Rent that movie and cancel this!!!
I thought I was the only one who knew this is a ripoff of Brad Pitts Sleepers! Thank God for you Nancy LOL
Love the movie sleepers so love that this tv show is similar! So sad it’s cancelled, hate even watching TV shows anymore , every time I find a good one it’s cancelled because it’s not another police drama etc
The movie ‘Sleepers’ and TV’s ‘Game Of Silence’ 2012 & 2016, were based on the true story/novel “Sleepers.”
