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).

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?
NBC shows its ignorance once again. I can’t believe they just don’t get it. No wonder Netflix and primeTV are leaving them in the dust. They are run by a bunch of morons. To the cast, directors and producers: great show, well done.
Absolutely the best thing since Goliath. Please do another season!
I loved this show. What a shame, finally a good show that actually has an amazing plot and storyline with great actors and its canceled… Not enough sex, drugs, and violence I suppose.
I really liked this show. It’s a shame it was cancelled
Shouldn’t have cancelled one the best series NBC has done!! Shame on you NBC….;no reason to watch your network now that I know there will not be a Season 2!!!
I REALLY Liked this show! How Dare They CANCEL After One Season
I cant imagine why this show was cancelled. One of the best shows on TV in a long long time.
I’m devastated I’ve been waiting patiently for it to return finally decided to Google it to see when it is coming back on air. I’m so sad its been cancelled and shocked that its because of low ratings it was such a good show and I was so into it (which is why I’m taking the time to write this lol) I need to know what happens next they can’t leave us hanging. Shame on you NBC!!!!! Please renew it!
Excellent show – why can’t another station pick it up – NBC does not have a clue on this one.
I am really disappointed that this series has been cancelled. It seems like every time there is a good series, it gets cancelled. I really hope this one returns. I agree with Angie, who ever stopped this show is clueless about what the public likes.
Really good show. Mystery, suspense and adult action. Very entertaining! Who ever stopped this show does NOT know what the public likes. I vote to fire them. I loved this show!!!
I loved it. Bring it back
I really wish they bring it back it was so good! I been waiting to see when it comes back on.. put it I no be netflix or somethinh please..
Loved this show it should definitely be renewed!!
This was an AWESOME series, and my husband and I were looking forward to the next season. But you guys canceled the show. You could have, at least, had a finale for the cliffhanger!! I’m not starting to watch any shows on you station, cause you have a habit of not finishing.
