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?
I am so glad I am not the only one who is so disappointed that this show has been cancelled; the ending was unbelievable! I really hoped they would come back next season until an “acceptable” conclusion was reached. This show is SO much better than all the junk they play nowadays. NBC was really getting into the groove with awesome shows. This is so not good…………………….
I love this show, it is intense and real. The story line reminds me of the true story of the “Dozier boys reformatory in Florida.” The basis is the same, only the added characters are different. I think this is the 4th show this season that I enjoy and that got cancelled. It makes it hard to watch new shows, I worry they will get cancelled too.
I can’t believe how they left us hanging Wake up NBC!!
I loved the show can’t believe they left us hanging!!! Wake up NBC
I cannot believe this show is being cancelled. It is one of the only shows I look forward to watching weekly. How can you end it without giving it a chance? I suppose it will be replaced with some ridiculous “reality” show that has nothing to do with reality. Please reconsider!!
The only series that I so looked forward to watching weekly. Kept you on the edge of your seat. I hate it when TV networks hook you on a new show, and then leave you hanging to reach your own conclusion as to how it ends. Makes you uninterested in viewing their new shows.
Loved this show,thought it had a terrible ending,left to be renewed.
This is my favorite TV show. So well written and really nothing else like it on TV. Cancelling this show is a shame. I haven’t seen the finale yet-I hope it isn’t a cliff hanger or I will be really upset. I will watch it tonight
is nbc sick this was a great show why do they cancel the good ones
What is wrong with NBC, the network was just beginning to have a lot of GOOD PROGRAMS but then thy decide to cancel I wish you would reconsider.Whoever thought this would be a good idea is TERRIBLY WRONG come on.
My family and several of my friends really like Game of Silence. We are sick of all of the reality shows and are upset that when a show we like comes along it is cancelled. It is time that the broadcast networks brought back programs other than reality shows.
This was a great show. I cannot believe it was cancelled. Bad move NBC! Is this the stupid network that cancelled Southland too!
I think Game of Silence should be “Renewed”, I’m so tired of a series comes on and I really like it and now you guys are cancelling it, so tired of this!!!!
Renewal it was amazing loved it !! Heartbroken at the end of the Last show it has to come back!
This can’t be the end after watching this evenings episode! You have got to be kidding me!
please,please don’t cancel this show! love it! I want to know what happened to Marina!
