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?
Bring it back!!
Please bring it back. It is a great show-my husband and I love this show
Loved the show, should have been renewed or at least given a real ending. What we got was a season finally not a series finally. Poor way to end a great show.
Don’t leave us hanging renew this show such a great show!
Both my wife and myself really enjoy the show! Please bring it bak!
Please do not cancel. Keeps you entertained. I looked forward seeing this each week. Bring it back next season.
I rarely ever watch NBC but I watched this show. I loved it! This show had it all- great acting, appealing characters who you rooted for, and good writing. How stupid of NBC to shoot themselves in the foot! Terrible way to end things and I will not make the same mistake and invest in another NBC show! Very terrible way to end a show that was better than the network it was on! This was a show we could not wait to see the next week and even marked the calendar so we would not forget to watch the… Read more »
Excellent show.Please continue with a second season. The acting and great story always kept you on the edge of your seat. Please reconsider renewing.Great suspense!!!!! Please keep…….
Should have been renewed – much better show than How to Get Away with Murder
Please do not cancel. Excellent acting and show.
I like the show game of silence..I wish it would continue
Don’t cancel this series. Best show of the season. Bad ending.
Great show. Great acting. Why anyone in their right mind would cancel
this show is beyond any logical comprehension. This show was an eye-opener
as to how the system ‘works’ and all the under-handed deals that are made.
I can see from the comments that I am not alone, This show should
definitely be renewed.
But by all means, put on more reality-show junk…….
why was Game o Silence cancelled, it is a great show which shows the underhanded thinking and doing of the penal system. why take something off the air that is showing the truth ? do people not want to know what is possibly happening to their children it’s a great show very eye opening …..
Love this show. Do not cancel .Last episode was a cliff hanger. Need to know what happened.
