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?
I really enjoy how this show has been developed and to end it so abruptly is unfair to the plot line that has been developed during the first season. Bring this show back for a second Season.
Please not cancel, the ending is just the beginning
Please change your mind about canceling the show. There is so much you can do with an ending like that. Disappointed that NBC didn’t give it enough time.
Please bring this back!! Totally loved the cast and show! Hooked!
I’ve been enjoying this show and wish you’d keep it on the air. At the very least you should have ended the series without a cliffhanger!
I absolute cannot believe Game of Silence is being cancelled!!! I loved this show! Such a shame, please reconsider

Once again NBC jumped the gun and cancelled a good show without a proper ending too. NBC who’s making your decisions, a five year old with the attention span of a gnat?
