American Gothic shows promise to go the distance. Each character has it's own story line which intertwines with each other. Excitement throughout the entire show. Great job writers.

This show hit the marked, love the twist and turns and the suspense. This show has to come back, to find out if the real Silver Bell Killer comes back for even more, and what about the newly elected Mayor and the dirty dealings she did to plot the murder of her mother, keep this show.

As a lightweight, summer "page-turner", it's fitting the bill. I love the female lead (from The Knick), and the oldest brother (from Banshee), is great. Not totally sold on the matriarch, but I'll give her some rope. The one character who almost single-handedly brings the story down is the "sick" kid who is obsessed with death, mutilating pets, etc. Erase that character from the story and I maybe give it a "9".

I liked the plot and the mystery around the family. They definitely have a lot of secrets. I think some of the characters are truly fascinating, starting with the younger one. But some others are just boring. A few individual plots are so cliché that makes me cringe. However, I am interested enough to keep watching. I hope the creators and writers know what they're doing and how to keep the episodes interesting and entertaining without losing it. A lot of mysteries shows simply lose their way into the episodes. I hope this one doesn't.

Feels like I'm watching an old episode of Dallas. With that whole rich family and "Who Shot JR" sort of theme. I was expecting something much darker story wise than that. :/
