Just perfect...

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

The minute I heard American Gothic was going to be back on TV I was so excited...until I realized (being forced to write the non-English version of this word with a z instead of an s for some reason as it isn't passing the guidelines despite saying I don't need to "correct" it) it had nothing to do with the originally named TV show American Gothic that was totally excellent.Gave it a watch and yawn boring! I fell asleep 10 minutes into the first episode. Why call a show by the same name as a great one with an amazing plot line when it's utter garbage...? They might want to consider renaming the show to stop viewers reading it and associating it with the original show.

I ignored many bad ratings and reviews and decided to watch the show and judge it myself, and I can't say I had high hopes for it. But I was proved wrong; it's interesting, nicely paced and a great opportunity for the actors who are doing a great job. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and seems that it might improve as it goes on. The first episode was a struggle, as with many shows but after 4 to 5 episodes it kept me coming back.That said, there are a few minor problems, sometimes the way the story is told isn't quite satisfying and, out of all the actors involved, Megan Ketch's acting was terrible and, dare I say it, cringe worthy.But in the end, the show was enjoyable and was certainly not a waste of time.

I made it through the first 3 episodes and then wondered why I was wasting time that could have been better spent.I know summer fillers are often not worthwhile but this one is right up there near the top when it comes to being that waste. IMO, it is poorly written. Among the characters there is not one, so far, that has any redeeming qualities except the cop who married into the family. It is both overacted and underacted.What is more, is that by this time, I don't even care who the killer was (is). Was this just created as a vehicle to give Virginia Madsen a job?

Sad to see some people find this boring. As one who is very tired all the silly tricks to try and pump up our adrenaline like Shonda Rhimes and her micro bursts of stills that made me walk away from 'Scandal' and trying to shock by pushing the limits on gratuitous graphic gay scenes that lost my interest in 'How to get away with Murder', I find this show very refreshing, balanced and intelligent. I like the array of characters and each of the actors that play them. It is also great to have a break from being overfilled with shock and awe special effects and sci-fi silliness like 'Under the Dome' and 'Wayward Pines'. If you are looking for a TV fix to satisfy a need for high speed adrenaline pumping shock-treatments, this show is not for you.For me, I find it vert well done and a perfect fit in quality entertainment.
