American Gothic
Aug. 7th, 2016 11:36 pmI generally love science fiction, fantasy and cop shows (that are about the team/partner relationships - I don't care about plot) but occasionally i get lured into a non-genre show. I started watching Downton Abbey because there was a gay character...and then stayed in spite of him because other characters and ships hooked me in (Bates/Anna ftw). I started watching Call the Midwife because I heard that in season 4 there would be a lesbian couple who get a happy ending and immediately fell in love with all the awesome women doing this amazing uplifting and heartbreaking and difficult job with grace and affection and OMG so wonderful :)
Then there is American Gothic which I assumed was going to be a supernatural show but turned out to be a drama about a wealthy dysfunctional family who realise that one of them must be a serial killer who'd stopped killing fifteen years ago.

Initially stayed because Anthony Starrr from Banshee is in it, but am five eps in and curious to see where it's going.
What a difference a haircut and some attitude makes!!! As Lucas Hood in Banshee -

And as the estranged, sinister older son in American Gothic -

First episode (looks like they're all on youtube, at least atm)
Actually, the elder daughter who is running for mayor is bisexual and in an open relationship with her husband and her campaign manager, for a value of open. I would have thought this would be a blindingly stupid thing to do when running for office and am going to assume JUDGEMENTALLY that this a rich people thinking they can get away with anything mentality.
