American Gothic Season 1, Episode 8 - Spoiler Review

Here I am, bringing you another review for American Gothic. This review is for the 8th episode of the season and might contain spoilers. You have been warned.

In the 8th episode of the series, we are met with another dead end until the very last moment in the episode. Most of what is going on is again sidelining us from the main supposed murder-mystery aspect of the story. Jack and his psychotic actions is still the highlight of the show. Well, Brady as well might be the very best actor the show has. Even Garrett's Enigmatic character is losing its initial finesse.

Allison's strange arrangement with her husband, Tom, is becoming a part of the plot that is pathetic at best, used to dismiss characters and bring in very minute stories that are not even needed for the survival of the show. In fact, it is these kinds of side stories that makes the show fail.

The show has a lot of potential if done differently. However the fickle attempts at increasing the episode count and maybe even postponing the truth to be revealed in a future season is definitely the kind of thing that will make sure this show gets no future seasons.

However, and after a lot of unnecessary background noise and series of dead ends, Brady ends up with what he believes is knowledge of who Mitchell Hawthorne's partner in the murders. Brady after adding one and one together (from his perspective) is now under the belief that Garrett is the partner in question.

Is it gonna be Garrett though. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. However, the promo for the ninth episode suggests Garrett did kill someone, maybe more considering the promo he tells Tessa that he can't tell her that he never killed a soul. However, there is also the voice-over in the trailer that while Garrett is in prison and while he happens to be the partner of Mitchell, who is now terrorizing the town.

Well, there seems to be a plan to either do a good couple of episodes next or just terrorize us with more meaningless and boring story. We will find out come the next episode I guess.
