American Gothic is an American mystery drama television series created by Corinne Brinkerhoff. CBS announced a 13-episode straight-to-series order on October 9, 2015. The show premiered on June 22, 2016. On October 17, 2016, CBS cancelled the series after one season.
The Hawthornes, an affluent Boston family, must redefine themselves following the discovery that their recently deceased patriarch could have been a serial killer. Suspicion arises that one of them may have been his accomplice.
American Gothic holds a current score of 51 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 23 "mixed or average" reviews. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports a 59% critics rating based on 23 reviews. The website consensus reads: "American Gothic may not be striving for much, yet it holds promise as a soapy, campy family murder-mystery that's ultimately just engaging enough."
Each episode of the series is named after a well-known American work of art, and features a visual reference to its namesake painting within the episode.
Garrett stalks a woman named Christina Morales (Catalina Sandino Moreno). He intentionally cuts himself to be stitched up by her, and she is revealed to be the daughter of an SBK victim. Madeline goes over Mitch's will with the family; he left everything to her. She plans to sell the concrete factory and later fires Gunther. Cam takes Jack to a former therapist of his and learns she recorded his sessions at the time. Sophie helps him steal the recordings, but he is caught on camera, which could damage Alison's campaign and risk his losing custody of Jack. Detective Cutter informs Madeline of having evidence she bought a belt similar to the one used in the tunnel murder. Brady interrupts them to exclaim that DNA and fingerprint evidence excludes any Hawthorne. Madeline suggests Gunther is the murderer, and he is later found hanged in the shed. A suicide note simply says: "I'm sorry."
