EPISODE
American Gothic - Season 1 (1995)
The series tells the story of a quiet little town that looks attractive and ruled by its charming sheriff. The inhabitants of this city face various ramifications in front of this evil man who uses his diabolical powers to remove anyone who dares to stand in his way. It seems that a young boy who was born with rape may be the only one this man dreads.

Despite some rather dodgy special effects and the occasional heavy-handedness, American Gothic holds up very well.

This is the most difficult show of the year to describe - it's at once repulsive and enthralling. The quality of writing and acting is exceptional, and - while it's certainly not to everyone's taste - it's also about the best new show of the season.

It is the most promising effort of its kind since early Twin Peaks, to which it will inevitably be compared. American Gothic reinforces the old saw that the most enervating terror of all is psychological, and here it is abundance.

"American Gothic" requires patience as well as trust. Patience, to endure this opening hour, which plods and meanders en route to a negligible payoff. Trust, that the series will improve.

"Gothic"'s one-season run features plenty of strong moments and no real stinkers. Couple that with a finale that provides enough closure to be satisfying while still inspiring wistful thoughts of "what if..."

I loved it, but I'm not sure I want to watch it before going to bed.

Consume this supernatural sandwich and you're liable to end up thinking you should have thrown away the bread.

The mood and visuals are too stylized, the music too self-conscious, the situations too ridiculous to sustain a mass audience over several seasons.

If the sense of menace sometimes threatens to get a bit campy, that shouldn't come as a surprise in a project on which two of the executive producers are Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert.
