American Rust (2021–2024)
9/10
A 9 after 9 episodes
25 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
After 2 episdoes:So far- the acting and the characters are wonderful as are the scenes of hard times and celebrations in a rusted mill town. All the leads have immensely expressive and compelling expressions and body language that complement the spareness of the dialogue. The actors show real emotions - great relief after all of the shouting that fills the airwaves these days. Slow burn- I agree and an elegaic feel- an elegy for a town and the people that America left behind.

After show finished: Great show: 9-10/10 The elegaic feel is maintained until the end. Cliffhangers do raise possibility of another season. Main characters Daniels, Tierney, Mayoraga, Neustaedter, Alvarez) are superb as are Camp/Yang/Roberts. A dark story for dark times about complromised flawed people reaching for some degree of happiness and stability but the odds are always stacked against them- as injustice is baked inot the fabric of the town.
