Game of Silence Season 1 Episode 4 

“The Uninvited” (SPOILER ALERT)  The corruption that started at Quitman has permeated so far outside the gates of that little facility that it's a bit unbelievable. I'm still watching to find out exactly what happened to the boys at Quitman. It must have been atrocious. Gil is worried to death about photos out there of him as a kid, for goodness sakes. Nobody will interested in those unless what was in them stands the test of time. And we can guess what those might entail.  Maybe I don't want to know what went on at the parties, now that I think about it.It's impossible not to want the lot of them to get revenge on Carroll. Why should he be floating through life after what he's done? More importantly, why should he be continuing to get away with the same garbage he did on a smaller scale at Quitman on a larger, state-wide scale? Because if he does it on a state-wide scale, we can assume it will only propel him even further.Just no.What is not pleasant to watch, and what I have never personally enjoyed, are the detailed journeys we are forced to take into the lives of psychotic thugs. After four episodes, it's clear now that there is nothing about Carroll, Terry or any of his minions that can redeem any of them. They're all garbage. I mean, Terry had his minions set out their own kill cloths. WTF is that about? Now we had to discover Det. Liz is in their pockets, as well. Is there anybody working for the town who won't be shown to be working for Carroll in some capacity? It's great that the old friends can pretty much kill anyone and not feel a tiny bit of remorse. As an audience, we can give them a free pass to do their worst. Get out the chainsaws, for crap's sake. Go for it. Would it be any more ludicrous than thinking any one man could have that much sway over a community? But that's not what I was hoping to watch when I first turned on Game of Silence. Maybe the tell was in the title. It really is just a game. There is not much reality to this story. It is what it is.  And what it is is a story about kids who got the shoddiest end of the stick after making a mistake when they were kids. They were subjected to the worst of humanity, and the lesson they learned was if you remain absolute garbage, you'll have a great life and go places.  Nice lesson. I suppose I should be relieved I find Jackson, Shawn and Gil so compelling considering they really should have ended up like Terry. He's the only one who took the actual experience of Quitman and put it to good use. At least Marina is aware of Jackson's old friends now. But Jackson didn't share just how close they were, and when Marina asked him if he told her everything, I got the impression from the look on her face, she's not sticking around if she discovers he's kept anything from her.And whoa boy, is Jackson keeping a heap load from his future wife.At this point, I'm ready for the foursome to put on armor and pick up the wildest weapons to go crazy on the thugs asses including Carroll. I would love that. It's not going to happen, but it would have me cheering from home.

Five best friends have a dark secret they thought was buried 25 years ago, but they soon discover that you can't hide your past forever. From the executive producers of "CSI" and "Friday Night Lights" comes a gripping new drama about friendship, love, revenge and the moral dilemma of how far one will go in the pursuit of justice.

Jackson Brooks (David Lyons, "Revolution") is a successful attorney who seems to have it all. He's engaged to his boss, Marina (Claire van der Boom, "Hawaii Five-O"), and he's on the fast track to becoming partner at his firm, but his world is turned upside down when his long-lost childhood friends unexpectedly reappear after 25 years.

Jackson, Gil Harris (Michael Raymond-James, "True Blood"), Shawn Polk (Larenz Tate, "Rush") and Boots (Derek Phillips, "Friday Night Lights") always stuck together, like brothers. They spent their boyhood summers in the small town of Dalton, Texas, swimming in the quarry, shooting bottle rockets and doing everything they could to mine the fun out of small-town life. But their idyllic world turned chaotic one fateful summer afternoon when a well-intentioned and heroic attempt to save their friend Jessie (Bre Blair, "Last Vegas") from her alcoholic mother ultimately cost the 13-year-old boys nine months at Quitman Youth Detention Facility, where their lives were changed forever.

Now 25 years later, the nightmare of the worst nine months of their lives has resurfaced, uprooting a mystery even deeper than their buried past. The brotherhood must now band together to right the wrongs of their shared past - a journey that will push the limits of their loyalty and ignite in them an unquenchable thirst for revenge.

The cast also includes Conor O'Farrell ("The Lincoln Lawyer"), Deidrie Henry ("Justified") and Demetrius Grosse ("Saving Mr. Banks").

"Game of Silence" is executive produced by Carol Mendelsohn, David Hudgins, Julie Weitz, Tariq Jalil, Timur Savci, Deran Sarafian and Niels Arden Oplev (Pilot). The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television and Universal Television.
