Past comes back to haunt in 'Game of Silence'

Warning: Spoilers
Game of Silence is an American drama television series based on the Turkish series Suskunlar.

Game of Silence is rooted in a secret that five friends, now teetering on the far edge of their 30s, have shared—and tried to forget—for 25 years: a joyride in a stolen car that ended badly, with four of them serving time at a reform-school hellhole where they were beaten, raped, and abused by guards and their inmate flunkies.

But the ugly memories resurface forcefully when one of them has a chance encounter with their worst abuser and, in a raging moment of madness, beats him half to death with a golf club, triggering an escalating series of bloody reprisals on both sides.

The violence threatens not just their varying degrees of middle-age respectability, but their lives; the youthful gang-bangers they tangled with in prison have grown up into full-blown gangsters whose tentacles reach into high and unexpected places. How to fight back soon divides the five friends.

I have to say i saw the Turkish version, so i know what this show is about, have to say that obvious in Turkey the show was even more dark. So in my opinion is a show worth seeing. 8/10
