Administrator Toups Posted May 9, 2014 Administrator Share Posted May 9, 2014 American Crime: Discussion Thread AMERICAN CRIME - All over the news are reports about a young couple in Modesto, California, who were attacked in their home.

Earl Brown as Tom, Richard Cabral as Hector Tonz, Caitlin Gerard as Aubry, Benito Martinez as Alonzo Gutierrez, Penelope Ann Miller as Eve, Elvis Nolasco as Carter and Johnny Ortiz as Tony Gutierrez. “American Crime” was written, directed and produced by John Ridley (“12 Years A Slave”).

Members London Posted May 10, 2014 Members Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Cast PhotoWHO | Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), Timothy Hutton (Leverage), Benito Martinez (Sons of Anarchy), W. Earl Brown (Deadwood), Penelope Ann Miller (Mistresses), Richard Cabral WHAT | Set in California's Central Valley, it centers on a racially charged murder and the subsequent trial, which are examined through the personal lives of the players involved. The case takes on greater meaning in the community, bringing to the forefront America's hardened views on race, class and gender politics.

Members ChitHappens Posted May 15, 2014 Members Share Posted May 15, 2014 Another mini series stretched to a full season. Expect lots and lots of filler and convoluted plots (see Revenge). However, I anticipate really good performances from this show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 21, 2014 Members Share Posted May 21, 2014 Are you telling me they're going to allow non-stylized exhibits of human emotion on network TV? People still cry alone in the bathroom? Looks great! Although it seems like it would fit better on a cable network. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 21, 2014 Members Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm glad Timothy Hutton is back on TV. I just wish it wasn't in a rehash of "Murder One." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cassadine1991 Posted January 8, 2016 Members Share Posted January 8, 2016 This was insane. Connor Jessup was already pretty good actor, but whoa. He and Lili Taylor were great 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted January 11, 2016 Members Share Posted January 11, 2016 Watching this season because the trailers have been giving me chills. Very interested to see what the "Truth" is at the end of the story. The characters look very intense and real and I love how culturally relevant this is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
