Review:
Ahhh, Welcome to Trinity, South Carolina, pray you don't attract the
attention of the local sheriff, Lucas Buck, he'll give you one Devil of
a time! Literally folks, he's apparently some incarnation of the devil
on earth and uses his power to ensnare those he wants for one reason or
another. The focus of his attentions in the short run series is his
son, Caleb Temple. Product of a rape by Buck, Caleb looses his family
to Lucas Buck, but allys himself with the few people in town who resist
the sheriff and stays just a short step ahead of his father. Can Buck
seduce Caleb to his side or will Caleb's dead sister Merlyn keep him
out of harm's way? I loved this series when it aired, but only caught a
few episodes, now i can watch them all, plus a few more. What i dislike
is the fact that the episodes do not follow a chronological order, and
this makes following the story a bit hard. The story is as slow moving
as life in the Carolinas at times, so it might not be good for those
who can't stick with it. I liked it and found most of the stories worth
watching and thinking about. I think it's a shame the series only lasted one season, like so many other good stories.

Plot: Creepy
and at times a mite violent, American Gothic is a tale of good versus
evil, and it's souls that lie in the balance, whether the players in
this game know it or not. Trinity, South Carolina has a sheriff that is
as smooth as silk on satin, or as slippery as an eel in butter, but
he's also got a mean streak, a devil of one! Lucas Buck, the sheriff of
the small town, has a keen interest on the newly orphaned Caleb Temple.
What is his interest and why is this boy who fears and hates him so
much so important? Is Buck simply and evil man, or is he simply Evil?
