What to Know

Critics Consensus

Competent acting and a sufficiently intriguing premise aren't enough to make up for Game of Silence's unnecessarily convoluted, heavily clichéd storytelling.

Poor title choice aside, the reality showcased in the incoming drama is much more horrifying than anything a non-scripted series could provide. It's worth watching... Go to Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times 04/14/2016
All of the actors are good; Mr. Raymond-James is scary good; and the story rips along at a brisk pace. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 04/13/2016
If you're not hooked in the first 30 minutes, you are bound to give up on it. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic 04/13/2016
4.5/5
With a strong cast and moving characters, even a well-known story can still be compelling. It already feels like we're standing beside friends, not watching strangers, and that's more than many series eventually deliver, let alone pilot episodes.

It almost seems too violent , frantic and mercurial for what it is trying to be. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
