Game of Silence is a killer whale of a show.
By Glenn Garvin FULL REVIEW

While it mostly traffics in the idea of trying to right the past and how that can go so very wrong, it doesn’t get bogged down, instead letting the action and mystery drive the story. For what it is, you likely will be entertained while watching it, but it probably won’t stick with you very long.

The pitch here can be shrill. The warden makes Satan look like a nice guy, and Gil has a temper that can be wearying. But the essential tension--who will finally tell the truth? everybody is lying to somebody--makes for compelling, if exhausting, drama.

Ultimately the whole endeavor will feel more like hide and seek--the writers hide the answers that the audience seeks to find, traveling down dead ends until the big mystery is solved. It’s TV show as Clue board.

The villains are comically hissable, making this too-familiar Game regrettable missable. [18 Apr-1 May 2016, p.19]

As serialized mysteries go, Game isn't terrible but some of it is preposterous enough that viewers may not want to play it again.
