Autumn Binged 2022 - American Rust

American Rust is another one and done US TV series. Created by Dan Futterman based on the novel of the same name by Philipp Meyer, the 9 episode series premiered on September 12, 2021.

In the USA it's on Showtime, meaning Paramount+ in Australia for new Showtime series. However sadly Super Pumped is still missing from the streaming app!

Starring Maura Tierney (Showtime's The Affair), Bill Camp, David Alvarez, Alex Neustaedter and Julia Mayorga, Mark Pellegrino, Dallas Roberts, Clea Lewis, Nicole Chanel Williams and Jeff Daniels.

Set in a small Rust Belt town in Pennsylvania, chief of police Del Harris (Daniels) takes on an investigation when the son of the woman he loves is accused of murder.

It has Mare of Eastown vibes all over it. It's dark, intense and at times disturbing.

The nine episodes really pick up the pace around episode five. It has a slightly slower pace, but picks up eventually.

If you have Paramount+, watched 1883, seen the Dexter reboot, this might be for you. I need to do Yellowjackets ASAP. Along with Mayor of Kingstown. This is quickly becoming a streaming service I am enjoying.

Until next time.... Oh and by the way, there will be some no post times over Easter. I am finally leaving the country after a long break!
