If you have ever lived in a "Steel Town," or other community experiencing a downturn in its economic fortunes, American Rust will be familiar to you. Performances by Daniels and. Tierney (why would we expect anything less from these two) are outstanding as are the performances of the rest of the cast. As the telling of the story is purposeful and deliberate, folks desiring quick resolutions may be put-off by the pacing. I was not. Also what I found to be realistic descriptions of the desperation of real towns similar to fictional Buell, PA, might be viewed as negative by others. Overall American Rust is a very good show suited for more mature audiences - it likely will not satisfy the car chase/explosion/slasher/soft porn crowd.
