American Rust plot

Del Harris is the police chief of the small gloomy Pennsylvania village of Buell. Due to the departure of the once flourishing oil and steel industry, many inhabitants have been pushed closer and closer to the (financial) abyss. Many try to numb the intolerance of their existence with drugs and excessive drug use. Hard work is no longer for Del Harris. His retirement is in sight and he wants to get there as undisturbed as possible. However, that planning threatens to go wrong when the son of his secret love is suspected of murder.

Showtime's American Rust is clearly competing with HBO's Mare of Easttown and Netflix's Maid. Of these three series, American Rust is by far the least. Developed by Dan Futterman (The Looming Tower), the series tells the story of several families in the fictional town of Buell, near Pittsburgh. And so it is about the decline of the iron and steel industry with high unemployment, poverty, poor working conditions and drug and medication abuse. All this in a pale, pale and ephemeral landscape.

Police Chief Del Harris (Jeff Daniels - The Newsroom) is tasked with managing all the problems. In addition, a crime has been committed involving his girlfriend's son Grace (Maura Tierney - ER, The Affair). In addition to this main plot, American Rust has numerous meandering subplots that take the spirit out of the story. What could have been an exciting road trip, here becomes a bus trip for the over-85s to Keukenhof. You have slow-burners, you have very slow runs and you have American Rust. You don't have to translate the last word.

Still, enough happens in the 9 episodes, that's not the issue. But the messy scenario from episode 4 and the acting - Daniels is put on soothing medication - make it a very long sit. It also doesn't help that you don't develop a lot of feeling with the characters. Fortunately, it is not all doom and gloom. Alex Neustaedter plays Grace's son very well. And the kick-off is fine. A very tight enough. Just as gloomy as Buell.
