Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “American Gothic is easily my pick of the week. A grossly overrated series that deserved to have more than one season, particulary since 6/22 of the produced episodes didn’t even make it to air in the original time slot.” Alex says, “I have not watched American Gothic before, but it’s been something I’ve meant to watch for a while. Other than that, Scream Factory does a really good job with their Blu-Ray releases, so I’d definitely recommend picking up Manhunter.”
