"The biggest problem is that Game of Silence doesn’t seem to take place in the real world but in some TV land where all of these ludicrous elements can come together to try to form a convincing whole,” says Brian Moylan. "The problem is that it has a sincerity that doesn’t allow the craziness to be fun like it is on Empire or Scandal. Instead it just keeps viewers from caring about anything that might happen to these characters or the conclusion of the mysteries.” PLUS: It’s a convoluted story that isn’t worthwhile to watch, and it’s plagued by inconsistency.
