If you liked Mare of East Town earlier this year then you'll probably like this though it feels more somber in a certain way. Where Mare had the funny family dynamic to lift up the mood in every episode, American Rust is all about the perceived realities of living in a small town in the Rust Belt and people forgotten by the modern world who are just trying to get by. I like shows that portray the world outside the big cities so I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.
