The Gates

2010 · 1 season

A glossy suburban mystery where creepy neighbors and supernatural secrets keep you mildly hooked between soapy drama beats.

Tagline: Beautiful houses. Great schools. Killer neighbors.
Overview: Like most families that settle inside The Gates, the Monahans are unmoored from a complicated life they abandoned in Chicago. There's something very different about this place, almost... haunting. Named the new police chief of The Gates, Nick Monahan is about to be tangled up in a mystery where he will begin to piece together the dark truth about their new home, and the supernatural elements that lurk behind the shadows of The Gates.
How it feels: Eerie, tense, melancholic and campy. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, deception, family, isolation
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
