Spoiler Show Synopsis: American Gigolo is a Showtime television adaptation of the 1980 film of the same name. In the series we see Julian Kaye (played by Jon Bernthal) being exonerated for a murder he spent fifteen years in prison for. Julian was a male prostitute, or gigolo, from the age of 15 when his mother sent him off to get out of his unfavorable home situation. Once freed, he tries to adjust to life outside and uncover the circumstances of his framing. He takes up somewhat of a reluctant partnership with Det. Joan Sunday (played by Rosie O’Donnell), the detective who put him away. During this process of returning back to a normal life, he hopes to reconnect with his lover Michelle (Gretchen Mol). Michelle’s son Colin (played by Gabriel Labelle) is on the lamb after falling in love with his teacher and escaping with her to create a new life. Colin’s lover, Elizabeth, is accidentally killed by Richard Stratton’s (Leland Orser) lawyer/right hand man, Panish. Detective Sunday hunts for clues to solve both murders and Julian, Michelle, and Richard search for Colin (who we find out is Julian’s biological son). Colin is taken for ransom by a man called McGregor who worked for Olga (Julian’s former boss) and who now works for Richard. Isabelle (played by Lizzie Brocheré), Olga’s successor, contacts McGregor and brings Colin back to Julian and Michelle. In the end of the series, we see Julian and Michelle planning to start back up where they left of, creating a life together, only for Michelle to pull the plug when she sees Colin and Richard start to repair their shattered relationship.
