Mayor of Kingstown

Brutal, bleak, relentless, thrilling, brilliant TV. The grubby underside of the American Dream laid bare. Superbly acted and filmed without pity. I've knocked one star off for the extremely irritating Diane West character whose virtue signalling is utterly extraneous.

My kinda show right here. Dark, gritty, smart, unnerving at times. Hopefully it gets renewed for season 2 cus Jeremy Renner is KILLING IT!! If you liked Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, Bloodline, The Sopranos, or Escape at Danamora it definitely falls into that klan of shows that are very adult and dramatic and violent.

Renner is perfect in this roll. He is the brother of the Mayor. The mother plays a depressing, liberal history teacher who hates the world. Lots of good stuff, some nudity, some violence. A well balanced cops and robber drama. This one has legs.

Jeremy Renner absolutely kills it in this new series from Taylor Sheridan. I watched the entire season of Mayor of Kingstown from start to finish in one weekend and I'll probably watch it again sometime in the near future. It's every bit as good as I had for. Besides Renner it also stars Kyle Chandler, Aiden Gillen and Dianne Wiest. It's created by Taylor Sheridan (also creator of Yellowstone, 1883, Sicario, Hell or High Water, Wind River, etc). Sheridan has become one of the best writers in Hollywood and he hits another home run with this one. This While the acting is fantastic, the writing is just as good as the show will keep you entertained. It has everything you want in a great show...action, drama, suspense, twists, etc. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. We need more shows like this!

This show blew my expectations out of the water! It is excellent in every way, especially where 90% of current shows lack most good qualities. Jeremy Renner just proves he is an elite actor, and deserves full recognition! The acting ALL AROUND is flawless, from 15+ characters! Let show that had that was Man in High Castle and 24. The plot is realistic, gritty, and never predictable. It does what few shows, show a surreal and realistic pictures of the depravity of men and their sin nature, how man treats his fellow, and how fools reap their folly. Mike plays a Christian peacemaker, even though he makes no claim to be one. The show gives Mira lessons every episode, of virtues and vices, of principles and temptations, and every life "is a series of choices" as the Mom says. I LOVE the character Mike exemplifies, which is not found in any other show or recent movie. Cons: Too much profanity and far too graphic depiction of violent gore when the viewer can easily decipher what is about to happen Ex: the dog getting balls cut!

Antoine Fuqua is a top notch director who deserves TOP respect!!!
