Mayor of Kingstown

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.

I'm excited to see where they are taking this. The general plot is a great idea and leaves open a kind of Sopranos-SOA-Justified-Shield-ish type vibe where it can go a lot of places and show a lot of angles. Ignore the negative reviews, anyone who writes off a show based on one episode, or the first 15 minutes of one episodes has no business leaving reviews because their opinion becomes invalid from a lack of depth.

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.

Didnt know Sheridan was responsible for Sicario and Hell or High Water till I read the reviews. I have no idea how realistic these gritty dark shows and movies are but I love them. I see reviews saying people don't talk using f-bombs all the time. Not sure where they work but I promise they exist. Really just wanted to write a review for the first time to say I've been using imdb ratings and reviews to judge whether or not I want to watch something forever. All these whining conservatives are really making me dread what I used to enjoy. A couple scenes about US history and people refuse to watch and give bad ratings? Dont know if what she said is exactly true. Don't really care. But how do these people think the country was built? What's wrong with saying yeah the country and powers that be do messed up stuff sometimes but I'm still glad I live here. This weird binary good or bad, this or that thinking is dumb and lazy. Stop tying your identity to your ideological beliefs maybe and you won't get so offended. Idk. Or just shut up. Just screaming my annoyance into the void pointlessly. Watch the show. It's bad ass.

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!
