Avis à la une
I must start this review by clarifying that I originally starting watching this series in mid-July, but I wasn't able to finish it until now due to force majeure reasons. Still, I'll give my personal opinion about it. Although "Mr. Mayor" is not a great masterpiece of series, it isn't trash either as some imply, since it's a good satire of what has become 21st century' politics and issues today, especially in the United States. Nonetheless, I have to flag some aspects.
Although the series creators made a good formula that kept me entertained most of the time generally speaking, I felt that its execution was kinda rocky. In the characters' aspect, while they are interesting enough and had a good interaction between them and with the audience, there's still a lot to do regarding their individual development. As for the comedy factor, it was both a hit and miss, because although there were jokes that managed to pull me some chuckles, other were so goofy and cringy that practically failed.
In the end, while "Mr. Mayor" is a quite OK series with a lot of potential to offer, it requires significant improvements in the writing and humor for Season 2 if it wants to continue in the TV's major leagues for more time. The question is: I would tune Season 2 when it is released? The answer is yes.

I thought season one was great. I normally find Ted danson very funny...season 2 was a major dispontment. I stopped watching after about epp 4. They need to get the writers from season one back.
Fresh. Different. Smart. Sarcastic. Goofy. Slapstick. Relatable. Feel good. Great cast. Random.

This show gives off major 30 Rock vibes with ridiculous head shaking humor. I agree with other reviews that the first 1-2 episodes aren't great, but the show really hits it's stride after that. Holly Hunter deserves an award for her acting as the cooky, ultra progressive character Arpi. Overall not a perfect show, but a fun watch.
Decent rapid-fire comedy with a stream of consciousness pathway of laughs. Loose and sometimes free-associating jokes that can indeed be hard to follow. But, that can also lead to strange and unexpected new humor that is rarely seen on most normal comedies. A fan of 30Rock or Arrested Development would enjoy this show.
The framework of Los Angeles mayoral politics serves well to illustrate the absurdities of modern big-city life. Political correctness and confusion provide nice fodder for Tina Fey's excellent brand of (sometimes awkward or cringeworthy) humor. Ted Danson as aged establishment straightman is a nice familiar casting. Good to have a clueless father figure to bounce jokes off of. It will be interesting to see how the youthful characters are humbled by wit and wisdom. The show does seem to have some nice possibilities.... Hopefully it doesn't become a crusade for social justice or teachable moments or anything more than a platform for stupid, but deceptively sharp, jokes.
