could have been great with better casting
Out of nothing Taylor Sheridan emerged as one of the best creators of our time; Sicario, Yellowstone,1883 and now Mayor of Kingstown. The recipe is a great story, amazing characters, brilliant writing and top notch casting but while 1883 the recipe is executed to perfection, Mayor of suffers from what feels like sloppy casting. The most painful example is Bunny, the leaders of Crips, played by a chubby, likeable actor that just doesn't work as a devious, scheming, heartless murderer, and it doesn't help that Bunny is written as well as some other characters, in this regard Sheridan should have taken a page out of The Wire's playbook.
