This is a very good show, and one of it's kind I think. Once you get drawn in it keeps its grip on you. And glad Jeremy Renner recovered from his accident and is back at it in this show, cause he plays his character, the "Mayor" very well, and to a tee. But man, oh , man, this show is sinister, every step of the way! Very good, very addictive but sinister as ****! Honestly, I think sometimes if a town like Kingstown, same size, same groups of people and the same industry driving such a town, (i.e. Prisons) really exists, well thats just it, I don't think that's possible. Or if it did, it would have been a ghostown from long ago.

Over the years I heard good things about this show but never watched it nor saw a single episode. Probably because even if I knew of it then the fact it was on NBC network television, I figured "oh that's a joke". I never watch network TV. No graphic violence, cursing, etc so obviously boring. Well now just watching the first season and half of the 2nd, I do have to say the graphic violence and gore and of course the writing to an extent is remarkable given it was a show on NBC, and while intriguing, one thing bothers me. This has to be the dumbest, most naive group of FBI agents I've ever seen on TV or Film. I mean the real life FBI has to have been embarrassed from this. And yes I understand Hannibal's clever manipulation of everyone but it really becomes a stretch too far by episode 6 in season 2. If not for the Will Graham character this show just would have been cancelled before even green-lighted. So were that not the only problem, I would give an 8 or 9 but I have to give it a 6 and that is generous at best. Anyway, it got cancelled obviously so someone saw something wrong with it; wonder what that really might have been?
