A crime drama about an important contemporary issue, America's prison system, "Mayor of Kingstown" follows the McLusky family in Kingstown, Mich., where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry; the family of power brokers between police, criminals, inmates, prison guards and politicians tackle themes of systemic racism, corruption and inequality; the crime thriller series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither.

Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 01/18/2023
2/5
The performances are decent – particularly Taylor Handley as Mike’s police officer brother – and the plotting is assured. But it is undone by the violence for violence’s sake. Go to Full Review Manuel Betancourt AV Club 01/14/2023
C+
Show and character alike seem instead to find more narrative interest in (re)establishing well-worn plots about feuding gangs and violent power grabs. It may be gripping but it’s uninspired, both as television and as meditation on law and order in 2023. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 01/20/2023
Likely to be a little too gloomy for the Yellowstone crowd and not quite weighty enough for avid crime drama aficionados, Mayor of Kingstown is nonetheless well worth seeking out. Go to Full Review Rodrigo Perez The Playlist 01/20/2023

Is this system, like this show, sustainable? That’s unclear, and some gazing beyond the navel would be healthy for it. Go to Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider 01/18/2023
Mayor of Kingstown... seems to be doubling down on its sour times in season two. It’s to our benefit that the acting is so terrific, since otherwise Kingstown puts viewers on a collision course to bad mood city. Go to Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming 01/18/2023
2/5
Overly melodramatic and shallow in its content, there’s currently no reason to recommend tuning in to Mike McClusky’s latest small-screen outing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel W. @RT64819838 4d Jeremy Renner could knock this roll out of the park with a blindfold on it and a gag in his mouth. He's absolutely relentless! See more Edward F @RT21493057 Jan 26 Still good, but not as great as first season. Weirdly, the critics increased their rating by season 2 - I wonder if that's because, from their lofty towers, they were surprised the muddy masses loved it and it kept getting renewed? See more Reviewer 2. @Reviewer24 Dec 31 Show continues to build off of season 1 and you don’t know what is coming next. See more Lynn R @Lynnar Dec 26 I just finished Season 2. I like reading the other reviews and seems there’s a mixed bag. Critics always hate everything. I NEVER go by them. I always find myself liking something, that never makes it. I hv weird taste. As a woman, I do find Taylor Sheridan doesn’t have the highest regard for women. I’m watching Landman now and he really has taken his disdain for women to the next level. Altho, I watched Tulsa King, and there, women are not represented in such a bad way. So there is hope . As far as everyone complaining about it being so repetitive. Well??? That is life for these guys. Prison and Gangs. And dealing with the police, the SWAT TEAM and the AG office. That is their life. This is not about spies. I think the acting is great. I love Robert! He reminds of Rambo. Just go in for the kill. I know. I’m bad. Basically both sides are corrupt in their own way but sometimes there is a good reason for it. An eye for an eye. See more Tash P @Tash-P Dec 13 Obsessed with this show. The only character I don't like it Iris, she definitely brings nothing to the storyline. See more Silke B @Silke1 Oct 28 Another dopey series. Jeremy Renner is awful in every movie & series he attempts. His personality is blah & lifeless & his presence onscreen has zero force or charisma He’s no matinee idol so looks don’t save him. Absolutely nothing he does is credible. The show has no memorable good or bad guys & is irrevocably dull & cliche. PASS See more Read all reviews
