    Renner’s ferociously powerful performance is the best thing about “The Mayor of Kingstown,” a gritty, highly pedigreed, impressively photographed and well-acted series.

    It’s hard to know what the long game is after watching just two episodes. If said episodes are any indication, there will be no shortage of bloodshed, adrenaline or metaphor (Mike is rather obsessed with the grizzly bears who frequent the area outside his cabin). But there’s also some low-key, unexpected humor, much of it courtesy of Renner.

    Sopranos + Oz + the Wire = Riveting, Can't Look Away, Captivating TV - I'm enjoying this show greatly.

His performance draws you in. The casting from top to bottom is excellent. Another case where the critics seem to have another agenda in mind and are out of touch with what makes compelling viewing.

    Excellent show. Great cast, great directing, world building for what it is. Great casting with dread.
