    Sopranos + Oz + the Wire = Riveting, Can't Look Away, Captivating TV - I'm enjoying this show greatly. Jeremy Renner does an excellent job as the lead. 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was totally surprised at the loss of Kyle Chandler in the first episode, as he was my main reason for watching the show in the first place. Although the supporting cast is full of well seasoned TV actors, I find Renner's role lacks substance. I managed getting through one more episode before opting out. I found the premise to be bleak, confusing at times and depressing, not something I'd watch to "entertain".… Expand

    A lot of unbelievable parts to this story. It dark and gritty and angsty. I liked most of it except for the nakedidity and nearly all of Dianne Wiest's preachy parts that had me skipping over her parts due to her insufferably unlikable character.

    Renner’s lived-in performance is a solid axis around which Sheridan builds his show’s scenario. Unfortunately, its initial two installments are largely setup, only hinting at the messiness to follow. ... Whether Sheridan and Dillon can make it as compelling a venue to visit as Montana remains to be seen. But between their star and their setting, they certainly have the pieces in place for a potential binge-worthy affair.

    While Mayor Of Kingstown boasts fine performances, it’s confusing at times and incredibly depressing at others. If we wanted to watch a show that’s relentlessly grim, there are much better choices out there.

    Mayor of Kingstown looks like a premium drama on paper, but the wafer-thin series that emerges feels destined to become a footnote as the other streaming show that Jeremy Renner starred in the same month Disney+ introduced "Hawkeye." Despite reuniting Renner with "Wind River" director Taylor Sheridan, this Paramount+ launch simply misses the target.
