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.

4/5
Now in the middle of season 4, the show continues to tighten its tendrils of menace, thuggery and corruption with seemingly no concern for the viewer’s delicate sensibilities. Go to Full Review
Johnny Loftus Decider Oct 28
While we continue to enjoy the interplay between these characters, we’re pretty sure nobody on this show has ever even seen a good mood – and that does not change with this immediately grim new season. Go to Full Review

Rob R @Talrak Apr 2 Best season yet. Great writing, back to seeing a power struggle and how difficult it can be to keep everything in check. Amazing season See more Marco L @decatur555 Mar 29 Mayor of Kingstown is one of the most underrated crime dramas of recent years. It is brutal, relentlessly dark, and built around a city where prisons, gangs, police, politics, and families all feed the same cycle of violence. What makes it great is not just its harshness, but how fully realized its world feels. Jeremy Renner is outstanding, giving Mike McLusky a mix of toughness, exhaustion, intelligence, and vulnerability that anchors the whole series. The supporting cast is excellent too, and the direction, cinematography, production design, and score all work together to create an oppressive, deeply unsettling atmosphere. It is not a comforting show, and it does not try to be. But if you connect with its tone, it becomes gripping, powerful television with the kind of world-building that recalls the best crime sagas. See more Timothy S. @TJSubject Mar 21 While I have a genuine appreciation for Mayor of Kingstown, I find it increasingly challenging to remain fully engaged for an entire episode. Across three seasons, the narrative rhythm and recurring motifs have grown somewhat predictable, and despite its strengths, the series occasionally lapses into a soporific repetition that makes sustained viewing taxing." See more Daniel W. @RT64819838 Mar 14 Ever wanted to jump through the screen and take sides with the mayor? Then this is without a shadow of a doubt the way to do it. See more Alpha B. @RT16438397 Feb 9 Ended up watching the whole series. Stayed consistently good without ever getting repetitive. Can't wait for season 5!
