Mayor of Kingstown
Created by Taylor Sheridan, Hugh Dillon
In a small Michigan town where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry, the McClusky family are the power brokers between the police, criminals, inmates, prison guards and politicians in a city completely dependent on prisons and the prisoners they contain. From TMDB

Critics, per Wikipedia
For the first season, the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 33% approval by 27 critics, with an average rating of 5.6/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Despite campaigning with a strong pedigree, Mayor of Kingstown botches its reelection chances by giving constituents too much gloom and grit and not enough reasons to care." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 54 out of 100 based on 15 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". During its debut in the US, which was simulcast on cable as a means of promotion, the series drew 2.6 million viewers linearly, making it Paramount Network's most-watched scripted premiere since 2018.

Good episode this week! Mike gets yelled at a lot! www.vulture.com/article/mayo...

neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve just finished the latest season of #MayorOfKingstown and there was definite catharsis going on here. This show, like its theme song, by Andrew Lockington, is intense and grinding and emotional. It’s difficult to watch while simultaneously loving every minute. youtu.be/QfIetfELdwo?...
positive · AI labelView post →It’s a “reality” tv show to display violent roughshod insolence. Mayor of Kingstown with real murders.

neutral · AI labelView post →There's some series called "The Mayor of Kingstown"? All I can think when I see the ads is "Kingstowne isn't incorporated, it's a giant HOA like Reston or Columbia "

positive · AI labelView post →Just watched the latest episode of Mayor of Kingstown. It’s such an amazing series. Brilliantly written, superbly acted. It’s right up there with any other top series I’ve ever watched. Can’t recommend it highly enough if you haven’t seen it.
positive · AI labelView post →Mayor of Kingstown is the Mastermind's favorite show? Yikes
negative · AI labelView post →After I finished watching Lioness, paramount plus recommended Mayor of Kingstown. I watched the first 30 minutes and hate every character on the show. I’m not too proud to admit that I love a good villain and or anti-hero, but geez these guys are completely unloveable.

positive · AI labelView post →I canceled my subscription yesterday. Fuck them. I only had it for the Yellowstone (et al), Lioness, and Mayor of Kingstown series. That new Dutton Ranch series and Landman suck anyway. Lioness and Mayor of Kingstown will be missed.
positive · AI labelView post →He's signed with Paramount until 2029 I believe. Thats when his NBC deal kicks in. Not 100% positive on that, but Yeah He makes some pretty good Television. I know the next season of Mayor of Kingstown is the last. Show is Great, but Brutal.

neutral · AI labelView post →Today's announcement that Mayor Of Kingstown has been renewed for a fifth and final (and shortened) season reminds me that I never posted my review of the S4 finale. I really liked how this season started and even gave Ep8 a 4-star review. But the last two? Oof. www.vulture.com/article/mayo...
neutral · AI labelView post →Finished the most recent season of Mayor of Kingstown. A great series, but man does it really stress you out. Tension is always high and they have no problem upsetting or pissing of the viewer. Unapologetic. Stressful. Depressing. Gritty. One of my favorite shows tho.
positive · AI labelView post →Hope everybody's holidays are going great, this week we recapped the second-to-last episode (of the season? Of the series? Who knows!) of Mayor of Kingstown, which bombarded us for 47 minutes with death, torture, betrayal, plot twists and excrement MERRY CHRISTMAS! pixelatedgeek.com/2025/12/bina...

neutral · AI labelView post →Do you mean Mayor of Kingstown? Although your name is slightly more accurate, series co-creator Hugh Dillon did base it on Kingston, ON (our home town). They film some of it here in Kingston Penitentiary, which is not in use anymore, except for tours and filming.

neutral · AI labelView post →www.imdb.com/title/tt1171... Took on a 7 day trial of Paramount+ to binge the second season of this and both are disappointing. The selection of content is poor and the Mayor of Kingstown is silly clichéd nonsense. Will be opting out and not renewing.
negative · AI labelView post →Epstein and his bros mirror the plot line of the Taylor Sheridan show "Mayor of Kingstown" just a different setting, with Epstein as the Mayor/fixer. We don't know how Jeremy Renner's character earns any money either. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/u...
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyone else have a show or movie you watch or enjoy but don’t really know why? I keep watching Mayor of Kingstown but I don’t like Jeremy, the rest of the cast is meh, it’s very over the top prison (not in a good way like Oz), none of the other cast members make me excited, but I keep watching it.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm pretty sure there's not a single scene where Jeremy Renner's character eats even a morsal of food in the entire Mayor of Kingstown television series.
neutral · AI labelView post →Currently the most lucrative creator in the industry. Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King, Lioness, Landman. Paramount’s strategy has been to follow Sheridan to the flyover states. He’ll leave a massive hole.

neutral · AI labelView post →To be fair, I can't remember the last time I watched a UK music TV channel. And when I did, it was almost never MTV. MTV were at their height when they did other programs, like Cribbs and Beavis & Butthead. Pretty sure they've had some other good shows recently too, but they're aired on other networks. I've definitely seen their logo at the start. It's weird though, I've just tried looking up what the shows might have been, but all I see is reality crap - it's almost like they don't want to…
neutral · AI labelView post →This song got me to watch at least the first season of Mayor of Kingstown. I don't really give a fuck about the show but a stripper did a performance to Die Without You and I immediately went "goddamn they cooked here"

neutral · AI labelView post →Every Taylor Sheridan series. One sees when he done and takes a hatchet to an otherwise perfect run in his series, Yellowstone, being a glaring example & 1923 another. Then there's Mayor of Kingstown. Never a hope for his series idolizing Sylvester Stallone, the man has the same role in every film.
