Critics Consensus

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.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Sheridan is in his element when it comes to creating male characters with a tendency towards sudden, shocking violence. Subtlety is not his forte -- but, even so, his concerns about private prisons are likely to slide past most of the red-state viewers. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 11, 2021 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Renner's ferociously powerful performance is the best thing about The Mayor of Kingstown, a gritty, highly pedigreed, impressively photographed and well-acted series... Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 20, 2021 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com Unless the story improves significantly, it's hard to imagine a scenario in which Mayor of Kingstown gets reelected. Nov 16, 2021 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Sheridan and his series languish in the worst aspects of humanity. Gone are the moral quandaries and brilliance of Sicario or Wind River. Instead, Sheridan crafts one of his worst projects to date. Rated: 2/10 May 29, 2024 Full Review Tim Stevens The Spool If you don’t care for [Taylor Sheridan's] previous efforts, though? Well, it’s probably not a bad idea to skip the Kingstown exit while driving I-75. Jan 13, 2023 Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) Taylor Sheridan has become the modern western storyteller. [Full review in Spanish] Dec 23, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Jan V Amazing series. Finally a TV show that shows how it is instead of giving us a wishful thinking narrative. Shades of The Wire and The Shield. Cast is great, not sure is Renner is the best choice for the lead though. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/24 Full Review Derek B Best show on TV Jeremy Renner is phenomenal season four is a must Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Abdiel S This pilot may be top 10 OAT why do big Disney shows get such good ratings by top critics and good shows get bad reviews , it’s like if they being pay for , the audience ratings is the only one I care about Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Dave S We just started watching this after seeing countless ads for it. A solid first episode. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Bernd B I rather believe in Santa Claus than the plot of this series Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Laurence S This is seriously good TV. If you liked the Wire, then MoK is right up your alley. While it is more fictional, one still gets a good idea of yet another seedy side of society that lie’s beneath. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
