“Mayor of Kingstown." Season 3.

“Mayor of Kingstown” (Paramount+) Season 3, crime thriller. Kingstown, Michigan, is a fictional company town where the business is incarceration. The McLusky family kept the peace (sort of) in Kingstown for decades, acting as the mediators between the street gangs, prisoners, guards, and cops. 

       Intrigue: Does a “mayor” of this vein actually exist? A power broker and gangland negotiator or “shot caller” who could be more powerful than a non-fiction Mayor? Maybe. 

       But never mind. This is TVland. Just enjoy but don't be too queasy with the “macho maddafucqa” language. These guys are hardened inmates, battle-weary cops, hellbound gangsters and narcos monsters, exasperated DAs, and the likes. 

       Jeremy Renner is Mike McLusky, caught between no way out evil and vulnerability in the crossroads. His spunk and grit are an unfailing gladiator armor but his soul is rotting in the crossfire (or that's how he feels). Ensemble acting competes with the group performance in “The Wire” and “The Shield.”

       This series could be Taylor Sheridan's best. Yup, better than “Yellowstone,” but don't waste your weekends on “Tulsa King.” You think there'll be a Season 4? Milo could be still alive, Iris is out, Kyle is in jail, and Bunny is getting more wicked. Let's go! 🎥📺📽
