Mayor of Kingstown
— I was sucked into this gritty crime drama set in a town where a prison seems to be the overwhelming presence and big business and a mother and her two sons influence a lot of what goes on. Dianne Wiest and Jeremy Renner are both wonderful and over the course of 10 episodes it manages to touch on issues of systemic racism, corruption, and inequality. I liked it but it’s pretty bleak in many ways.
[Paramount+ streaming.]
