If you listen carefully, you can hear me shouting in deranged glee, because Mayor Of Kingstown is back for Season 2. To my extreme joy, the show is not only back and better than ever, but has surprisingly taken up the mantle of The Shield, as a pitch black crime drama with deep emotional chords, shocking explosions of violence, and gallows humor. Jeremy Renner's real-life recent brush with death only makes it more impactful to see him fully in his element here. Bizarrely, the series has consistently gotten mixed to negative reviews from television critics. But look at the audience score on RottenTomatoes and you'll see there is a passionate fan base out there for this series.
