The Mayor

This very funny series involves a young rapper who runs for mayor as a publicity gimmick and wins with a bold vision undercut by his complete absence of sincere commitment and political know-how.

This is a kind of weird show to come out the year we have the same situation with our president Trump, but this kid has something Trump lacks, sensible, moral advisers in the person of his mom and whatever Lea Michelle's job title is.

I found the first two episodes very funny, and the mayor and his best buds are wonderfully likable. my only criticism is that the series is essentially three likable boys mothered by two sensible women; it's not a series that thinks outside of the box.

Still, I really like it.

OK I have been watching this over the past few weeks now and though at first I didn't care for it I have completely changed my tune after last night its one of the funniest comedies this fall and it only seems to be going up from where it is now I cant wait to see more I adore this guys momma she is quotable hilarious and tells it like it is and as for lea Michele she is just as charming and beautiful as ever you got to love her latten flavor but I totally recommend this program to anyone a simply hilarious comedy

I actually liked the idea of the show and how it all started. It looks original and the comedy type is constructive and nice, maybe not Hilarious but still enjoyable and even fast in some scenes, i can see where the events are escalating to and that makes me a bit more hopeful that it'll go well maybe even for just a couple of more seasons if they kept this steadily rising rhythm. I've just read the ratings of this premiere and they looks pretty promising.

The plot is genuine and has so much potentials and could branch out to other significant sub-plots, talks about a struggling rapper who seeks popularity and apparently the "obvious" choice is why not run for Mayor, after not expecting to win he actually did and now it is his mission to keep his promises to the people to fix the town.

As for the casting, i loved that Yvette Nicole Brown is here,, watched her in Community and i loved her , i know she'll be amazing here even if the role is not extended. Brandon Micheal Hall is really funny and with his two other mates they are making a good relatable type of comedic friendship. also Lea Michele is good "personally i don't like her type of acting" i saw her in "Scream Queens" and she was "Meh" but here she could polish herself into something.

To conclude, it is not hilarious but is indeed enjoyable and i had that type of inside giggle on some scenes, so i think i'd watch where they're going next.

What a great show! I was flipping channels and found the series premiere tonight and was absolutely delighted by this comedy. Brandon Micheal Hall is a charming, fast talking, sightly self-centered Courtney Rose. Courtney, by trying to promote his music with his run for office, ends up the mayor of his town.

This comedy has a lot of heart, and the heart and common sense are centered in Courtney's mom, played by Yvette Nicole Brown. She is fabulous! She reels in her son when he goes too far, and gives him the inspiration and advice and firm talking-to he needs--along with a lot of love and confidence. What a great mom.

I was disappointed tonight when I flipped to this show and came here to IMDb. I wanted to find out a little more about it, and I saw that 42 people had rated show for an average of 5.6 before the show even aired. Come on, people, don't do that to this delightful show. Give it a shot. you'll laugh, you'll think, and you'll feel good when it is done.

There is a reason Lea Michele is no longer on TV and this is as good a reason as any. She may be a decent singer and a passable Broadway actress (over theatrical) but she is horrible on TV and in movies.

This project looked like another attempt to structure something around her. It doesn't work! The other actors in this show were just as bad. Very stiff and very predictable. Even David Spade could not save it! This was a waste of time watching and a greater waste of money making it!
