Well at first I thought that I wouldn't keep watching it, but since it only had a one season, I decided to give it a try.
It could have been better, yes, but it was still interesting. It had the same plot almost every episode, but the plot was interesting. But I do understand why they didn't get a second season, there wasn't really anything new they could've given to people, the plot would've still be the same every episode.
I watched the first episode of this and all in all I was pleased with what I saw there were some funny moments and some serious too I loved the gorgeous lea Michele she is just too sexy for her own damn good and I liked the story and lesson of how some times doing things for the wrong reason can have cocequinces and the mother is perfect love yevet nichole brown as it is but here she just seems fantastic I will wait till next week to make my full decision
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.

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.

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!
