Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
SnoopyStyle In the downtrodden community of Fort Grey, Cal, aspiring rapper Courtney Rose (Brandon Micheal Hall) runs for mayor to promote his music. T.K. Clifton (Marcel Spears) and Jermaine Leforge (Bernard David Jones) are his best friends and entourage. He lives with his postal worker mom Dina Rose (Yvette Nicole Brown). Former schoolmate Valentina Barella (Lea Michele) runs the opponent's campaign. With Courtney's shocking victory, Valentina volunteers to run his office. Corrupt councilman Ed Gunt (David Spade) is a political rival.The cast is amiable and the characters are sweet enough. Often, Courtney learns a lesson and grows as a character. Spade provides a good sleazy villain. It probably could have done something if given more time. The network cancels it after making 13 episodes. I actually expected it to stretch out the campaigning for the first year. That has great potential and the season could have ended with his surprise victory. Instead, this quickly turns into a standard sitcom. I'm not sure about creator Jeremy Bronson's intentions but he definitely stumbled upon a more uplifting portrayal of small city politics. It's got the underdog aspect and the feel-good lesson of the week.
Charles Herold (cherold) 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.
chrisdye-76282 after watching the first episode I have mixed feelings here I feel like this is a heartfelt sweet show that's really trying and if continues going in this direction we are in for a very nice show here however this isn't a perfect show there isn't enough comedy in my opinion for it to fit in the category of a comedy however its too much fun to be a drama its like it hasn't yet decided what it wants to be but I will wait and see what happens and plus I have a huge crush on lea Michele now just like before when I saw her for the first time I would watch the shown for her alone if I had too but I hope the show progresses as it goes on I have faith in THE MAYOR
cherrypepsi-41385 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
