The Mayor

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.

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.

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!

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.
