Everything you need to know about Paramount+ thriller, Mayor of Kingstown
Mayor of Kingstown (not to be confused with the Kate Winslet drama, Mare of Easttown, which is also available on Sky Atlantic now) follows the McLusky family, who are power brokers in the fictional town of Kingstown, Michigan.
In an area where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry, the McCluskys attempt to bring law and order to a town that has neither.
It’s a fragile peace-keeping mission, with the family acting as mediators between street gangs, cops, prisoners, and guards.
When their leader Mitch McLusky dies, his younger brother Mike is forced to take over.
Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption, and inequality, Mayor of Kingstown provides a stark look at the family and what they do to survive.
From Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, Mayor of Kingstown is currently in its third season.
