Mayor of Kingstown

Jeremy Renner stars in this gritty drama, Mayor of Kingstown (not to be confused with the Kate Winslet drama, Mare of Easttown, which is also available on Sky now).

The series follows the McLusky family, who are power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry.

Attempting to bring order to a town that has neither, the McLusky family lead a fragile peace-keeping mission, acting as mediators between street gangs, cops, prisoners, and guards.

When their leader Mitch McLusky dies, his younger brother Mike (Renner) takes 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.

While he is spared execution, he is instead banished by a Soviet tribunal to an attic room in the opulent Hotel Metropol, and threatened with death if he ever sets foot outside again.

As the years pass, and some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history unfold outside the hotel’s doors, Rostov’s reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.

As he builds a new life within the walls of the hotel, he discovers the true value of friendship, family, and love.

The pair think they are quids in, but soon they need to keep their minds in check as business and pleasure begin to grapple for their focus, as their friendship is put to the test.

The Duttons – in the main series led by Kevin Coster as patriarch John – have a fight on their hands when it comes to land and power, especially with land developers and the Native American land which surrounds their borders.
