I watched “Mayor of Kingstown” for two seasons.

Part of it are excellent—but they can’t help having scenes where a leftist teacher propagandizes their students—totally ruined several episodes.

I found myself hoping her mugger would kill her since she was obviously incapable of joining the rational human race.

;-)

At the end of season 2 they really blew it—had a five minute lecture of leftist propaganda “explaining” what the show was about...

That is brutally bad art when you have to do that.

That is what I mean by “sledgehammer” propaganda.

If they cut out the stupid scenes I mentioned the show would be solid.

On the other hand, many old shows work up the drama and suspense and seem to back themselves onto a corner that they surely cannot solve in the last 3 minutes of a 30-minute show.

But they do, even in the last 1 minute.

I love it.

Nothing tops DEI ruining the Clancy franchise with Michael B. Jordan.

And now we will never get Cardinal of the Kremlin, with most of the Red October cast still alive, and subbing Harrison Ford's Jack for Baldwin.
