The Mayor (2017) • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Dana Schwartz
Producers Jeremy Bronson (Speechless) and Hamilton alum Daveed Diggs have done the impossible: created an entirely un-cynical political parody.
New York Times
Margaret Lyons
It's practically begging to be the heir to the Modern Family throne: earnest, family-friendly, smart. (Sleep with one eye open, The Goldbergs.) It's even more sincere than Speechless, and almost as political as black-ish.
Andscape
Soraya Nadia McDonald
The premise of The Mayor is certainly interesting, but what I've seen so far doesn't necessarily make me excited about where the show will go once Courtney has to actually start governing.
The Ringer
Alison Herman
The Mayor has enough that I'll be watching it carefully.
Los Angeles Times
Lorraine Ali
"The Mayor," which premieres Tuesday, is one of the shows in this new lineup that has inspired hope - and the pilot doesn't disappoint.

Roger Catlin
The tone of this rushed effort ... makes it seem a hybrid between the forced punchlines of network sitcoms and the black-centric jokes of much better shows like Atlanta and Insecure, which work because they have space to breathe
Common Sense Media
Jenny Nixon
This is a peppy, charming comedy whose good vibes and earnest message could not be coming at a better time. The Mayor is thoughtful without being preachy.
Baltimore Sun
Kate Coiro
Hidden behind humor, a new side of Rose is revealed.
Vox
Caroline Framke
The Mayor bites off a little more than it can chew. But it also proves that it not only knows where it's going -- as it teases Courtney's real passion for his town and the support system that'll help him in his new job -- but where its strengths lie.
Refinery29
Sesali Bowen
The Mayor is a fresh, relevant, and funny new show. And it's a silver lining in our new America. If Trump can do it, someone better can do it, too.
New York Post
Michael Starr
There's nothing really bad about The Mayor and nothing, save for its (sort of) ripped-from-the-headlines narrative, that sets it apart from your average run-of-the-mill sitcom.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
All in all, it's one of the more promising debuts of the fall TV season. But it's also an expression of faith in a system, and a political future, that badly needs the hope.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
But from the first seconds of The Mayor it's apparent that [Brandon Michael] Hall is a star fully equipped to capture Courtney's casual charisma.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
Hall evokes [a] Stewart classic, Jefferson Smith in Capra's Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. TV creators could do worse than look to the films of Frank Capra for inspiration.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
The Mayor might seem like a small-scale version of another duly elected leader, but it's among the fall TV season's more promising series, with the disclaimer that the protagonist's shtick might begin to get old before he completes a season.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
... the comedy is a sweet political parody that celebrates the best in people.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
If you're like me, you could use some optimism when it comes to the ramifications of electing a clueless amateur entertainer to an executive branch position, so The Mayor could become timely and, ideally, a funny, warm-hearted salve.
Variety
Sonia Saraiya
The Mayor, like its fictional mayor, walks into its place on the schedule with self-assured swagger.
Newsday
Verne Gay
This show needs to slow down, take a breath, develop the characters and most of all, make certain Hall is on screen most of the time. He's pure charisma. His show's a pure muddle.
IndieWire
Ben Travers
It's here to subtly remind viewers of what politicians are meant to do, while entertaining them with clever humor and human stories.
