  • So… Doctor Who Just Regenerated Into Rose Tyler?

    According to writer Robert Shearman, the 15th Doctor’s regeneration into Billie Piper has basically put a full stop on the entire Doctor Who story. That’s a wild way to end things if he’s right. After all these years, do you think this is a fitting way to close the loop or does it feel more like the show’s run out of ideas?

Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 Is Exciting, but it is time to wrap the show


Mike McLusky is the one role I believe Jeremy Renner desperately needed after his disastrous time in the MCU as Hawkeye. Let's face it, he was always out of place as Hawkeye. Meanwhile, Mayor of Kingstown has thrived on the sidelines of Taylor Sheridan's best TV shows, outlasting even the mighty 1923, which is astonishing.
In case you haven't watched it, Renner plays Mike McLusky, the power broker in a lawless town in Michigan where prisons are the only working industry and gangs practically run the city. Tobi Bamtefa delivers one of the best performances on a crime drama, and so far, the story has been deep and touching as the stakes keep growing with each season.
There were signs of repetition in the third season, though, and now, with the main villain probably dead, it makes little sense to keep dragging the show. It will still be nice to see whether the city's crime-life consumes Mike as it did the rest of his family.MOK_UNIT_101_060421_EM_38_R_c.webp
 
Yeah, Renner really found his groove in Mayor of Kingstown, he feels a lot more at home in that role than he ever did as Hawkeye. Tobi Bamtefa is incredible too. I agree though, the story’s starting to feel a bit stretched, so wrapping it up soon might actually give it a stronger ending instead of dragging it out.
