The Mayor of Kingstown Season 2 Episode 10 ended on a major cliffhanger, leaving fans wondering if Miriam McLusky -- mother of Mike -- would survive. However, that Dianne Wiest was not on the list of names to be part of the show's third season. So we should have been prepared.
But we weren't. In true fashion, Mayor of Kingtown Season 3 Episode 1 opened with emotions -- first a funeral, then an explosion as everyone returned to their cars. Talk about setting the bar high for what to expect this season.
And instead of grieving like normal people, Mike did his mayoral duties. It's interesting to see the tightrope he has to walk to keep the peace between the gangs -- criminals and police. The dynamic he shares with his officer brothers strikes an ideal balance with his ex-con ways.
It's unclear whether things would be better or worse if his brothers stopped enabling him. His brothers aren't always better behaved than him, and they're supposed to be upstanding, law-abiding citizens. They definitely all share the trait of being hot-headed and stubborn.
Having any of them involved in the raid was a bad idea. As made obvious when Robert blew up the building instead of letting the cops make arrests. Sure, they were in a firefight with the Aryans, an all-white gang group.
But did they even have a right to be there? Like they're uber-bad guys, but are they the right bad guys for the situation? We know that Mike only gave up the group as a way to keep everyone from looking at Bunny for t.
