The life of Courtney Rose, a young courageous and ambitious guy, who admires music and dreams of becoming a famous rapper, has been changed completely, when he makes his mind to enter the election for the position of the mayor of his town at California, but when he wins the election, everything changes.
... the comedy is a sweet political parody that celebrates the best in people.

Faintly charming and landing an occasional punchline like that one, The Mayor is somewhat more amusing than open-mic night at a college pub, but that's about as extravagant as the praise is going to get.
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.
A feel-good show about a political upstart... That's just one of several reasons to embrace The Mayor, among the new season's very few truly original comedies. Another reason to celebrate: the star-is-born arrival of Brandon Micheal Hall.
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.
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.
