Tom Kane (Kelsey Grammar), the Mayor of Chicago, is secretly suffering from dementia. He is a powerful corrupt political animal. He relishes crushing his opponents, and expects nothing less than submission from his supporters. He doesn't let morality get into the way and his family is not above his wrath.
For the first season, it was a compelling intense watch. The universe of political characters are interesting but the complete lack of any redeeming characteristics in Mayor Tom Kane really wore me down. Kelsey Grammar's performance is great but it's too much. The second season becomes unwatchable as it is clear that it's more of the same. It's a grind to watch a main character that you'd rather kill in real life. This show has no silver linings.
