January Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss6 of 23
"Mr. Mayor" | Series Premieres Thursday, Jan. 7 on NBC
Plot: Retired businessman Neil Bremer decides to run for mayor of Los Angeles and surprises everyone — including himself — when he wins the seat. Now the question is: How exactly does someone govern a city?
Our Take: I didn't think TV life could get better once Holly Hunter appeared on "Succession," so to see her team up with Mayor Ted Danson for a sitcom about a misguided businessman who just might be a fit politician makes me atypically excited for a network TV show. The fact that it's from Tina Fey and her go-to creative partner, Robert Carlock, gets an extra vote of approval from me. — Arno
