A rede ABC divulgou as fotos e o primeiro trailer da nova série de comédia “The Mayor”. A prévia é bem divertida, ainda que a ideia da eleição de um rapper negro da periferia para um cargo político importante não seja inédita – veja-se o filme “Ali G Indahouse” (2002).
Criada por Jeremy Bronson (roteirista de “The Mindy Project”), a série gira em torno de um jovem rapper iniciante que resolve se candidatar a prefeito para tornar seu nome conhecido e conseguir um contrato com uma gravadora. Mas, como mostra o trailer, ele se sai muito melhor que o esperado e acaba sendo eleito. A premissa é instigante e daria um bom filme de comédia. Resta saber como isso será esticado numa série semanal.
O elenco destaca Brandon Micheal Hall (série “Search Party”) como o prefeito rapper, Yvette Nicole Brown (série “The Odd Couple”) como sua mãe e Lea Michele (série “Scream Queens”), ex-funcionária do candidato rival, que vira chefe do gabinete do jovem inexperiente. David Spade (“Gente Grande”) também participa como o adversário político.
O piloto foi dirigido por James Griffith (série “Episodes”) e a exibição vai acontecer às terças na temporada de outono nos Estados Unidos.
