We are one week away from the official television premiere of The Mayor. The publicity buzz that the show held just last week after surprise releasing the pilot online has definitely cooled down a bit which is surprising considering that the actual premiere is in under a week. The networks decision to release it early online was most likely a decision related to the hype of the show at the current time but considering it may have been too early, this could become a major mistake of the network. The Chicago Tribune, in an interview with creator Jeremy Bronson,  stated that Chance the Rapper is a loose interpretation of what The Mayor is about, being that Chance is a public activist for Chicago’s public school system and a community leader.  Bronson talked about how his idea with this show stemmed from the fact that there was no hopeful show about politics in a time in which any positivity regarding politics is not taken for granted.
