Taylor Sheridan is famous for shows like Yellowstone and Landman, but a lesser-known series of his on Paramount+ has just achieved the highest critical praise of any TV episode he’s ever created.
While Taylor Sheridan might eventually move his projects to Peacock, he’s still a major force on Paramount+. He’s created four of the platform’s five most popular shows globally, and is largely responsible for its strong viewership as the end of 2025 approaches.
A show on Paramount+ is really standing out, earning praise from both critics and viewers. The crime drama has been building excitement throughout its recent season and is now at its best, with some even calling it a truly exceptional series.
Mayor of Kingstown Season 4 Episode 9 Has A Record-Setting IMDb Rating
As of today, the ninth episode of Mayor of Kingstown season 4 has received an impressive 9.5 rating on IMDB – a first for any series created by Taylor Sheridan. This is a significant achievement for the show, especially following the 9.0 rating of the previous episode. It also breaks the record previously held by the finale of 1923, which earned a 9.3.
The latest episode of Mayor of Kingstown is receiving very positive feedback from fans, judging by its high rating on IMDb. This comes at a key time, as Paramount+ hasn’t announced whether the show will be renewed for a fifth season, even though the fourth season has earned a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. This episode’s strong reception marks a new high for creator Taylor Sheridan.
What Makes Mayor Of Kingstown Season 4’s Penultimate Episode So Good
Jeremy Parsons / Paramount+
The ninth episode of Mayor of Kingstown‘s fourth season is exceptionally well-crafted, with a complex storyline that puts Jeremy Renner’s character, Mike McLusky, in an increasingly difficult and high-pressure situation. The episode features several surprising turns that dramatically change the course of the series, earning widespread acclaim similar to that received by acclaimed shows like Breaking Bad.
Though Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon created Mayor of Kingstown (with Dillon also acting in the series), the show’s fourth season has reached a new level of quality thanks to showrunner and executive producer Dave Erickson. While Sheridan deserves recognition for the show’s overall success, Mayor of Kingstown is truly exceptional because of the combined efforts of everyone involved – including its stunning visuals, compelling music, strong acting, and brilliant writing.
