      Season 1 – Boss

      2011 Drama List
      76% 38 Reviews Tomatometer 92% 50+ Ratings Audience Score As mayor, Tom Kane is the most powerful man in Chicago, where the constituents have a history of looking the other way as long as the job gets done. And Kane has gotten things done over several terms in office; he knows the backroom politics game in the Windy City and he plays it well. Yet despite his success, Kane leads an otherwise empty existence. He has no one to turn to when he's confronted with the fact that he has a degenerative brain disorder. He's estranged from his wife, Meredith, and daughter, Emma. Kitty O'Neil, Kane's chief of staff, has her suspicions but plays the part of loyal employee, as does adviser Ezra Stone, who doesn't ask any questions. That's the way Kane likes it, of course, but he won't be able to keep his secret forever. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Feb 13 Buy Now

      K e Great show. Not sure how it wasn’t more popular. I assume it’s because it aired on Starz?

      Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Some of what happens in the pilot directed by Gus Van Sant stretches the bounds of credulity and taste, but Grammer is a force of nature. Feb 10, 2021 Full Review Ellen Gray Philadelphia Inquirer Plays out at on an operatic level that would satisfy all but the most bloodthirsty fans of The Sopranos. Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Caryn James indieWire Excessively lurid. Kane's family life begins with cliche. His marriage has deteriorated to the point where his wife (Connie Nielsen) is just political window dressing... Like Kane, Boss is dangerously close to losing control. Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media The pilot of Starz's new series Boss is impressive: very strong cast, a plethora of powerful moments throughout, and wonderfully directed by Gus Van Sant. Feb 24, 2020 Full Review Emerald Pellot PopMatters Perhaps the best show on television right now... Mortality, corruption and politics have come packaged together for ages, however the way Boss uses conventional ideas of gender as a vessel for these negative traits is compelling. Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Kari Croop Common Sense Media Boss isn't pretty, but it's certainly powerful, the kind of drama that's so grim, even the weather seems to play along. Rated: 3/5 Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
