Young priest, Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor), who recently joined the church, is held responsible for the murder, though Blanc believes he is innocent. Jud works with Blanc to find the real killer, but as the narrative proceeds, shocking revelations make the complicated case increasingly surreal.

Cross teams up with the program’s sole surviving doctor, Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz), to find a way to get back at Byer and make him pay for his sins.

1. Mayor of Kingstown (2021- )
Created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon, ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ features Renner as Mike McLusky (Jeremy Renner), the mayor of the town of Kingstown, whose prison system takes center stage in the show. Mike and his team of Kingstown cops, including his younger brother, Mitch (Taylor Handley), maintain peace among the different gangs, keeping crime to a minimum and preventing outside forces from entering Kingstown and disrupting the balance. This naturally makes Mike and his near and dear ones potential targets for his enemies, and the show uses these dynamics to showcase a stunning prison drama with well-developed characters and strong plotlines.
