TV fans have been raving about an Amazon Prime Video series, despite it having been released over a decade ago.
Boss is a US political drama starring actor Kelsey Grammer. The 80 year old star plays the mayor of Chicago, Tom Kane, in the series, which also stars Hannah Ware and Connie Nielsen.
In the show, Tom is diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, which he is concealing from his team as he attempts to continue with his political career. Hannah plays Tom’s daughter Emma Kane, while Connie portrays Emma, his wife.
Boss first aired on Starz in 2011 and ran for two seasons before being cancelled in 2012. Despite the series being over a decade old, TV fans are still watching it and recommending it to others, describing it as “one of the best” shows on TV.

On Google, one fan penned: “This show is AMAZING!!!! A true 5 star! I wish the series was still on because I put it up there with Dexter and Breaking Bad. This show had everything: Sex, drugs, hot actors, a great script, Kelsey Grammar (P.S. I love his play-on name b/c he does speak English so well!), politics and the list goes on. If you haven’t seen it, you need to watch it.”
Echoing their sentiment, another added: “Boss is one of those shows you cannot get enough of. The super amazing and talented cast led by Kelsey Grammer – I wish that someone pulls back this show and see a third season. I recommend this show to all the people I know. It’s excellent.”
Meanwhile, a third Boss fan said: “This show is amazing the characters are really convincing, Kelsey Grammer is the best in this. One thing I can say is you cannot mess with the mayor, the way how he gathered them up all together priceless. The payback for being backstab, lied to cheating and going behind his back, everyone is getting what they deserve.”

A fourth viewer branded the show “one of the best shows ever seen on TV”, praising the writers as “geniuses” and the cast as “awesome”.
The synopsis for Boss reads: “Mayor Tom Kane is King of Chicago and he rules his domain with an iron fist. Deception, scandal, and betrayal go hand in hand with Kane’s form of politics. As long as he gets the job done, the people of Chicago look the other way, Despite being the most effective mayor in recent history, Kane is hiding a dark secret.”
Boss is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
