The lack of narration hurt this series. If there were only two or three mayoral candidates, that wouldn't have been an issue, but this political race was bloated and confusing. You can't just string some unnarrated clips together and hope a coherent story comes out of it. Viewers were left to guess the frontrunners, the wildcards, and the timing of everything. The series dug too deep into individual stories and rarely zoomed out to provide clear perspective.
