A third tweeted: "Show aside. Just take care of yourself. Get strong. Heal up. The world needs you." 

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the drama, it's an action-packed prison thriller set in the fictional town of Kingstown, Michigan, where "the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry." 

It follows the McLuskys, a local family who are described as "power brokers between police, criminals, inmates, prison guards and politicians."

One of the show's producers, Antoine Fuqua, described the thriller to The Hollywood Reporter: "The series offers a comprehensive look into the brutal prison system where sociopolitical issues run rampant. Prisons are a forgotten world to most of the population and yet represent a microcosm of society as a whole."

Mayor of Kingstown seasons one and two are available to stream on Paramount +.
