Mr. Mayor (season 2)

Being mayor is a very difficult and nerve-racking job, as is vividly demonstrated by Neil Bremer's predecessor, who ended up in the hospital with a nervous breakdown and then resigned, having decided that health was more important. Bremer himself, a successful businessman, disregarding the arguments of reason and the example of his predecessor in office, still runs, and wins, becoming the mayor of not some run-down little town, but of the whole of Los Angeles.
