   "Boss” is the “The Wire”-influenced, modern Starz version of All the King’s Men, a tale of a Chicago political machine, insidious compromises, and the tragic downfall of a man too overbearing, too ruthless and too unlikable to be a hero, and too compelling, too hypnotizing to be a true villain. It’s the meatiest television role of Kelsey Grammer’s career, and he tears up every scene he’s in, like a man hellbent on strangling the memory of Frasier Crane and replacing it with Huey P. Long by way of King Lear cum Stringer Bell. It is a stunning and powerful performance, and while few would doubt that the multiple Emmy winner had it in him, it’s nevertheless intoxicating to witness."
