I’ve always liked Stallone, over the years, yes, he’s been a sequel addict, but he’s made some really enjoyable movies with a few classics along the way. In Tulsa King might be his best work just from an acting perspective, he just coolly nails the role of a mob capo.
Fun to watch, worth checking out
The series itself has an interesting story, is well written, taking full advantage of the humor of a New York mobster in Tulsa, Oklahoma, without ever becoming funny, throws in a healthy dose of violence, good writing and dialogue, and a great cast of supporting actors and characters and they have a winner. Check out our review of "Yellowstone" Season 5 Part 2, "Squid Game" Season 2 and more of the most anticipated new series returning to TV and streaming.
