Tulsa King

I've always liked Stallone, over the years, yes he's sequel addicted but has made some really enjoyable films scattering a few classics along the way. In Tulsa King could very well be his best work just from a acting perspective, he's just stone cold nailing the role of a mafia capo. The series itself has a interesting story, it's well written taking full advantage of the humor of a New York mobster in Tulsa Oklahoma without becoming silly at all, throw in a healthy dose of violence, good writing and dialogue, and a great cast of supporting actors and characters and they have a winner. Fun to watch, well worth a look.

I really like this show . It's a bit unbelievable but mostly entertaining . The humour Stallone brings to the character ( of the writers ) evens out the bits that are absurd.

Stallone brings a nuanced performance of a recently released from prison monster. Who is given the opportunity to move to a south western state and earn for the bosses back home .

He makes the best of a situation he rather not be in .

A fish out of water no . A shark in a different ocean maybe more like it .

This looks like it's going to be a fantastic addition to a historical and legendary career of one of hollywoods greatest box office draws of all time .

Stallone is in his element and he delivers the goods .

Sylvester Stallone 's Rocky, old school, hard a$$ acting style fits this show perfectly. From narrating to cruising through Tulsa it just shows that this role is perfect for him. Also acting as a guy his age and style definitely helps to blend in perfectly. As for the show, the buil up in first two episode was great and moving pretty quickly. It will be interesting with coming towards the end of the season how good and how big twist they have prepared. In the meantime if you are Sly's fan you definitely have to give this show a chance, even if you're not, I would still recommend it for the sake of gangster shows.

I watched this out of curiosity, no high expectations, I was just surprised to see Stallone in a tv series. You feel the tension in the scenes, it also feels fairly realistic as far as the plot would demand it. Wouldn't say it's humorous but a couple funny scenes as a result of Dwight (Stallone) coming out of 25yr prison sentence and not fully integrated into the way the world works now; so I'm assuming the abrupt transition will offer some interesting hiccups for him down the line for us. I'm glad someone told him how to use an Uber, it was funny while it lasted.

It's a pretty smart script but not in a forcefully witty way which bodes well. Of course Stallone is a huge presence but the rest of the cast seem pretty good.

The show literally feels like you took gangsters written for a movie from the early 90's and just threw them into 2022, makes for a good blend of humor and violence.

I thought it was just going to be a throwaway show as some of stallion's recent movies are; mostly just leaning on his name and performances but Taylor Sheridan does a good job here with writing worthy of Stallone's performances. I think it's gonna be fun to watch macho Stallone building a criminal empire from scratch, middle of nowhere Tulsa. I love how it has this western oater feel to it at times while still being mafia. I think the show could end up going under the radar, then get buzz later on with people asking how they never caught on to it earlier, because I haven't seen that much advertisement from Paramount.

I went in with no high expectations, but if the premier episode is anything to go by this could be a really fun watch. If it keeps on like this, great, if it gets better that'll be fantastic. I'll add a rating after more episodes release and update if anything changes drastically about the show.

Likeable and relatively deep characters, plausible plot, tolerable pacing are the driving forces behind this show. Stallone is good being the main protagonist, but I like Andrea Savage and her character a lot, very nice performance. I respected a lot that Stallone is not trying to look younger when his character Dwight honestly mentions his age and how it could affect his relationships with younger woman.

Cinematography and music are nothing to write home about, both are good enough to help keep the show entertaining, but not really adding value and not standing out. My review make the show look pretty average, yet I'm rating it at 8/10 because it is a solid entertainer, not a TV/ Cinema masterpiece or tour de force.
