I’ve always liked Stallone, over the years, yes he’s addicted to sequels, but he’s made some really enjoyable movies with a few classics sprinkled in along the way. King in Tulsa could very well be his best work just from an acting perspective, he just nails the role of a mafia capo stone cold.
Fun to watch, worth watching
The series itself has an interesting story, it’s well written making full use of the humor of the New York mobsters in Tulsa Oklahoma without going all silly, it brings in a healthy dose of violence, good writing and dialogue, and a great supporting cast and characters, and they have a winner. Check out the recap of "Yellowstone" Season 5, Part 2, "Squid Game" Season 2 and more of the most anticipated new and returning series coming to TV and streaming.
