Tulsa King

I figured this would be an entertaining show. We've grown accustomed to think that anything with Stallone in it nowadays would be a comedy, and Tulsa King does feature good amount of humor. But Taylor Sheridan isn't going to create a simple parody of a mob story and using Stallone as a joke and punchline.

The show has promising depth, despite the light-hearted premise of a former big shot mobster forced to make a new start in a new city after a long prison sentence. Some comedy ensues as a New York mobster finds his way around Tulsa to establish his turf using his "old world" ways.

Characters are genuinely likable across the board. While it's not unusual to root for a "bad" guy as the protagonist, his directness and old world commonsense values appeal to those of us looking for something refreshing amidst today's social nonsense. Irony in the message is that it takes a thug who bows down to no one to smash through and expose the shallow social hypocrisy. This is the same formula that made Yellowstone such a success, and Sheridan knows this is what so many of us want.

Stallone gives an excellent performance. Before he became a caricature from his later roles that drove Rocky and Rambo franchises into the ground, his acting and screen presence created those iconic roles. It's good to see him back on screen in a role that seems perfect for him, and leverage some of that cheeky persona to add depth to his character and the show, rather than undermine it.

Overall, highly entertaining show that I look forward to, and an excellent addition to Paramount+ portfolio.

I have loved Tulsa King so far. I actually love everything Taylor Sheridan does so I knew this would be no different. This is fun crime show that knows exactly what it wants to be and you can tell the cast, led by Sylvester Stallone, are all having a blast making this. It's about a New York mafia boss named Dwight "The General" Manfredi (Stallone) who is released from prison after 25 years. He thinks he coming out to a hero's welcome but gets sent to Tulsa to run things instead. After not feeling the love from his gang like he feels he should he starts to build his own in Tulsa. Some of it may come off as a little silly but overall it's a really good show that's definitely worth watching. It's obviously doing well because it's already been renewed for a second season which is great news!

Sylvester Stallone absolutely kills it in Tulsa King! For Stallone to do a tv show you knew it had to be a good script and of course it would be with Taylor Sheridan as the created. Sheridan continues to hit home run after home run. He is the best thing going on tv right now with incredible shows like Yellowstone, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, etc. And movies like Sicario, Hell or High Water and Wind River. Everything he touches turns to gold. Also, one of the other writers is Terence Winter who wrote shows like The Sopranos & Boardwalk Empire. I mean come on? There was no way this show was going to be bad with those two at the helm. It has everything you want in a good show...drama, violence, comedy, etc. Stallone plays a very likable tough guy to perfection.

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 .
