Tulsa King delivers
Exactly what you're looking for. Stallone hits the mark with a brooding no nonsense performance that blends humor and violence to near perfection.The classic fish out of water scenario is well played.
Right from the start the plot begins to weave together
And the first episode does a great job at setting up what looks like a stellar cast. Frankly I was pleasantly surprised.We'll see how the season unfolds but so far it's a great change of pace from some other series debuts lately.
There's no cgi to be sure
Just great characters, authentic dialogue, a smart story, and a first class cast.. See our rundown 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.
