"Tulsa King" Proves That Sylvester Stallone Is A Gem On The Small Screen
Three episodes in, and Tulsa King is already proving to be remarkably popular with viewers. It's so popular that it has beaten HBO’s House of the Dragon as cable’s highest-rated series debut this year and has been renewed for a second season.
Tulsa King is a gangster comedy conceived by the minds of Terence Winter (creator of Boardwalk Empire) and Taylor Sheridan (creator of Yellowstone). It relates the tale of an aging Mafia capo, Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone), who has just served 25 years in prison and has been "banished" to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to set up new operations. In Tulsa, he commences the usual Mafia operations to mint money, and grapples with issues like smartphones, apps, gender pronouns, etc.
