"Tulsa King" Proves That Sylvester Stallone Is A Gem On The Small Screen
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
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.
Here's what the fans are saying about the first few episodes of Tulsa King:
1.It's a highly entertaining, spectacular show.
If y'all not watching Tulsa King, y'all need to...Sylvester on his A game
2.No wonder it beat House of the Dragon for the biggest debut this year.
Tulsa King is becoming one of my favorite shows
3.Andor is facing arduousness keeping up.
First episode of TULSA KING: aged ex-con mobster Stallone leans on Martin Starr, who owns a dispensary in Tulsa. And I thought ANDOR was the best show on television.
4.How to tell someone you're a jailbird without telling them you're a jailbird.
Man is so used to mugshots, he forgot he's just applying for a Driver's license😂#TulsaKing
5.It gets better as the series progresses.
Tulsa King is insanely good
6.Both of these shows are from Taylor Sheridan.
Since you’re already paying for paramount + to watch Yellowstone , you should checkout Tulsa king. Wrote by the same guy Taylor Sheridan, 2 episodes in so far and I’m hooked
7.Stallone is terrific as an aged mobster.
Please allow me a quick recommendation: @TulsaKing on @paramountco plus is exceptional. Great writing and acting. @TheSlyStallone seems born to play this role almost as much as the role of Rocky. He’s that good.
8.It has started a new drinking game.
I think I’ll watch Tulsa King as a drinking game. Any time i recognize a building or notice that the scene set in Tulsa was shot somewhere else, I’ll drink.
9.Stallone's character is quite taken aback on discovering Uber.
half of Tulsa King is just Stallone confusingly reacting to modern technology and I love it
10.I can't wait for the fourth.
Watched the premiere of #tulsaking tonight. Late as usual but definitely worth watching. Second episode is good, can’t wait for the third.
11.Skeptics are having difficulty not liking the show.
#TulsaKing I didn't really want to watch a Sylvester Stallone series, but I absolutely wanted to watch an Andrea Savage series, so here we are. I actually liked it. It's a good cast, a slightly different mobster take, and...Andrea Savage.
12.Skepticism is giving way to fandom.
Ok, I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m officially a fan of Stallone’s new series Tulsa King. 🤷🏽♀️
13.Strong recommendations galore.
Have you watched Tulsa King with Sylvester Stallone yet? It’s on Paramount + and I highly recommend it 😎
14.One viewer described it as being similar to both The Sopranos and Breaking Bad.
Best new show I've seen in a while "Tulsa King" stars @TheSlyStallone It's a cross between "The Sopranos" and "Breaking Bad." Definitely worth a watch. 👍👍
15.Great casting keeps the show enriched.
#TulsaKing is quickly becoming my favorite show! The cast is phenomenal and @TheSlyStallone is beyond fantastic!
16.And it's good to see Andrea Savage in a big hit.
Tulsa King with Stallone is kind of fun. Andrea Savage is Hollywood's best kept secret.
17.Dwight and Tyson are natural friends.
I just love Dwight & Tyson’s friendship #tulsaking
18.Spectacular work from Stallone at this big age.
I’m so blown away by @TheSlyStallone performance in @TulsaKing. At 76 years old he could be enjoying retirement with all he has accomplished. He is literally doing something unprecedented. My new favorite crime thriller!!
19.Need a new show? Maybe try Tulsa King.
I got a new show. I am digging Tulsa King.
