Tulsa King (serial)

Season 1 and 2

Sly Stallone plays an old school, NY mobster just out of prison on a 25 year murder sentence. He comes back to a "new way of doing things" and since he doesn't fit in with the new order, he is shipped to Tulsa to be out of the way. Of course, he starts new, using his old school mafia tactics in a world that is not ready for him. Stallone has a way of simultaneously inhabiting both charming and aggressively violent, which makes this series simultaneously light-hearted and gory. Kind of average TV, but after Season 1, I was looking forward to Season 2, which continued with all the same vibe. So

3 stars (out of 5)
