In New York City, in the Borough of Manhattan, that are several numbered "Avenues" that are criss-crossed by smaller numbered streets.. 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.
Everything he touches turns to gold
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.
I mean come on?
Also, one of the other writers is Terence Winter who wrote shows like The Sopranos & Boardwalk Empire. 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
