...On Paramount + (or whatever it's going to be called soon).
Sylvester Stallone is Dwight 'The General' Manfredi, a New York capo who did 25 the hard way - never broke, never flipped, every last minute. Getting out, he discovers that the family has nothing for him in NYC - but they'd like to expand to Tulsa, Oklahoma....
I'm not exaggerating when I say this may well be Stallone's best performance ever. My mom's people were off-the-boat Italian, and Stallone (plus the rest of the Family and family cast) absolutely nails it. The plot - too well executed to give it away - is a combination of buddy comedy, fish-out-of-water, and Mafioso with a bit of Breaking Bad thrown in. Five stars.

PS - when I'm done with this, I'm going to check out 'Samaritan', with Stallone as a retired super hero.
'Tulsa King'...
Re: 'Tulsa King'...
I liked it.
It is a bit modern in places with very diverse characters to tick the boxes, but regardless, it's still pretty good.

Re: 'Tulsa King'...
It’s a great show. Everything showrunner Taylor Sheridan touches seems to turn into gold, so I recommend checking out the other shows that he’s done as well.
