I've always liked Stallone, over the years, yes he's sequel addicted but he's made some really enjoyable films scattering a few classics along the way.
In Tulsa King could very well be his best work just from an acting perspective, he's just stone cold nailing the role of a mafia capo
The series itself has an interesting story, it's well written taking full advantage of the humor of a New York mobster in Tulsa Oklahoma without becoming silly at all, throwing in a healthy dose of violence, good writing and dialogue, and a great cast of supporting actors and characters and they have a winner.
Fun to watch, well worth a look
