In the New York City borough of Manhattan, there are several numbered “Avenues” that are intersected by smaller numbered streets. Sylvester Stallone crushes it in Tulsa King!
Sheridan continues to hit home run after home run
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 valet. He is the best thing on TV right now with amazing shows like Yellowstone, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, etc. And movies like Sicario, Hell or High Water, and Wind River.
I mean, how on?
Everything he touches turns to gold. Plus, one of the other writers is Terence Winter, who has written shows like The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire. There was no way this show could be bad with those two at the helm.
Stallone plays a very likable tough guy to perfection
It has everything you want in a good show… drama, violence, comedy, etc. Check out our recap of “Yellowstone” Season 5, Part 2, “Round 4” Season 2, and more of the most anticipated new and returning series coming to TV and streaming.
