Tulsa King

Paramount+ premiered the first episode today. Stallone's never done a tv show, so this is quite interesting. His crew sends him to take over Tulsa, and there's a bit of culture shock to a guy who spent a quarter of a century in the big house.

I visited Tulsa once. I stayed at some hotel and looked out the window at the downtown big buildings and all that, but man... what a ghost town. There was nobody on the streets, no cars... seemed like something you'd see in a zombie apocalypse. And that's where Stallone's got to set up shop? He actually sees a lot more people there than I did, otherwise the show would be really boring.

Fortunately for my lack of time to binge things, they only put out one episode at a time, but Stallone never disappoints. I can tell he's having fun playing a gangster, and it makes you wonder why he never played one before. Well, he was in John Landis's Oscar, which was pretty funny, therefore not a real gangster story. I'll stay tuned for sure.
