I avoided it thinking it would be schlock but I have to admit I've been entertained by Stallone's over the top mob capo role.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Never liked that guy. Too much a typical jersey guido. His momma loves him and he knows a guy who knows a guy. I worked for a company that relocated a few thousand people from NJ to MD a number of years ago. The Gen Xers are all like that. My favorite example was a guy who bragged about having a connection for leaf blowers. Two weeks later, he's got a new Stihl backpack and laughing about how much of a deal he got from his "guy," including telling us the dollar amount. I had the same Stihl at home, he paid more than I did at the store. Many of the relocated employees quickly quit to work back in NJ because they couldn't handle the lack of beaches or being 2-3 hours away from their families. Kharn |

Totally stupid.
He walks into a store and knocks out a guy with a can and they do not call the cops because he is a tough guy? He would be back in prison for another 25. What horseshit. |

I lived in OKC/Edmond for three years. My old boss tried to tell me there are it-talians and ah-talians. I told him there are Italians and the difference is the individual person's pronunciation. He insisted they were different people. I thought good god, where the fuck did I just relocate to. We squared things away once I asked him where the ah-talians were from.
We are three episodes in and no one has mentioned ranch dressing or blessed anyone's heart. No one is complaining about the weather. IDK about that. |

It isn't that great, the entire fish out of water plot along with the supporting elements for it are substandard. The writing is lazy, the acting is subpar, and the direction it is going it too predictable. I've seen worse, but I've seen far better.

I may watch out of total boredom but it's no Yellowstone, not even close y. Based on my (very) limited knowledge of storyline/scriptwriting/producing, the biggest difference I see between this and Yellowstone is that Tulsa King only seems to(so far) have one storyline going on. In Yellowstone, you could conceivably have an entire episode without even seeing John Dutton. Hell,... Monica, Beth, and Jamie could each dominate a single episode. What makes that enjoyable for me is the way the storylines of each of them come back to intertwine into a new direction. Tulsa King so far lacks that, and I don't see the potential for that developing. |

This show is clearly more for the Tom Selleck Blue Bloods viewer demographic of 70 year old retirees. The pacing, writing, etc.... reminds me more of 1980s television than today. It is like watching a bad b-movie because it is so bad, it is funny.

Decides to steal from them for "protection" instead of using some brain cells to team up and expand their business legally, thus making tons of money legally and not even risking going back to prison. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It def has parts that are not believable, but I still find it pretty entertaining... Its getting worse with the unbelievable! - Seems like the first few episodes - it was higher on the drama, took itself more seriously Jokes and comedy were not the priority, but it did use a lot of them. The previous to last episode with him training the crew on how to shoot (as if a NY ex con is going to teach OK-ies how to shoot??) was written like an 80s episode of the A-team where Hannibal gets BA to train the local townies how to fight. It just seem to jump a shark. Dramatic dialogue with the "Grace" character saying - we just want someone to say sorry for messing up our lives  The confrontation when the NY mob boss comes to town was laughable. ANother scene out of the 80s A-team episode. Was there a writer strike between episodes? Also: -For some odd reason - Three Months After a murderous rampage he has had no rehearsal or preparations with any legal counsel or alibi's? So we are supposed to still think he is actually in the mob with experience going through a past legal trial for a high crime and didn't counsel up? Merely for the introduction of another amateur comedian character (hippie lawyer)? -If they could hack the funds of their enemy - Why didn't they do that before? (as if they are surprised that the biker crime boss has stashed electronic funds like every crime organization?) Wait until its in the hands of the feds to attempt this? and do it from your home wi-fi in a matter of minutes? -Biker King dude knows the Feds have his Laptop - AND DOESN'T MOVE his money? He just sits there watching online and lusting over it (has nothing else better to do while on the run??) Sits there online while its emptied out??? What?? He had to think someone was going to grab it or lock it. The story does have an important subtle morale - That Organized Crime can do something the legal system can't - put bad guys away with corporal punishment and provide prosperity to some people. In truth Organized crime was at one time and in part evolved to counter corrupt systems gamed against poorer populations. -neither him or the ATF agent used a burner phone for criminal activity |

I'd say it went down pretty much as expected, except there were less overall casualties on the Stalone side because of plot armor. |

Still entertaining LOL at first I thought the trip wire triggered explosives from the sides but I guess that was just small arms fire. I don't know how anyone got out of that fatal funnel/kill box and why Stallone didn't put guys to the sides to catch anyone slipping out. In fact, I don't know why they didn't do the ambush outside when the retard bikers first rolled up since the edges of the parking lot were dense underbrush. They wouldn't have even needed cover, wait til fucktards roll up, wait til they start to park, choot 'em in the back as they're getting off their bikes and totally unprepared. Would have cut their interior renovation bill in half. Like you said though, still entertaining. And beating that bribery rap is a no-brainer. She told him she was gonna lose her job as well as saved his life so he felt bad and gave her a million bucks with absolutely no strings attached.

I'm about 7 episodes in and it's okay enough that I'll finish the season but it isn't groundbreaking or anything. To me, Stallone just doesn't ring true as a mafia guy. There are elements of Lillyhammer that I think they wanted to emulate but still do their own thing; I think Lillyhammer was wittier.
