Tulsa King ( Paramount Plus)

[metirish]

Never in a million years would I have thought I would like this, but two episodes in and it is funny and enjoyable.

Sylvester Stallone plays Dwight Manfredi , recently released from 25 years in prison, instead of a warm reception back in NYC he is sent to Tulsa to set up shop.

Stallone plays the ageing mafia capo to perfection, a lot of old school Mafia tropes here but it's funnier than I expected, good supporting cast too.

Odd that it took Stallone this long before he got cast as an Italian mobster.

He's played a couple. And, of course, before boxing started paying off, Rocky paid the bills by being a lower-level mob enforcer. This may be his first time playing a capo-type, though.

This had taken a downturn through seven episodes, , still fun though
