Manfredi: I don’t really go to church

Chronology

Following his release from prison, mob captain Dwight “The General” Manfredi is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he builds a new criminal empire with a cast of unlikely characters. The opening credits sequence shows various photographic and painted vistas as well as Oklahoma landmarks imposed on the New York City landscape: A statue of Sioux Indian chief “Touch the Clouds”; wearing a war bonnet and bone choker necklace (breastplate) imposed on top of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Gilded statue of the Driller imposed on the Statue of Liberty. Route 66 Western Gateway Arch imposed on a major Manhattan “avenues.” In New York City, in the borough of Manhattan, there are several “Avenues” that are bisected by smaller numbered streets.

In Tulsa King it might very well be his best work from an acting perspective, he’s just cold-bloodedly playing the role of a mob boss

I’ve always liked Stallone, over the years yes he’s addicted to sequels but he’s made some really fun movies, sprinkling in some classics along the way. The series itself has an interesting story, is well-written making the most of the humor of a New York mobster in Tulsa Oklahoma without becoming silly at all, adding a good dose of violence, good writing and dialogue, and a great cast of actors and supporting characters and you’ve got a winner.

It’s fun to watch, well worth checking out
