New season of 'Tulsa King' starts strong with Stallone shining

September 18 saw the premiere of a new episode of one of the most popular streaming series on the SkyShowtime platform. We're talking about the production "Tulsa King," starring the legendary Sylvester Stallone, who turned 78 on July 6. According to critics, the second season couldn't have started better.

The series "Tulsa King" debuted on the Paramount+ platform two years ago. Stallone plays an Italian-American gangster who returns to his mafia family after a long prison sentence. However, he is no longer welcome in New York. The boss, for whom he spent 25 years in prison, sends him to the forgotten city of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

A critic from "Collider" described the second season of 'Tulsa King' as having the strongest antagonists in the series. From the opening scenes, Stallone demonstrates that playing the mafia boss Dwight "The General" Manfredi is a role he was meant for. The critic said it stands out as one of Stallone's most significant and finest performances, marking a remarkable highlight in his acting career.

Sylvester Stallone dreamed of playing a gangster since the 70s when he failed to become an extra on the set of "The Godfather." He receives such praise that he hasn't heard or read in many years. "Rocky, Rambo, Tulsa King" - critics list them in one breath. Great words of appreciation also go to the creator of the series. Taylor Sheridan wrote an excellent script and dialogue, allowing Stallone to enchant viewers with his dry humor sprinkled into every sentence.

The first reviews of the second season of "Tulsa King" have appeared on Rotten Tomatoes. In all of them, critics give high ratings to the production. There are not many reviews yet, as only the first episode has premiered, but as a "Decider" journalist wrote, we take great pleasure in seeing Dwight and his crew outsmart everyone in both Tulsa and Brooklyn, making it unlikely for this story to lose its appeal or become dull anytime soon.

The series will be added to the service weekly, and the second season will consist of 10 episodes in total. Meanwhile, Stallone is moving forward and plans to star in a biopic of Gregory Scarpa Sr., a professional hitman who killed on behalf of one of the largest mafia families in New York.
