Tulsa King: Season 1

"A curiously breezy crime drama tailormade for (Stallone's) affable personality."

"Tulsa King is a clumsy misfire, but when the show works, it works precisely because of Stallone’s charming, if characteristically mannered, performance."

"A classic fish out of water story that plays to Stallone’s strengths."

"It's the kind of show that knows its audience and isn't trying to woo over any naysayers."

"Flimsy..."

"A silly drama that could turn into a low-key comedy."

"This show is to The Sopranos what Paw Patrol is to the works of David Attenborough."

"A cackling good time..."

"Sheridan... wants to have some fun with the idea and the character... And Stallone is all too happy to play along and show off some comic timing he rarely gets to display."

"if you’re in the market for Stallone in a role that can best be described as “Jack Reacher, but old and Italian,” you’re going to have some fun."

"When Tulsa King coasts on its winking, knowing comedy, it’s gangbusters."

"All of this conforms to the Stallone playbook, although the premise is an intriguing one..."

"Tulsa King should be better."

"Bad Goodfellas fan fiction."

"A slim vehicle for Sylvester Stallone that’s a little too overtly designed as a mobster fish out of water."

"The show is a well-balanced blend of Sheridan's finger-on-the-pulse-of-real-America modern Western, Winter's mob expertise, and Stallone's tough-guy sentimentality. It's also the funniest thing Sheridan has ever done."

"(Stallone's) got charm and presence and comes with a lot of cultural capital, and he’s surrounded by expert players..."

"Tulsa ranks as another sturdy chapter in the volume of prestigious, showy 21st century antiheroism."
