Not to start a battle but the only one on my never-never, ever list is Hanoi Jane.

Just as "True Grit" was the ONLY real acting that non-actor and draft-dodger John Wayne ever did, so "Tulsa King" is Stallone's chance to prove that, despite the evidence of the past 35 years, he can act...

There have always been formula movies with actors playing formula parts. I like some of them, some of them are just payback appearances for their friends, some are pure garbage.
Over time, the box office seems to vote with dollars for the "actors/stars" that people like and continue to watch.
Not sure if that is the mark of a good actor, star or just a pretty face.

As for Stallone; Someone, somewhere is making money on him and they keep paying him to be in their pictures.
 
Finally found the episode I missed a few nights ago. It was the one where he returned to NY for his brother's funeral and found out one of his posse that was supposed to be taking care of his family molested his daughter. The brutality of his attack on that guy reminded me of the one Tony Saprano did on one of those episodes. He had promised his daughter he wouldn't kill the perp but I bet the perp wished he had. Edit: After watching last night's episode Dwight told his daughter he had killed the perp.

One more thing to add; I use my streaming to catch up on movies most of the time but Tulsa King joins Justified, The Old Man (here comes season 2!!), Reacher (also season 3 coming down the road woohoo), The Terminal List, Bodyguard (Netflix series not Costner movie) and Jack Ryan as series that made me glad to have the services that run them.
 
I enjoyed the first two episodes when it was a clever fish out of water story. Then the show devolved into simplistic crime drama and the plot was set on easy mode. Things just keep working out for the protagonist and everyonejust loves the guy.

I guess I am the outlier. I watched the first episode and thought it was dumb. It felt like Stallone and the producers were trying to capture some of the feeling of "The Sopranos" but failed totally. Something about it just seemed so fake that I couldn't keep myself interested and never bothered with another episode.

But while I'm here on this thread I'll recommend a good cop series. Its called "BLue Lights", on Prime Video and takes place within the police force of Northern Ireland.
 
Things are heating up this new season. :eek:;) Just binge watched 4 episodes yesterday.

The General must be related to Rip. :eek: :D

I guess its just me, but I normally have enjoyed almost anything Stallone has done. But this show turned me off. I watched the first episode of season one and something about the character was so distasteful that I did not enjoy watching it. No interest at all in Season 2.

I'm just the opposite, I never cared much for any movie he's been in, but enjoy Tulsa King.
 
Dana Delany on Tulsa King? Sign me up. I've been carrying a torch for that girl since China Beach. Where can I watch this show? How many seasons behind am I? I can stomach "Yo Adrian" for a healthy dose of Dana Delany!
 
I love this series, Sly is fantastic with all his years, I like that they gave him the 629 3 inches, it's perfect for the character. I find him really good and ironic, finally a star who deserves this attribute.
I saw the ninth episode of the second season yesterday.
Sheridan hit the mark with this series.
