Tulsa King returns: Stallone triumphs in gripping new season

On September 18, a new episode of one of the most popular streaming series premiered on the SkyShowtime platform. We're talking about the production "Tulsa King," starring the indestructible Sylvester Stallone (the actor 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 welcomed in New York, and 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 is 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 dialogues, which allowed Stallone to enchant viewers with "his dry sense of humour 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. Since only the first episode has aired, few reviews are available yet. However, a journalist from "Decider" mentioned that the thrill of watching Dwight and his team outsmart everyone in Tulsa and Brooklyn is so enjoyable that the story is unlikely to become stale or uninteresting 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.
