Summer Slack Streaming - Tulsa King - Season One

Tulsa King was my surprise pick for Summer Slack Streaming. I picked it up late in the piece. I smashed eight episodes back to back. Then the ninth and final episode of season one dropped. Wow!

What a short, sharp series starring the one & only Sylvester Stallone. Created by Yellowstone/Paramount+ king content creator, Taylor Sheridan, Tulsa King packs a punch!

Paramount+ has delivered some decent local and international content, with even more on the way, including series like 1923 currently streaming.

Stallone plays the lead, a Mafia capo who just got out of prison and is sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he tries to set up a criminal organization. It premiered mid November, concluding just this Monday.

The series has already been renewed for a second season. And man did the finale set up a BIG second season.

Dwight "The General" Manfredi (Stallone) is a New York Mafia capo who's just finished serving a 25-year prison sentence. Upon release, his boss sends him to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to establish criminal operations there. Not knowing anyone in the area, The General seeks a new crew to help establish his empire.

With his "village people" crew Stallone sets up a big business operation in Tulsa, whilst also upsetting, romancing some of the locals.

I enjoyed Tulsa King, WAY more than I expected. The nine episodes were hella easy to get through.

If you need another summer series to add to the list, make it Tulsa King on Paramount+.
