In fact, I love everything Taylor Sheridan does, so I knew this would be no different
This is a fun cop show that knows exactly what it wants to be and you can tell the cast, led by Sylvester Stallone, is having a blast making it. It’s about a New York mob boss named Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone) who is released from prison after 25 years. He thinks he’s being welcomed as a hero, but he’s sent to Tulsa to run things.
It’s obviously doing well because it’s already been renewed for a second season, which is great news!
After not getting the love from his gang that he thinks he should, he sets out to build his own in Tulsa. Some of it may seem a little silly, but overall it’s a really good show that’s definitely worth watching.
