Featured in CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #457 (2022)
Sylvester Stallone’s rocking, old-school and tough acting style fits this show perfectly. From narrating to cruising around Tulsa, it just shows that this role is perfect for him. Also, playing a man of his age and style definitely helps fit in perfectly.
As for the show, the build up in the first two episodes was great and moved along pretty quickly
Towards the end of the season, it will be interesting to see how good and how big of a twist they have prepared. In the meantime, if you are Sly’s fan, you definitely have to give this show a chance, even if you are not, I would still recommend it because of the gangster shows.
