The result is the perfect marriage of actor and material, with Stallone relying on his trademark formula of charisma, intimidating physicality and clever dialogue uttered in a low, often self-deprecating growl.
When “Tulsa King” coasts on its winking, knowing comedy, it’s gangbusters. ... The show around him occasionally struggles to keep up—Garrett Hedlund, Dana Delaney, and Annabella Sciorra are barely present, despite occupying significant space in the credits and press materials. But it’s worth sticking around to see what role they’ll play in Sly’s most interesting ride into the sunset.

Cool story. Action- and humor-packed. Stallone is doing great. Fun to watch, I binged almost an entire season in one evening.

The series was the surprise success of the year for me. Great series with a fantastic, outstanding Sylvester Stallone in the lead role. The man is simply amazing! At the proud age of 77, he shows it to everyone. Even the supporting roles, all well cast, TOP casting! This is how you make an exciting series. You need strong will and passion for the film. Then everything works! TOP! BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO!

Through the two episodes given to critics, it piques just enough interest to merit another episode or two, and if it ends there, so be it; it won’t be time poorly spent. Like Tulsa itself, it may not be the most appealing destination in the world, but come in with the right attitude, and you’ll have more fun than you expected.
Once the newness of Tulsa wears off for Dwight, he’ll need to find fresh comedic sources, and there’s no telling what those might be — or if the series will simply lose its loose, laidback vibes altogether. But for now, “Tulsa King” is a much-needed light amid Sheridan’s dark universe — and much of it is thanks to its star.
A dramedy that is implausible, corny and yet quite enjoyable. Tulsa King will win no prizes for nuance or plot. ... It is watchable, despite many things not adding up.
A slim vehicle for Sylvester Stallone that’s a little too overtly designed as a mobster fish out of water.
Every plot point is so absurd, each line of dialogue so corny that "Tulsa" is a compounding engine of cringe, at least in the first two episodes made available for review out of nine in total. It's like one of those cheesy direct-to-video "Geezer Teaser" action films, but longer to sit through.

Ce bon vieux Sly tient toujours la forme !… avec bien sûr un peu d’aide de quelques charcudocs… mais le voir distribuer quelques pains (quelle générosité)… comme s’il avait toujours 40 piges, ça fait tout de même bizarre. Mais le pire à voir, c’est de le regarder parader comme à la parade, sans arrêt !
Certes, on sait qu’il a chopé le melon depuis longtemps déjà mais selon ses rôles (parfois, du moins certains), il savait se mettre justement au service du rôle… comme dans les premiers Rambo et Rocky… Mais ici, il parade, il claironne, il radote, il ringarde, il ringardise… il se ringardise lui-même ! mais sans être drôle pour autant, même au second ou troisième degré.
Et c’est fatigant, très fatigant… et très énervant aussi. Comme le ton général de la série ou le manque de ton peut-être. Qu’est-ce donc au fait ? une comédie ? pas réellement. Une série policière ? pas vraiment. Et puis, on est où là, dans ce patelin de merde du fond du trou de balle des états réunis de l’Amérique à blaireaux ?
Et c’est quoi cette histoire complètement invraisemblable, tous ces évènements qui laissent incrédule, ces dialogues ratés et ridicules à la fois ? cette fausse nostalgie de vieux con sur le retour ? et ce rythme en dents de scie et toujours plus mollasson à chaque fois…
Pourtant les épisodes sont en nombre limité (9) et souvent assez courts (moins de 40 mn avec le résumé). Qu’est-ce qu’ils ont foutu, franchement ? on nage dans les clichés périmés et le grotesque à la limite de la bouffonnerie ! c’est navrant.
