At 76, Sylvester Stallone makes his scripted TV debut in a new series from Taylor Sheridan and Terence Winter, premiering Sunday on Paramount Network.
Reilly’s visceral portrayal of Beth Dutton, the daughter of a wealthy rancher, has fans convinced she’s her character. She sometimes wishes she were.Dwight lands in Tulsa, to be greeted curbside by a grasshopper, a woman with holy water and Tyson , a jovial cab driver who, before the bags are even out of the car, has been hired as Dwight’s driver and given a wad of cash to buy a Lincoln Navigator.
Next to be introduced is Stacy , whom Dwight meets at a local cowboy bar he will return to regularly. After they sleep together, she’s shocked to learn he’s 75 — she figured him for “a hard 55” — and makes a quick, embarrassed exit. As if that weren’t enough, it turns out that Stacy’s a federal agent, and at work the next morning she discovers that Dwight is something more than the fit old guy she picked up the night before.
Goodness knows, the viewing public has a fondness for mob types behaving badly, and Stallone is convincingly tough, not just for a septuagenarian. Still, there are the customary clues designed to show that Dwight, like the boy in the, is good-bad but not evil. Whom he chooses to punch, for example — a racist car dealer, a drunk bothering a woman — and the fact that he seems a lot smarter and nicer and more sensitive than his old criminal associates.
Accordingly, the show is at its best when it steps away from the criminal plotlines and lets Dwight, who expresses some regret over his career path, show his softer side: conversing with bartender Mitch at the Bred 2 Buck Saloon; eating ice cream with Tyson; teasing Bodhi while accidentally high; or trying to make sense of a world in which “GM’s gone electric, Dylan’s gone public, a phone is a camera, and coffee — five bucks a cup! And the Stones, bless their hearts, are still on tour.
Happily, once the expository formalities are out of the way, “Tulsa King” concentrates more on character and comedy. Stallone may not be the world’s finest thespian, but he’s got charm and presence and comes with a lot of cultural capital, and he’s surrounded by expert players, including Max Casella as a mob expat and a-yet-unseen Dana Delany as a rich lady with a horse farm and wildlife preserve.
