CBS News Sunday Morning Spotlight: Episode #457 (2022)
The Golden Driller statue superimposed on the Statue of Liberty. Route 66 Western Gateway Arch superimposed on a major Manhattan Avenue. In New York City, in the Borough of Manhattan, there are several numbered Avenues that are intersected by smaller numbered streets. I watched this out of curiosity, not with any high expectations, just surprised to see Stallone in a TV series.
Stallone is obviously a huge presence, but the rest of the cast seems pretty good
You can feel the tension in the scenes, it also seems pretty realistic for how much the plot demands it. I wouldn’t say it’s funny, but there are a couple of funny scenes as a result of Dwight (Stallone) coming out of a 25 year prison sentence and not being fully integrated into the way the world works now; so I assume the abrupt transition will provide some interesting hiccups for us in the future. I’m glad someone explained to him how to use an Uber, it was funny while it lasted. It’s a pretty clever script but not in a forcedly witty way, which is a good thing.
I love how it sometimes has this western oatmeal feel while still being mafia
The show literally feels like you took gangsters written for an early 90’s movie and just threw them into 2022, making for a good mix of humor and violence. I thought it was just going to be a throwaway show like some of Stallone’s recent movies; it mostly just relies on his name and performances, but Taylor Sheridan does a good job here with the writing worthy of Stallone’s performances. I think it will be fun to watch the macho Stallone build a criminal empire from scratch, in the middle of nowhere Tulsa. I think the show could go under the radar, then make waves later with people asking how they never discovered it before, because I haven’t seen that much hype from Paramount.
If it keeps up the good work, great, if it gets better, great
I went in without high expectations, but if the premiere episode is anything to go by, it could be a really fun watch. I’ll add a rating after more episodes are released and update if anything drastically changes with the show.
