"Tulsa King" has an old, tired premise, with many contrived moments so you have to suspend disbelief. This is another installment from Taylor Sheridan showcasing rural America and sweeping horse ranches. This time, though, it is more of a comedy, thanks to Sylvester Stallone's endearing mix of self-deprecation and smugness. Although the large cast of characters is mostly likable, it is Stallone's "it factor" that evidently carries the show. Without him, this would just be comprised of a string of unfunny skits. I stay on week after week mostly looking forward to all of the Stallone scenes with his sidekicks, especially Martin Starr as Bodhi, Max Casella as Armand, and Jay Will as Tyson. "Tulsa King" is a fun, relaxing watch if you don't nitpick the logistics too much.
