I’ve always liked Stallone, over the years, yes he’s addicted to sequels, but has made some really entertaining films and sprinkled in a few classics along the way.

Entertaining to watch, definitely worth a look
The series itself has an interesting story, it’s well written and makes full use of the humor of a New York gangster in Tulsa, Oklahoma without getting silly. Add in a healthy dose of violence, good scripts and dialogue, and a great cast of supporting actors and characters, and you have a winner.
