Sylvester Stallone’s first starring role in a television series
Narrative
After being released from prison, mob boss Dwight “The General” Manfredi is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he builds a new criminal empire with a group of unlikely characters.. Non-descriptive character: Where do you pray?Dwight “The General” Manfredi: I don’t really go to church.. The opening credits sequence shows various photographic and painted views and landmarks of Oklahoma imposed on the New York City landscape: A statue of Sioux Indian Chief “Touch the Clouds” wearing a war bonnet and a bone necklace (armor) imposed on top of the Brooklyn Bridge.

The Golden Driller statue imposed on the Statue of Liberty. Route 66 Western Gateway Arch imposed on a major “Avenue” in Manhattan. In New York City, in the Borough of Manhattan, there are several numbered “Avenues” that are intersected by smaller numbered streets.
I don’t think any other actor could have played this role
Sly is bigger than the small screen and has given the best lines in this series. I’ve only seen the first episode on YT, I don’t have Paramount, but if there were more coming out on YT I would definitely watch it. His supporting cast is anonymous, I didn’t recognize any of the other actors.
Age does him good
And filming in Tulsa gives the series “flavor” compared to shooting on a backlot in Hollywood. I think Stallone has hit his peak with the Creed movies and this TV series. I’m glad he’s away from those action movies, which I think he’s outgrown.
This is the right choice for him
