Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky, old school, hard a$$ acting style fits this show perfectly. From the narration to the cruise through Tulsa, it just goes to show that this role is perfect for him.
Also, acting as a man of his age and style definitely helps to blend in perfectly
As for the show, the set-up for the first two episodes was great and moved along pretty quickly. It’s interesting towards the end of the season how well and how big of a twist they’ve set up.
In the meantime, if you’re a Sly fan, you definitely need to give this show a chance, even if you’re not, I still recommend it for its gangster performances
