Sly Stallone's new TV series

[Ray Carter]

"Hailing from Taylor Sheridan and Terence Winter, Tulsa King follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Stallone), who, as he’s released from prison after 25 years, is unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, OK. Realizing that his mob family might not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a “crew” from a group of unlikely characters to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet."

 

Sounds similar to the plot to Vice City. Mobster released from prison and sent away to set up operations in another City. I doubt Stallone will be playing a Vercetti-type role, but sounds like an interesting show anyway.

You'd be surprised, there was an Australian biker movie a few years ago that had the same premise as TLAD, the president gets out of jail and starts f*cking sh*t up and the vice president is like "oh no".

 

Come to think of it, the premise for that Sly Stallone thing sounds a lot like Vito's backstory in Mafia 3. I dunno, maybe there's only so many plots out there and we've nearly used them all up
