In New York City, in the borough of Manhattan, these are a number of numbered “Avenues”; which are crisscrossed by smaller numbered streets.. Sylvester Stallone absolutely kills it in Tulsa King!
Sheridan continues to hit home run after home run
You knew that for Stallone to make a TV show, there had to be a good script and of course it would be created by Taylor Sheridan. He is the best thing happening on TV right now, with incredible shows like Yellowstone, 1883, The Mayor of Kingstown, etc. And movies like Sicario, Hell or High Water, and Wind River.
I mean like on?
Everything he touches turns to gold. One of the other writers is Terence Winter, who wrote shows like The Sopranos & Boardwalk Empire. There was no way this show could be bad with these two at the helm.
