Non-Descript Character: Where do you worship?
Scenario
After being released from prison after 25 years, New York Mafia capo Dwight "The General" Manfredi is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma.. Sylvester Stallone's first leading role in a television series.. Dwight 'The General' Manfredi: I really don’t go to church..
I really like this show
The opening credit sequence shows various photographic and painted vistas as well as landmarks of Oklahoma imposed upon New York City landscape: A Statue of The Sioux Indian Chief "Touch the Clouds" wearing a War Bonnet and a Bone Choker necklace (breastplate) imposed on top of the Brooklyn BridgeGolden Driller Statue imposed on the Statue of LibertyRoute 66 Western Gateway Arch imposed on a Major Manhattan "Avenue". In New York City, in the Borough of Manhattan, that are several numbered "Avenues" that are criss-crossed by smaller numbered streets.. Featured in CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #45.7 (2022).
It’s a bit unbelievable but mostly entertaining
The humor Stallone brings to the character (of the writers) evens out the bits that are absurd. Stallone brings a nuanced performance of a recently released from prison monster. Who is given the opportunity to move to a south western state and earn for the bosses back home.
A fish out of water no
He makes the best of a situation he rather not be in. A shark in a different ocean maybe more like it. This looks like it’s going to be a fantastic addition to a historical and legendary career of one of Hollywood’s greatest box office draws of all time.
Stallone is in his element and he delivers the goods
