Tulsa King
A charming criminal in a cowboy hat. The charm is the danger.
Sylvester Stallone can still make a weary man interesting, and the first conversations with his daughter have a pulse. The series does not know what to do with that pulse except interrupt it with a beating that you are meant to enjoy. A city is not redeemed because a gangster learns the slang.
Leave it. The household does not need another fluent villain.

No law above the crew but loyalty to a boss, which is not piety.
Courage
4/10
Physical nerve in the service of a shake-down.
Republic
2/10
Tulsa is a market to be opened, not a town to be joined.

Violence, cash, and a wink.
Truth
3/10
It tells you he is a criminal and then asks you to root for his quarterly growth.

2/10
What he would hand his daughter is a cleaner version of the same dirt.
