Compared to the first episode, which was good but didn't quite grab me, I truly enjoyed this one. The second episode, "Center of the Universe," effectively establishes the show's tone and style. It's somewhat unrealistic, but I think that is precisely what the creators intended. The tone feels lighter compared to Sheridan's other work, yet the grit is still present. It's a blend of Drama and Comedy, and the result largely works. Seeing Sly's character "Dwight", trying to find his way in an unfamiliar world and come to terms with being exiled by the man he gave up the greater part of his life, all while trying to repair his relationship with his estranged daughter is what makes the "Tulsa King" intriguing. Sylvester Stallone delivers his best performance in quite some time, and this mix is enough to set the show apart from the cookie-cutter nonsense.
