I’m about 2/3rds of the way through with Episode 1. Disappointing so far. The trailers make is seem better than it is. Already way too much creative license makes it completely implausible. Plus it does some real crimgey woke pandering.

SPOILERS

1. The Italian mobster Stallone plays is named “Dwight.” I have never ever heard or a mobster named “Dwight” and as a lifelong NYer, I have never met an Itallian named “Dwight” period. They’re probably out there somewhere, I guess.

2. After an argument with his Don and the rest of the crime family, he slaps and knocks out a Capo right in front of the Don and the Underboss and other made guys. Omerta says they cannot physically attack or kill another made guy unless the Don or the Underboss signs off on it.

3. They send him out to Tulsa because he was in prison for so long (25 years) that there is nothing left for him to control anymore, but Tulsa is “wide open.” The idea of one greaseball going out to Tulsa and strongarming businesses might work for 2 episodes until the Tractor boys get together and murder him. People in Tulsa have deep roots and would likely not tolerate an outsider like Stallone’s character coming to town all by himself to do shakedowns.

4. This one is a doozy: After a nigger picks him up from the airport and proves to be annoying and little niggerish, Stallone’s Dwight takes such a liking to him in their short cab ride together that he commits felonies in his presence and then gives the guy $2000 and announces that he works for him and that is his weekly salary. Then he gives this negro $50K and tells bim to cash purchase a Lincoln Navigator. When the car dealership turns the nigger and his cash away (would probably not happen) for assuming he is a drug dealer, Stallone goes there and beats the shit out of the lot owner “cuz racism” and none of the other probably 8-10 able-bodied men on the lot do anything to prevent this. The second time in 10 minutes that the everyman of Tulsa is painted as a complete pussy.
