Unidentified Character: Where Do You Worship?
Tale
After being released from prison, Mafia henchman Dwight “The General” Manfredi is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he builds a new criminal empire with a group of unlikely characters. Sylvester Stallone’s first major role in a television series. Dwight 'The General' Manfredi: I don’t really go to church.
I really like this show
The opening credits sequence shows various photographic and painted images, as well as Oklahoma landmarks, superimposed on the New York City landscape: the “Touch the Clouds” statue of a Sioux Indian chief; wears a War Bonnet and Bone Choker necklace (breastplate) attached to the Brooklyn Bridge’s Golden Driller statue, which is built on the Statue of Liberty. There are several numbered “Avenues” in the Manhattan borough of New York City; which are intersected by smaller numbered streets.. Featured on CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #45.7 (2022).
It’s a bit offbeat, but mostly entertaining
The humor Stallone brings to the character (by the writers) evens out the absurd details. Stallone delivers a nuanced performance as a recently released monster. Who is given the opportunity to move to a southwestern state and make money when his bosses return home.
A fish out of water isn’t
He makes the most of a situation he’d rather not be in. A shark in another ocean might be more like it. This looks like it’s going to be a fantastic addition to a storied and legendary career – one of the biggest Hollywood box office gambles of all time.
Stallone is in his element and he delivers the goods
