Route 66 Western Gateway Arch imposed on a major Manhattan “avenue.” In New York City, in the borough of Manhattan, there are several numbered “avenues.” that are intersected by smaller numbered streets. Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky, old school, hard a$$ acting style fits this show perfectly. From narrating to cruising through Tulsa, it just goes to show that this role is a perfect fit for him.
Also acting like a man his age and style certainly helps to fit in perfectly
As for the show, the build-up to the first two episodes was excellent and moved along pretty quickly. It will be interesting towards the end of the season to see how much twists and turns they have set up. In the meantime, if you’re a fan of Sly, you should definitely give this show a chance, even if you’re not, I would still recommend it for the fun of gangster shows.
