The writing is good - Stallone's narration is well written. He's also good in this role. The show moves along and is entertaining. Problem is you have to believe that in today's world, someone would just show up to a town like Tulsa, start knocking people around and making demands and people would just fall in line and not call the police.
In reality, every incident in this show where he knocks someone around and gets what he wants wouldn't happen. Ever. The person would simply call the police, they'd come, see that he did in fact commit an assault, that's he's an ex con recently released from prison and he'd be in jail waiting a new trial.
But in this fantasy world from 1960 (that takes place today) he just makes demands and people does what he wants.
If you can accept that, you can enjoy the show.
