Likeable and relatively deep characters, plausible plot, tolerable pacing are the driving forces behind this show. Stallone is good as the main protagonist, but I really like Andrea Savage and her character, very nice performance.
entertaining, but that doesn’t really add value and doesn’t stand out
I really respected the fact that Stallone doesn’t try to look younger when his character, Dwight, honestly mentions his age and how it might affect his relationship with the younger woman. The cinematography and music are nothing to write home about, both are good enough to help keep the show going.
See our recap of “Yellowstone”; Season 5, Part 2, “The Squid Game”; Season 2 and many of the most anticipated new and returning series on TV and streaming
My review makes the show look pretty average, however I rate it 8/10 because it’s a solid entertainer, not a TV/Cinema masterpiece or a tour de force..
