Tulsa King poster

Shows that feel likeTulsa King (2022–)

New York mafia capo Dwight "The General" Manfredi is released from prison after 25 years and exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a crew.

If you loved Tulsa King, the closest series we have are Yellowstone (2018), 1923 (2022) and 1883 (2021). All three share Tulsa King's gritty and contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Lethal Weapon (2016).
