“People so hellbent on treating it like Cowboy Sopranos”: Tulsa King Season 2 is Getting Taylor Sheridan a Lot of Flak for the Silliest Reason

SUMMARY

• Viewers are expressing disappointment with Tulsa King Season 2, citing a significant decline in writing quality compared to the previous season.
• The new direction of the show has left many fans feeling frustrated, as it strays from the elements that initially captured their interest.
• Critics are highlighting a lack of coherence and depth in the storytelling, leading to a less engaging viewing experience this season.

When Tulsa King dropped its second season, Taylor Sheridan found himself in the crosshairs for something downright ridiculous. Fans loved the show, but all the chatter revolved around a single, silly detail that overshadowed the drama and action. Sure, we expected the gritty storytelling and star power of Sylvester Stallone, but this controversy took the spotlight in the most unexpected way.

It seemed like the internet couldn’t get enough of dissecting this quirky misstep, turning a minor blip into a major talking point. Buckle up because this season was set to deliver some wild twists—and a whole lot of laughter over what should have been a serious moment!

Fans Express Confusion Over Tulsa King Season 2’s Shift in Tone and Absurdity

When Tulsa King Season 2 hit the screen, fans were left scratching their heads. A Reddit post captured the confusion perfectly: “This sub seems much more bitter towards the show this season.” What sparked this sudden shift? The show had always thrived on its fun, absurdity, and non-realism—so why the concern over authenticity now?

In this season, the series pivoted from its fish-out-of-water charm to an increasingly outlandish plot, where Dwight and his eclectic crew took on absurd schemes. Who knew a group of thugs could dream up plans to open a casino and a cannabis shop while plotting to take over half-built wind turbines? Ambition reached a new level!

However, the premiere felt more like a series of disjointed vignettes than a cohesive narrative. It was extremely non-serious. Cliffhangers from the last season seemed abandoned, leaving viewers questioning the significance of subplots.

Characters like Chickie faded into the background, while ridiculous interludes popped up, showcasing the absurdity of the storytelling. A drunk Armand complaining about everything? Seriously? Another Reddit user summed it up well, “People seem so hell bent on treating it like Cowboy Sopranos.”

As the tone shifted toward comedy—complete with Stallone dishing out life advice—fans felt the show morphing into something unrecognizable. It was still entertaining, but the first episode lacked the depth that once hooked audiences. Maybe it was time to embrace the madness and enjoy the ride—flaws and all.

Fans Slam Tulsa King Season 2 for Lackluster Writing and Corny Moments

Fans are tearing Season 2 apart, saying it doesn’t even come close to the bar set by the first season. They’re calling it out for its terrible writing stacked on top of already weak acting. Now, it’s just straight-up corny, and everything feels painfully forced. Some viewers didn’t make it past the first two episodes and admitted they couldn’t even get through episode 3. 

What once had fans hooked is now just collecting dust in their watchlist. Looks like Season 2 has dropped the ball big time, and fans aren’t afraid to let everyone know. Here’s hoping for a bounce back!
