Go West, Old Man (S01E01)

I often hear the opinion that Sylvester Stallone is not exactly an amazing actor. If I hadn't seen Oscar and Demolition Man, I would agree that he is only fit for action movies. The fact is, when he is right for the role, Sly still brings me joy even in his advanced age, and I would say that the role of Dwight fits him. The pace of the first episode wasn't exactly fast, but the plot got me hooked, so I'm looking forward to the next episode, which, unfortunately, doesn't happen with every series for me. If the creators don't mess something up, the old-school gangster transported to today's crazy times could work well for me, especially since he is occasionally surprised by new technologies and has to overcome the age gap. Plus, I really enjoy listening to Stallone's voice, so I'm really glad that I didn't watch the dubbed version. / Lesson learned: Old practices can become new again in the present. (05/22/2023)
