YMMV / Tulsa King

• Alternate Character Interpretation:
  • An in-universe one. Dwight is struggling between whether he's a Friendly Neighborhood Gangster or whether he's a Wrong Genre Savvy Deconstruction of it. He spent twenty years in the joint to protect his Don but has since found out that loyalty may have been misplaced as well as ruined his family. On the other hand, he's forming a new True Companions gang in-universe. So he's torn between whether his lifestyle and code were worth it or not.
  • Whether Bodhi is a Harmless Villain Protagonist who is out of depth with the real criminals and a New-Age Retro Hippie who wouldn't hurt a fly or actually an Obfuscating Stupidity master criminal in his own right. The revelation he's made millions in cryptocurrency con games in Episode 7 points to the latter.
• Funny Moments: In one episode, Dwight gets high and starts talking nonsense. That sentence pretty much says it all.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Episode 7 has Dwight dismissing the value of cryptocurrency and NFTs as "not real" with Bodhi telling him how much they can make stealing them. At the time of the episode's airing, a huge backlash led to NFTs and cryptocurrency seeing a huge dip in their value and Dwight's dubious attitude toward them was correct.
• Spiritual Adaptation: The plot of Tulsa King is essentially the same as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, except the old school Italian-American mobster comes out of a long prison sentence to be exiled to Tulsa instead of the Miami-esque Vice City. And he's 75 years old instead of 35.
