Glaring Tulsa King Plot Hole Everyone Just Chose to Roll With
Sometimes you are okay with inconsistencies if the show is good enough, and it looks like this is just the case.
Tulsa King has been hailed by many as "the best thing on television" right now, with the show getting renewed for the second season less than two weeks after its premiere on Paramount Network.
However, it doesn't mean that its storyline is picture perfect with no plot holes. Fans have already spotted an error that everybody seems to be surprisingly okay with.
When Sylvester Stallone's Dwight Manfredi arrives in Tulsa, he immediately finds a local weed shop he decides to control, even though the shop is legal and the owner does not, in fact, need a Mafia capo help to avoid problems with the law.
"It is a good show where the premise makes no sense in 2022. Mafia dude just starts taking over a legal weed shop, and takes the cash. Why wouldn't the shop just call the police and report the extortion," wondered Twitter user Kitsym303.
Yes, Dwight definitely does not know a lot about how things work in 2022, but it was him who spent 25 years in jail, and not Bodhi, who seems to realize that Dwight's takeover of his shop was not actually something good for the business. However — not least due to Bodhi being rather spineless — he is okay with that, and his relations with Dwight evolve into some sort of a twisted friendship, and it's no longer about money extortion anymore.
Even though it makes little sense, it seems that fans are perfectly fine with such inconsistencies thanks to Tulsa King having compelling performances by actors and a well-written storyline.
The first season will consist of ten episodes, and five of them we have already seen, which means that even more drama is on its way. New episodes arrive on Paramount Network every Sunday.
