Wikipedia:

>Dwight "The General" Manfredi is a New York Mafia capo who just completed a 25-year prison sentence. Upon release, his boss sends him to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to establish criminal operations there. Not knowing anyone in the area, The General seeks a new crew to help establish his empire.

Which is pretty much what the first episode was all about. It's a silly premise if you are even vaguely aware of how active organized crime is in cities of the "flyover" states.

Now, if the show was called "Lawton King" or "Muskogee King," that would be an interesting premise.
