Tulsa

Fueled by vengeance and ambition, a strong-willed woman takes on Oklahoma's oil industry after her father's death, rising to power as a ruthless tycoon in a man's world. But as the wells gush and the money flows, so do the consequences, fire, betrayal, and the collapse of everything she once believed in. This Western drama explores greed, environmental destruction, and redemption at the dawn of America's oil boom.

My take

A gripping tale of ambition and ruin set against the raw backdrop of America's oil boom. Watch a woman claw her way to power only to watch it all burn—this is Western drama with teeth, exploring the dark price of greed and the consequences that follow.
