Landman

Who wrote the characters for the daughter and mother/wife? Because those characters are AWFUL. No 17 year old girl speaks with their father that way. It's extremely cringy and uncomfortable. Not only does she not act like a teenager around her father, she looks about 10 years too old to be 17. Maybe that's to balance out the creep factor in her lines? The mother/wife is insufferable and has an attitude that makes me want to skip past her parts. Is there going to be a female character that is actually likeable and doesn't just act like a sexed up twit?

It would be nice because the rest of the show is great.

I apparently am a sucker for Taylor Sheridan shows. They're well written and entertaining. I'd gladly watch anything with his make attached to it at this point. But what's with the girl in her underwear and the creepy sexualization of her? It's grossly gratuitous. It's extremely weird how obnoxious she is with it. It's almost that much of a turn off to not want to watch. I AM invested in the story tho so far. I'm also not getting why the woman are so utterly unlikeable. The ex wife is just ugggh. It's truly a head scratcher. Is the show just geared towards drawing men? Love Billy Bob tho. He's always plus.

Like the show and everything Taylor Sheridan does, but, where was the technical consultant. At the pump rig accident, Billy Bob isn't even holding the pipe wrench correctly. Nobody on set knows to advise him on something so basic.

I had to play it back when I couldn't beleive what I had just seen. And in the accident scene, a real crew would have the proper equipment and working know how. Like a 36" pipe wrench that a couple of guys could get behind. And a hand held monitor for explosive gasses. Nobody would bang on a short pipe wrench with a mallet. Hell, grad a 2 ft pipe to extend the arm if its all you gave available. Having worked in similar places, the show is way off the safety precautions used in the industry, which is OSHA by the book to a the ridiculous. Nobody would be standing on a truck load of pipe, and nobody is at height without a safety harness.

Plain and simple, the two of them are ruining what could be a great show.

There's absolutely nothing that they bring to the show beyond being eye candy.

Saying that, it's the most awkward and weird scenarios with both of them. The daughter is showing her body off for some grand father aged men who are friends of her dad.

The mother is all over the place with her attitude and maturity level. Never actually reaching what could be called being an adult. She's a mix of a child and a young teen. She wants to be an airhead bimbo and nothing more.

Get rid of them both and the show would be 100 times better.

Landman is another hit in a long line of them for Taylor Sheridan. This has everything you want in a good series, it has plenty of drama, action, twists, even a little comedy, etc. It's obviously beautifully written because everything Sheridan does is but it also has an amazing cast. It stars the incredible Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm, Ali Larter, Demi Moore, among others. Billy Bob Thornton was born to plays this role, he is absolutely terrific here. I'll be shocked if he doesn't get nominated for an Emmy for his performance here. Same goes for Hamm. Besides being beautifully written and acted, it's also beautifully shot too. Sheridan has so many great shows to his name and Landman is among the best of them. This look like it's going to have a long run and I'm here for it.
