Just three episodes in.

Billy bob Thornton is welcome back to Texas since his Friday Nights in 2006.

The feeling is Yellowstone and this is welcome, series with some reality versus superheroes and fantasy.

Based in the Permian basin Oilfield , great casting so far! Interesting people and storylines...

We Oilfield guys are shaking our heads at the inaccuracies of the field life and explosions/blow outs.

The technical failures in the first three episodes are embarrassing and your technical consultant got everything wrong in the Blowout scene.

A stuck old valve, the 24 inch Pipe wrench (applied upside down being hammered near to the top? 100% wrong.

You need torque, No Cheater pipe tried first? No hammer unless a brass hammer (ie no sparks)?

No experienced Oilfield downstream crew would ever have done this. A shambolic Technical director.

Billy is then seen as a 'Landman' trying to shut down a blowout (Never seen a Landman on location). Experienced and again places the wrench upside down and hits his own finger ? Just ridiculous.

Hey-Ho , Hollywood. Staying for the story !

PS ex Oilfield and commenting for many on my ex Oilfield group reactions.

The plot and storyline keeps me watching. Oh is such an unexpected character but Jodie really steals and drives the show. I thought her a Danish or Dutch actress but she is Liverpool Scouse (!) , what a range with the accents, having spent time in Russia and lived in France she fooled me , how she can perform the accents and characters leaves me amazed. I truly believe she is a psychopath, multiple personality, Bi Polar , dangerous female ! Love her ! The more crazy she is the more I like her. Best Actress 2018/19 in any TV show.

Impossible to review a movie without seeing it ? I will try.

1) Raising $10 million for a movie in 2018 with a limited release in terms of timing, interest and paid seats needs investors and backing looking beyond a return on investment, ie trying to tell a story.

2) Many well funded WWII movies have been produced , average 1 per annum, lets say by special interest groups , and rightly so under the theme 'lest we forget.' - there is a story to tell.

3) For enthusiasts of WWII air combat, of WWII we watch anything! Most are thankful for a continued interest . Some profess expertise of the genre and pick fault looking for the same level of perfection as SPR or Band of Brothers. Others have BOB as the benchmark, a movie with a $17 M budget in the sixties with all stars vs this with a $10M in 2018.

4) Living in the USA I doubt any release in even the smallest cinemas.

5) I am happy enough to seek out and watch any movie relating to the Polish 303 sqdn , maybe I will land on 10 or 5/10 afterwards, its not the point. I will balance the end result with Budget and value to the reason that it was made.
