Landman

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.

I need to start off by saying that I'm a huge fan of just about everything Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, 1923, 1883, Tulsa King, Lioness, Sicario, He'll or Highwater, Wind River, etc, etc.). He hits home run after home run and Landman is no different. It's another hit for Sheridan. Landman takes place in modern day Texas where everyone from billionaires to roughnecks are trying to get rich in the oil industry. This series follows Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) as he tried to take his company to the top during the oil fuel boom. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good new series to watch, especially if you're a fan of Taylor Sheridan.

This could easily have been rated an 8.5 - 9. If it weren't for the cringey and so sexualized daughter & ex wife/mother. They serve no purpose to the plot, and are just downright annoying and insulting to west Texas women. A far west Texas man myself I understand where Sheridan is coming from in a sense, but this is awful. West Texas women are the strongest, most ambitious women I know. Now aside from that, the writing and acting are terrific. Sheridan easily has another Yellowstone on his hands if he gets rid of the very uncomfortable interfamily horniness. But again, love me some Sheridan writing (and acting) and an absolutely very enjoyable show, for the most part.

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.
