A modern day story of the search for fortune in the oil rig world of West Texas
Check out the most popular movies and TV shows by writer/director Taylor Sheridan on IMDb, ranked by user ratings.. A landman, at least one who works for an industrial oil company, will act as a go-between between exploration companies and landowners. It’s usually the landowner’s job to negotiate and finalize contracts with landowners with mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent.
They’re also part fixer, part problem solver, and part helper
Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, housing for workers (the people’s camp), set up drilling machinery, and drill the wells themselves, often in remote locations. Since Siceri, I’ve become completely obsessed with everything associated with the Sheridan name. Having seen what he’s capable of from his incredible screenplays and the films he’s directed in the past, I have to admit that I’ve been a little disappointed with the four episodes of Landman so far.
I don’t see any of the subplots involving them adding anything significant to the plot
Maybe it was because I had high expectations with all the big name actors involved, but also getting into the city lifestyle after an incredible, ever-expanding adventure in farm life. But I feel like Sheridan is having a little too much fun with the inclusion of trashy scenes with Tommy’s ex-wife Ali Larter and his over-the-top daughter Michelle Randolf, who was excellent in 1923. Sheridan is at his best when he puts his foot on the action drama pedal, as seen in this second season of Special Ops: Lioness or any of his previous dramas.
and I hate to say it, but randolph is over the top and I can’t buy her acting at all
Knowing what he’s capable of, it’s frustrating, but with only four episodes left, I’m still hoping that they’ll use Jon Hamm more and that this show will break through. I hope this isn’t another project for its own entertainment value, like Tulsa King s2 where it turns into a comedy interrupted by brief moments of high drama (I loved it in the first season). I know Sheridan has his own umbrella and runs so many shows, but I wish he would have focused on quality instead of quantity because this show has a chance to be great if given a serious try.
