I got hooked on the first season.

It includes some excellent dialogue. Kudos to the writers.

Always been a fan of Billy Bob Thornton.

Cast is great. Paulina Chávez is very believable in her role. Jacob Lofland, too, as her love interest.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made a memorable cameo as himself in episode 9 where he shared a powerful, emotional monologue about how his early oil and gas ventures. His genuine emotion, including tears, made the scene incredibly impactful, with many feeling he stole the show from the main cast.

I understand there’s some truth to the depressing environment of the PetroToxin industry down there.

Landman is set within the world of oilfields in West Texas, where “roughnecks and wildcat billionaires are fueling a boom so big it’s reshaping our climate, our economy, and our geopolitics.”

The lead character, Tommy Norris (Thornton), can be abrasive, as is the out-of-town lawyer Rebecca Falcone investigating a fatal accident early in the season.

Rotten Tomatoes approval 78% based on 37 critic reviews. That sounds about right.

I can see why some wouldn’t like this show. The only positive role model for women is Paulina Chávez.

On the other hand, the men are pretty much all disreputable and/or immoral, as well.

Colm Feore as Nathan, an oil company attorney, is about the only man you can cheer for — aside from Billy Bob Thornton.
