Landman

[HymanKaplan]

The latest, in a seemingly endless string of Taylor Sheridan TV shows.

I quit watching Yellowstone after the 3rd season. Not that I hated, but I just kind of lost interest.

I've watched the first 4 episodes of Landman. Billy Bob is doing "Billy Bob", Don Draper quit the ad game and bought an oil company, and all women in Texas are developmentally stunted, ie. emotional middle schoolers.

Like Yellowstone though, it's entertaining to a point, but just like the food at Fazoli's, it's all the same thing, it's just a different shape.

BB is great.

 

[Catman100]

Sheridan is starting to get on my nerves.
Seems like every week there's some new extraordinary stupid shit.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Wife and I watch Landman every week. Enjoyable. Missed last two weeks because of return trip to Germany.

Angela Norris is high-maintenance as hell. My wife knows the industry fairly well. Says lots of realism contained within the series.

 

[HymanKaplan]

I think that: (background research on the general subject matter, whether it's the oil industry or ranching etc.) is the one thing that Sheridan actually does well.

 

[HymanKaplan]

The lawyer lusting after the minor daughter of his friend/boss is extremely uncomfortable for me.

As is the blatant product placement of Michelob Ultra, and the not subtle intimation that it can cure alcoholism. That seems well, irresponsible. LOL (maybe the point is to demonstrate that absudity and I just don't get it)

See what you mean, but honestly I believe lawyer Nathan appears more annoyed and irritated by the new, not-so-welcome guests. He seems more immersed in his work than playing a "dirty old man". No doubt, Nathan gets his share of eye-candy.

 

[HymanKaplan]

When he said this is a liability time bomb, my actual first thought was that he was a convicted sex offender. LOL

In retrospect, the fact that he can still practice law rules that out, but you know, at first blush.

 

[HymanKaplan]

I can't recall his name, but the other guy that lives in the house. The only one that actually appears to work for a living (LOL) He cracked me up during the dinner scene. Everyone else is drama out the ass, and old dude is just powering down that "spaghetti" And when he knew he was going to be asked to "share" about his day, he couldn't get that beer up to his mouth fast enough. He's become my favorite character. LOL

I also enjoyed Hamm's response to the guy that wanted to play through, ON A PAR THREE. LOL (and, FYI I've never been slowed down by a golfer that is walking the course. Those guys don't f*** around. They just take care of business, and move on. It's the flotilla of middle-aged men, riding single in their golf carts that are ALWAYS the problem)

Dale Bradley (James Jordan) is the other roommate. Norris' daughter nearly changed his sex I believe in episode 3 or 4.

Heh.

 

[HymanKaplan]

The "bathroom door lock" lecture by BB was pretty good. LOL

I wonder when the catfight between BB's wife, and the female lawyer will happen. Hopefully it's by the pool. LOL

I love Billy Bob Thornton. Have heard it’s amazing. I’ll have to do a trial of whatever streaming platform it’s on.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Does Taylor Sheridan just outright own Paramount+? If not, he should.

His accent/voice in this is a cross between Jock Ewing( Jim Davis) and Sam Elliott. Very in keeping with the character

Watching Landman on the heels of the latest Yellowstone episode (with Taylor Sheridan's strip poker scene), I kind of wonder if TS is just amusing himself at this point.

Billy Bob is fantastic, and the thing I enjoy most about Landman are the sequences that show how the industry works, with the leases, drilling rights, confrontations, etc. Need more of that.

For anyone interested in that part of the show, before coal died in eky it was the exact same and had land men or agents as well. The workers were different but much of the rest the same.

Current list of shows I am watching :

1. Landman (Paramount +)
2. Lioness (Paramount + )
3. Black Doves (Netflix)

 

[HymanKaplan]

Landman - that's it. I'm essentially just treading water until season 2 of Severance (best show out there right now) starts.

Territory on Netflix if you liked Longmier. Robert Taylor just as good in this one.

New trailer out today

 

[HymanKaplan]

Before the premier, I'm going to go back and run thru the first season again, to refresh everything. A show like that, I'm sure I've forgotten some details in the THREE YEAR GAP. lol


HOLY F**K, I just watched the trailer. That looks pretty awesome.

 

[parrott]

Loved Lioness on Paramount +. Second season just finished. Another Taylor Sheridan but a great cast.

 

[HymanKaplan]

Taylor Sheridan is to TV as Thomas Kinkade was to art. It's a pretty apt comparison.

 

[parrott]

Can’t argue with that. He also has Mayor of Kingstown which I liked plus the Yellowstone prequels.
