Landman

Really ? I think everyone knows that, bout like you probably live in Austin ???

Well, show refers lots to Midland-Odessa.

My wife lived up there with her ex back during the 80s oil boom and bust. She knows quite a bit about equipment and conditions in the area.

My favorite part of Texas is up around the Electra/Iowa Park (pronounded I Way) and over to Palo Duro.

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

T is just passable for us. Surprised we stuck it out.

Not yet. Regular Paramount Channel has had 1 or 2 episodes then stopped. All new episodes are on Paramount+

Also iirc monty lives in dallas. Or maybe i just deduced that from it being a metro about 3-4 hours away from Midland. Not sure they ever said specifically.

Monty lives in Ft. Worth. They showed TCU's stadium and he said his daughter stayed home to go to TCU.

Also, I learned that Midland is named that because it's halfway between DFW and El Paso.

Plain ole Paramount isn't free either.

No wonder BBT has so many issues in the show. If I had a daughter and Ex-wife like he has, being an alcoholic would be the least of my problems. I literally laughed for 1/2 hr at BBT's facial expression after his conversation with his daughter at the football game.

I liked the scene where BB's wife did the whipped cream bikini.

I've been there. Ugly just doesn't do it justice.
