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.

Set in Odessa, but filmed at old Del Valle HS in ATX, among other places

Just picked up on Landman based on recos here. Really, really good. Thanks.
Not yet. Regular Paramount Channel has had 1 or 2 episodes then stopped. All new episodes are on Paramount+
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.
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 lived there for 8 years working in oil and gas. I can confirm this.
I'm torn on it so far. Love BBT and Hamm, but so far not enough Hamm and too much of BBT's insufferable daughter, ex and his incredibly gullible son. In addition, Monty might want to invest in a better safety training program for his workforce.
Last few years it's been hard for me to want to sit down and watch a show on a weekly basis. Justified and Breaking Bad was a few that was never to be missed. Yellowstone kick us in the nuts so I moved on. 6666 will be decent I'm sure but its probably not gonna draw me in. Landman so far is easy to like and BBT is one of my favorites that just puts Landman on a best show available right now. It's only a 10 episode season though.
Not saying they not bad to look at but yet another episode with too much daughter and ex wife.
Yeah, not much action in this last episode. The ending seemed ominous though. The son is about to become a big problem for Tommy and Monty. That should provide some fireworks soon.
Tommy's daughter telling him that "she was just going to give him a handjob." was cringe/hilarious though.
It is "OK", but the Aussie actors and cringe worthy. Terrible acting. I gave up with the kid burning the car and all of the silly stuff that followed.
I thought the same, kinda blah. I do love the show, and BBT plays his part perfectly.
I'm betting Tommy's ex-wife, soon to be wife again, doesn't even consider telling him about the 300,000 dollars in her bank account that she got to keep. That's her "bug-out" fund. Also, I'm wondering if that was really "wine" in the two bottles that she boosted on her way out.
Starting to become MEH for me. BBT is perfect but way too much ex wife and daughter. So many better characters and issues to focus on than for those 2 to have such a prime location on this show.
