Chronology
A modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of West Texas oil rigs
See writer/director Taylor Sheridan's most popular movies and TV series on IMDb, ranked by user rating.. A Landman, at least one who works in the petroleum industry, will act as the middleman between the exploration companies and the landowners.
They are also, part Fixer, Problem Solver and Facilitator as well
Typically, a landman's job is to negotiate and finalize contracts with landowners with mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent Essentially, they manage the land and secure the leases, so they can drill oil and gas. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build out roads , workers living quarters (man-camp), oversee excavation machinery assembly and drilling of the well site itself especially in remote locations.
Pretty good, it's funny
Referenced in CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #44.24 (2022). I feel like they do a pretty good job balancing both political perspectives (oil vs renewables).
Like I said in the beginning this show is hilarious, with Billy Bob Thornton being extremely sharp witted
While the oil bias is definitely there and I don't always agree with the message they try to bring across to the viewer I think it is one that needed to be explored. I think in every other episode he drops some actual wisdom when he isn't roasting people every time he opens his mouth.
