A modern-day story of making a fortune in the West Texas oil rig world
Check out the most popular movies and TV series by writer/director Taylor Sheridan on IMDb, ranked by user ratings.. A Landman, at least one of whom works in the petroleum industry, will act as an intermediary between exploration companies and landowners. Typically, a landman’s job is to negotiate and finalize agreements with landowners who have mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent.
As mentioned in CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #4424 (2022)
Essentially, they manage the land and collect taxes so that they can drill for oil and gas. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, housing for workers (man-camps), assemble drilling rigs, and drill wells, especially in remote locations. They are also part Fixer, Problem Solver, and Facilitator..
Similarly, the roles of both his wife and daughter feel out of place in the series
For someone so focused on his goals, the inclusion of an emotionally unstable, one-woman circus completely undermines the show’s purpose. Her character feels like she’s adding unnecessary clutter to the central narrative rather than supporting his journey. The portrayal doesn’t advance the plot, but instead makes it difficult to take his determination and focus seriously.
Furthermore, the constant dressing of these characters in provocative outfits seems to serve no purpose
The wife is emotionally unstable, and the daughter seems to lack intellectual depth, making her contribution to the plot negligible. The portrayal of the daughter feels particularly shallow, with her character offering little beyond surface-level engagement that adds no value to the story. It feels out of sync with the tone of the series, other than to attract attention.
It’s an odd and unnecessary addition that detracts from the overall quality of the narrative
Rather than enhancing the plot or character dynamics, this approach comes across as a superficial tactic to draw attention.
CIA agent Jo tries to balance her personal and professional life as the spearhead of the agency’s war on terror. Real military advisors helped create a more authentic performance in weapons handling, chamber cleaning, positioning, squad actions, etc. d. Sheridan knows how to transport us into macho, testosterone-driven worlds, without clichés and seemingly without agenda. That’s what it is.
Guys are simple
No apologies are necessary. His characters are always realistic and he is extremely skilled at casting. But to be great, you have to write good roles for women. The script should be as good, if not better, than for the men. Women are smarter and more complicated.
They are strong and compelling
Beth in Yellowstone (a great character and performance), the barrel racers, a lone woman working on a ranch (a fantastic Jen Landon as Teeter) are all great female characters who fit naturally and effortlessly into the world of the story. Not just a “partner…” or T&A. He stepped up his game with the excellent character Faith Hill, who was defeated in 1883, and then with Dame Mirren in the flop 1923. Now we have Zoe Saldana doing some of the best work of her career. I absolutely buy her as a CIA chief in an open marriage (nice touch).
What the hell!
I buy De Oliveira as a broken woman with a burning rage that won’t stop, and thank you, thank you, thank you to the writers/directors/producers for NOT letting her get the best of a coworker with a hundred extra pounds of muscle. Truth first! I think her character is much more interesting if she’s the one who needs to be cut down or just knocked down before she gives up. Now let’s talk about Jill Wagner, or should I say her hair? From sentimental Hallmark bastard to super cool commando?
I buy it
Special mention: Miss Lanier as the obnoxious teenage daughter. I’m looking forward to the arc that this loose canon charts as they continue to avoid the teen angst cliché. Good actress, could be interesting…
Kaya Scodelario’s character, Laura Harrison, is fictional
Line of Events
A fictional miniseries based on the life of Ayrton Senna da Silva, the Brazilian racing legend who won the Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship three times.. She is based on journalists who followed Ayrton Senna’s career.
She also speaks fluent Brazilian Portuguese
Furthermore, Scodelario’s family is Brazilian, from Senna’s home state of São Paulo. The early races of Senna’s career in England are shown on a racetrack next to a mountain range.
There are no mountains in England – especially Norfolk, which is known for its flat landscape
I call this show the FW16 of biopics because just like the car in which Senna was killed, it was good, but, umm…OK, first the positives. Overall, they got Senna’s uncompromising nature right, especially in the way they illustrated his team managers' resentment.
I agree, but then again, so what?
The attention to detail was brilliant; When I saw the MP4/4 race, I cringed, but that footage of Senna alone in the briefing room at the end of Suzuka perfectly recreates the ITV footage from 1989. I saw another reviewer say that their story was one-sided.
This is clearly a series for Senna fans, not Balestre apologists
Fans who followed the shenanigans from 1989 to 1993 would be familiar with The French Connection, if they didn’t directly believe in its gospel truth. However, there were a few things the writers could have paid attention to: 1) Including Senna’s personal relationships with people like Gerhard Berger and Josef Leberer went a long way in humanizing him; 2) They could have put a lot more emphasis on the work Senna put into developing the car – he was known for giving his mechanics feedback until they begged to go home; i3) Donnington 1993 – I can’t believe they completely ignored the greatest single lap in the entire history of F1.
