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.
