They essentially manage the land and secure leases so that they can extract oil and gas. As foremen on a construction site, they build roads, worker dormitories (camp), oversee the assembly of excavation machinery, and drill the well itself, especially in remote locations. They are also part of the Fixer, Problem Solver, and Facilitator..
Landman is another hit in a long line of them for Taylor Sheridan
This has everything you want from a good series, it has plenty of drama, action, twists, even a little comedy, etc. It is obviously beautifully written, because everything Sheridan does is, but it also has an amazing cast. It stars the incredible Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm, Ali Larter, Demi Moore, among others.
The same goes for Hamm
Billy Bob Thornton was born to play this role, he is absolutely amazing here. I will be shocked if he is not nominated for an Emmy for his performance here. In addition to being beautifully written and acted, it is also beautifully filmed.
Sheridan has so many great performances to her credit and Landman is among the best
It looks like it will have a long run and I am here for it.
