Who else was expecting horses skidding or doing circles when they walked into Dickies Arena.

I gotta say, I enjoyed the truck ride scene between Tommy & his dad. Some of my best memories with my dad were long rides like that.

Also, the lawyer is well....getting hotter.

When that scene first came on I told my wife "dammit, more spinning horses".

They're kinda running out of parts of the show that keep my interest. Any actual oilfield related stuff I like. Interaction with Thornton and Andy Garcia characters are pretty good.

Tired of: * Wife and daughter (I still fast forward through any scene they are in)
* Even the normally enjoyable Sam Elliott is
kind of a grind
* Already had enough of the meet-cute with
the attorney and Aussie geologist
* Tommy and the abuelita

They need to give the wife and daughter less screen time.

In the last couple episodes of the first season, the son did some actual landman work. Research on ownership, meeting mineral owners, making deals etc. Although, I laughed out loud at the landowner that he went and talked to that owned both the minerals and the surface, single ownership & signed on the spot. THAT does not happen.

Other than that & the sheer volume of driving that Tommy does, I've seen very little landmand work.

---

The amount of driving could be solved just by doing a simple Teams/Zoom call here and there

No kidding. Every episode, it seems like Tommy goes from Midland-Ft Worth-Midland-Ft Worth-MIdland in one damn day. And he drives every mile. "Tommy! I need you in Ft Worth. We need to talk." "Yes Ma'am. Be there shortly". We have cell phones and computers, people.

OR, he has to drive it & he's the president of the company....But his wife takes the jet to go shopping?

Bingo! I was going to puke if there was a spinning or skidding horse. I don't mind the cutting because that's a lot of skill and a good friend of mine is one of the best in the world at it and although semi-retired he does a lot of judging. I casually mentioned one time if he thought Sheridan was helping bring attention to the sport and I've never seen him go off and almost blow every blood vessel in his body.

The Aussie/lawyer thing seems forced - albeit it has reality in that out in the fields, there isn't much choice on who to pair with.

Right now Andy Garcia in my opinion is single handed carry the show. He plays his character very will. Demi isn't too bad.

When Sam Elliot starting crying about how his body "didn't nourish the baby" I cringed so hard I almost dropped my drink.

I have never heard any masculine male talk that way.

Yeah, that was some bad writing but nothing will ever be worse than Sheridan writing for women.

She is great.

Watched it again last night & it occured to me that a much better scene would have been, instead of the two idiots going shopping at Niemans, to have taken Sam Elliot to Leddy's and buy him some proper clothes instead of walking around in old jeans and that white tee shirt.

I'm still hanging on! I do have some trouble with the geology scenes. As a person that spent their career as a geophysicist with a geology degree the old "let's pop up right here on the tailgate and look at this here map so I can pin a spot to drill" is fun. But alas, I also know it's just tv and entertainment and I am still mostly entertained. It's not worse than Yellowstone and watching ranch operations that don't work like that. Just gotta put that aside and enjoy it.

I'll probably duck out when they write BBT out.

This show has also just about ruined Sam Elliot for me. Used to love that guy but this character is annoying the **** out of me.

Isn't BBT the face of Landman?

They had no issue killing off Kevin Costner in Yellowstone.

That worked well. When does the next season debut?

Kevin killed himself off

Taylor Sheridan seems to always have a LOT of insufferable female characters in his shows. So far I haven't seen one female character that I like in this show.

BBT is the whole show. I would lose interest immediately if he were not in the show.

I personally enjoy seeing places I frequent on a regular basis on TV. Even the Shell station Cooper called his mother from in the last episode is right off US 287 on my way to work.

The character I enjoy who I'd like to see more of is James Jordan (Dale). He was good in Yellowstone and this show too. He's really funny.

The only characters that don't bother me are Tommy, Dale, & Neil/Nate.

I guess I don't hate Andy Garcia's character. Yet.
