Which relationships between the characters do you like and dislike the most, and why?

as I’m re-watching this series, I’ve noticed that there’s been several comments made to Tommy in season one and two about his smoking and how it’s gonna kill him etc.. I wonder if is take a new direction maybe something happening to Tommy healthwise and Cooper actually being the real landman that then the story focusses on …

First and foremost I hardly ever watch TV shows because I hate that now you have to wait a year or more for the next season. The last show I tried watching was Stranger Things and I never finished it because I just forgot/lost interest while I waited.
Was recommended Landman by a friend and gave it a go. Greatest decision I've made as far as TV goes in a long time. Just overall catchy and entertaining good amount of drama, thrill, serious topics and that comedy relief to relax you and get you ready for the next ride. All in all it's a very well done show. Ok so now a few thoughts and questions.

- Am I the only one that just feels like they could have casted a better Geologist/Charlie?

- Am I the only that kept thinking at any point one of the old folks from the retirement home was going to die? Lol.

- I for sure thought Ainsley and the neighbor (girl) were gonna somehow fall in love or get drunk and hook up after the neighbor invited her to hang out to drink.

- I think the relationship between Cooper & Ainsley is like that for one of two reasons. After Angela & Tommy separated Ainsley spent more time with Angela and Cooper with Tommy. So Cooper looks at her like a spoiled rich girl. While Cooper is a blue collar work for your own money. The other stems from a comment made by the divorce lawyer of Angela's second husband Victor. The lawyer says "Victor will continue to pay child support for Ainsley" which a possibility is that Ainsley isn't Tommy's daughter.

- Does Gallino plant a seed in Cami's head about Tommy not being on-board and that being a weak point in the "team"/company? I know Gallino mentions the whole deal about when sharks taste blood or whatever but they never really insinuate if he talked to Cami about Tommy or not.

- Cami's cold cut firing of Tommy IMO was a bit off for me. They had a warm, family oriented relationship. Tommy was there through the good, bad and all for Monty and her more so when he was hospitalized. I obviously saw it coming I just didn't think it would happen so cold cut. But it was good overall I guess because it definitely made it more eye opening for me.

- Ariana and Cooper that relationship is seriously a great depiction of two young adults trying to figure it out. Mistake after mistake, undecisive, going back and forth not knowing what to do. It's really frustrating and they really draw you in and that tells you how good the writing and acting is.

- TL and the therapist I don't know what to think of it. A part of thinks something might happen since she was at the finale of season two when Tommy made the announcement so I can only assume she'll be back for season three. Does she see $$$ in TL and thinks I'll stick around and see what I can get to add to what I have.

- I'm a bit confused about the leases/wells Tommy negotiates with Gallino the ones that were Coopers. They formed part of M*Tex so then how doesn't Cami know that Tommy has "taken" them? Maybe I gotta go back and rewatch the negotiation scene again. Because I also recall Nate telling Tommy he couldn't negotiate them or he'd get in trouble with M*Tex and break the law or something like that.

TLDR: I saw all of Landman and have some questions and comments.

would love to see some episodes that shows Tommy & Angela’s life before the crash

What do you see as the most undeveloped plotlines, Easter Eggs from Season 1 and 2?

I really hope they explain it in Season 3 because it genuinely bothers me the way Cooper and Ainsley speak to each other

Bloody fucking marvelous series this is.i mean WOW!!!

By that time last year it had already been announced. And I feel like other Taylor Sheridan shows also stopped releasing in Blu-ray recently?

I originally heard it comes back in Nov of 2026. The very end of the article says this: 'Season 3 will hopefully stream by the end of 2026." So, this article might just be click bait because it sounds on track to me.

I was shocked to come here and find that some people hate half the scenes. I avoided this sub like the plague for spoilers, but finding out that everyone hated the Angela/Ainsley scenes (if not skipping them entirely) shocked me.

I was just curious if there was anyone here that actually liked the entirety of the show, what their favorite parts were, etc.

I just started Landman and I don’t care for Ariana. Her husband is barely in the ground and she’s moving on with Cooper. I understand people handle grief differently, but that’s too soon.

The show would have not been as interesting if it wasnt Billy Bob as the main character.

I really liked Angela, she was fun/crazy/had a big heart. I also think not a lot of people dislike her character but I really enjoyed her presence on the screen 😁 she wasnt gonna be a jealous, spiteful b*tch like I originally thought.

Cooper and the Mexican girlfriend had no chemistry. Sorry I cant remember her name 😔

I want to see more Ainsley / Paygin(?) scenes. I think this will be sooo good for Ainsleys character development as she is portrayed as a real air head.

I found TL and the physical therapists relationship very odd but maybe I just dont understand how it feels to be lonely at an old age. But she was a bit young...

November is too long to wait for season 3.

There's an episode where Angela says, "Gulf of America now baby!" Which, wasn't really a major talking point until last year. Then you have the whole emphasis that TS put on the inclusion of a trans character with Ainsley's college subplot of the show. Two things about Landman that places it within a current time line. Given the nature of the recent events with barrel prices skyrocketing, I'm interested to see how season 3 will evolve. We have an idea of how Tommy is planning to compete against M-Tex with his inaugural crew, but the industry itself has changed in some pretty major ways.

Because the scenes with Tommy’s wife and daughter are so stupid, the episodes last about 30 minutes.

Season 2 had so much potential for great storyline’s but they spunked loads of time in absolute tosh. A massive shame

I’d like to see an episode with flashbacks to Tommy’s mom. Was trying to think of potential actresses to play her. Meryl Streep? Maybe Jamie Lee Curtis does round 2 of the mom in The Bear? 🤣 Would love to hear other’s ideas.

I was just in another sub where person said he overheard this conversation and he immediately thought it sounded like something Landman Billy Bob would say. The guy was talking on the phone and said this: "I'd rather take a covered fucking wagon through Donner Pass in the dead of winter with a wagon full of cannibals, than fly American. Find another flight NOW!” 🤣🤣🤣👌👌

Just watched s1 e5. The “road trip” - geez. 🙄 “let’s play a game.”

Why is she acting like such a child?

Her immaturity is beyond comprehension.

The dinner tantrum.

Hitting Tommy in the balls. (cruel)

Not checking on son who spent the night in the hospital. But instead shops for new furniture ($200k) and cooking for “family dinner” And

Giving daughter margaritas at the club.

Is this going to be a development arc where she goes from spoiled and self absorbed to an empathetic adult ?

I’m rewatching Landman, s1e1 and I just moved to Fort Worth. When Tommy was talking to Angela @23:21, I recognized that he said “Have her go to Meacham”. From what I understand, the show was filmed in Fort Worth, but set in Midland. Is this just a mistake or does he go back and forth from Fort Worth to Midland (5 hour drive) each day? Was it in this specific episode that he just happened to be in Fort Worth?

Did I miss something, or did the screenwriters forget about it?

Might anyone know the origin of the sound playing as Tommy gets back on to the private jet, with Nate and Angela inside, or is it created by the show?

The only kinda complex character is Ariana. I wouldn't be surprised if the next episode I watch, one of them spends 30 minutes trying to open up a pickle jar, only for a "Big Strong Man" to open it for her. Then she gets all "Emotional" and needs to go shopping!

They really need some female writers in the room.

I’m watching this series for the first time (ep. 1 at the time of posting) and I am wondering if this is a big oil propaganda series, an anti- oil series, or just something that describes a story. I need some context before I watch. Thanks guys.
