Billy Bob’s diatribe concerning “green energy” and wind turbines was so spot on and so true! I worked as a Land Secretary, Landman and Division Order Analyst in several Texas Oil Companies in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s and I loved every minute of it.

Landman is frigging awesome!!! The cast is fantastic, I couldn't imagine anyone else but Billy Bob playing the role he has

[okmelancholico]

"We're here to entertain, we're not trying to teach a lesson..." - Jon Hamm. How refreshing it is to hear an actor saying that line nowadays...

[robchisholm]

It's is the only series where in the opening 10min this was my favourite series. Billy Bob had me hook line and sinker in less than 10min, his opening scenes brilliant he was born for this role❤❤❤

[chases]

Another excellent serving from Taylor! My opinion but I could not after watching the first 2 episodes imagine anyone other than Billy Bob pulling off the part. Damn he is great! Billy Bob IS The LANDMAN! So looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

Billy Bob Thornton makes everything he's in better and Taylor Sheridan is that guy, really enjoyed the first two episodes, looking forward to more

[Connie_Lingus]

Tulsa King, Lionness and now Landman are outstanding and different in their own right.

[MaryLynnHewitt]

Billy Bob is wonderful. Congratulations on your nomination. I’m so excited for you!

[jackkoba]

Ali and Billy Bob have good chemistry, great show😊

[GeorgeJansen]

I hold this remarkable series in high regard. The performances showcased by the cast are truly exemplary. The production offers valuable insight into the oil industry, highlighting the experiences of everyone, from the oil derrick workers to the executive leadership.

Show looks great. Billy has a great delivery voice, too!

[michaelrussell]

We are DEFINITELY Love this show. Look forward to MANY seasons. BBT is absolutely incredible in his role.

[jadefire]

This is *such* a good show. And no, you don't need to know anything about working the "patch" to understand and follow it. It's very much a *human* story, and that's the interesting part. And I do have to agree with Ali. Some of Billy Bob's monologues are absolutely top-tier. I'm talking James Spader as Raymond Reddinton-monologue level.

[victoriaanderson]

I love this show so far! The cast amazing!

[billadams]

Best TV show i have watched in a long while.

[ashleydejardin]

This show is excellent! LOVE IT! 10/10 Definitely Recommend!

[marshallhelton]

Billy Bob has come full circle in his acting career, now he's the top character in an awesome series. He was made for this.

[michaelmatus]

Outstanding Show. Great Characters! Great stories to come can't wait for next episode.

[katherinekerbow]

I think this show is very intertwining!! I have enjoyed the monologues that were spoken of....and I do see the oil company in a new light....I would really like this show to be a hit....I think a season two would be great!!!!❤

What is with that head piece Billy?

Having actually worked on three real drilling rigs in Texas and Louisiana. One that had recently fell down while running pipe back in the hole before I worked on it. One well I was on was a 22, 825 ft. dry hole on an island in the Mississippi river in Baton Rouge.

What is shown on Landman is a smaller workover rig that does not drill wells. That scene where the guy up in the Derrek gets hurt and they send the worm up happened to me. The worm is the newest guy on the crew and what happened was we were running 2" tubing that was too tall to unlatch from the board where the derrick hand works from. The derrick hand climbed up in the girders to unlatch and I would pull the tubing back and stand it in the rack.

All I can say is my legs never quit shaking as I leaned out looking straight down 90' to the rig floor. Yes I had a belt, a rope and a cable attached to it and that board is less than two feet wide out there. I have to say though I ended up liking it more up there than down on the floor and used to go up and let the derrick hand take a break many times tripping pipe after that. What you see on this show is nothing compared to what it is like drilling the wells.
