Line of Events
A modern-day tale of making a fortune in the world of West Texas oil rigs. A Landman, at least one who works in the petroleum industry, will act as a go-between for exploration companies and landowners. The Landman’s job is usually to negotiate and finalize contracts with landowners who have mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent.

Essentially, they manage the land and secure the leases so they can drill for oil and gas. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, housing for workers (man camps), assemble the earthmoving equipment, and drill the well itself, especially in remote locations. They are also part repairman, part problem solver, and part facilitator.
This is his show!
Taylor Sheridan makes her female characters very shallow even when they seem strong, so this series is no different. But the show is a winner for me because Billy Bob steals every scene; even the ones where the topless women show up! The way he describes the oil business is probably very true to how the industry works.
His female characters are extremely flawed
BB has the best lines describing the value of oil and what makes the world go round (oil). The settings are great, the rigging is actually quite enlightening. I just don’t understand how his daughter is such a big boob and his wife is such a loser, but I’ll just say that’s the Sheridan way.
But for the great lines and the best of Billy Bob Thornton, watch this show
He’s brilliant.
