Well, show refers lots to Midland-Odessa.
My wife lived up there with her ex back during the 80s oil boom and bust. She knows quite a bit about equipment and conditions in the area.

Set in Odessa, but filmed at old Del Valle HS in ATX, among other places
Crestview Mini-max: wife worked there in late 70s. She lived less than 1/4 mile away.
Just picked up on Landman based on recos here. Really, really good. Thanks.
Not yet. Regular Paramount Channel has had 1 or 2 episodes then stopped. All new episodes are on Paramount+
Monty lives in Ft. Worth. They showed TCU's stadium and he said his daughter stayed home to go to TCU.
Also, I learned that Midland is named that because it's halfway between DFW and El Paso.
No wonder BBT has so many issues in the show. If I had a daughter and Ex-wife like he has, being an alcoholic would be the least of my problems. I literally laughed for 1/2 hr at BBT's facial expression after his conversation with his daughter at the football game.
I liked the scene where BB's wife did the whipped cream bikini.
I lived there for 8 years working in oil and gas. I can confirm this.
I'm torn on it so far. Love BBT and Hamm, but so far not enough Hamm and too much of BBT's insufferable daughter, ex and his incredibly gullible son. In addition, Monty might want to invest in a better safety training program for his workforce.
Last few years it's been hard for me to want to sit down and watch a show on a weekly basis. Justified and Breaking Bad was a few that was never to be missed. Yellowstone kick us in the nuts so I moved on. 6666 will be decent I'm sure but its probably not gonna draw me in. Landman so far is easy to like and BBT is one of my favorites that just puts Landman on a best show available right now. It's only a 10 episode season though.
Not saying they not bad to look at but yet another episode with too much daughter and ex wife.
Yeah, not much action in this last episode. The ending seemed ominous though. The son is about to become a big problem for Tommy and Monty. That should provide some fireworks soon.
Tommy's daughter telling him that "she was just going to give him a handjob." was cringe/hilarious though.
It is "OK", but the Aussie actors and cringe worthy. Terrible acting. I gave up with the kid burning the car and all of the silly stuff that followed.
I thought the same, kinda blah. I do love the show, and BBT plays his part perfectly.
I'm betting Tommy's ex-wife, soon to be wife again, doesn't even consider telling him about the 300,000 dollars in her bank account that she got to keep. That's her "bug-out" fund. Also, I'm wondering if that was really "wine" in the two bottles that she boosted on her way out.
Starting to become MEH for me. BBT is perfect but way too much ex wife and daughter. So many better characters and issues to focus on than for those 2 to have such a prime location on this show.
Exactly. Im all for t&a but it is bizarrely over the top in this show. All the much more interesting characters and storylines are completely neglected.
I'm liking it so far and BBT is smooth in this role. I'm also a girl dad of a 19 year old and so far I'm lucky enough to not have his problems. It's easy to watch with no wasting moments like he did on Yellowstone with the Cowboy stuff and rodeos.
I just bing watched all episodes yesterday and really enjoyed it. I agree with most everyone else, the mom and daughter are really nice to look at, but they're featuring too often in the story itself. BBT nails his character.
Another good episode even with the wife and daughter.
Yes and another good episode even with the wife and daughter involved.
Watching 1923 again and realized the daughter in Landman is in 1923 as well.
I'm seeing, and this is just my opinion mind you; a "family" operation (the Norris' staked, in part, by the 3 families, that are now sitting on 3 million dollars) led by Cooper, and eventually Tommy, once Monty gets sidelined due to heart/stroke issues (with Demi taking over))
This also might explain why they explicitly mentioned that Tommy's ex is sitting on 300,000 dollars; so that they can call it back as a plot device.
I think they'll pull something backdoor on MTex.
I don't know if you noticed it, but when Monty was negotiating with what's his name (old dude that needed credit, and front-ended percentages as collateral), he stepped out and called Tommy. During that call, he lied to Tommy about the split, to the tune of 5 percent. I think that is going to be, in SOME manner, "Norris Oil's" opening.
It's going to be SOME variation on that eventually, because Tommy isn't going to be happy working for Monty. It's clear that he's fed up with him already.

More twists and turns again this week. Although not confirmed looks like Season 2 just might be a possibility.
Best episode so far.. yeah no way there isn't a season 2. This is my favorite show since Justified.
