Story
A modern tale of the pursuit of fortune in the world of oil drilling in West Texas.. A landman, at least one who works in the oil industry, will act as a go-between between exploration companies and landowners.
Essentially, they manage the land and secure the lease so that they can drill for oil and gas
Typically, a landman’s job is to negotiate and finalize contracts with landowners with mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, man-camps, assemble drilling equipment, and drill the well itself, especially in remote locations.

They are also part-time repairmen, problem solvers, and managers. I have to start by saying that I am a huge fan of almost anything Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, 1923, 1883, Tulsa King, Lioness, Sicario, He’ll or Highwater, Wind River, etc, etc.
It’s another hit for Sheridan
.). He hits home run after home run and Landman is no different.
Landman takes place in modern day Texas where everyone from billionaires to simpletons are trying to get rich in the oil industry
This series follows Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) as he tries to bring his company to the top during the oil boom. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good new series to watch, especially if you are a fan of Taylor Sheridan.
