A modern-day tale of the pursuit of fortune in the world of West Texas oil rigs
See the top movies and TV shows by writer/director Taylor Sheridan on IMDb, based on user ratings. A landman, at least one who works in the oil industry, acts as an intermediary between exploration companies and landowners.
Essentially, they manage the land and secure leases so they can drill for oil and gas
Typically, a landman’s job is to negotiate and finalize agreements with landowners who hold mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, housing for workers (man camps), oversee the assembly of mining equipment, and drilling of the well site, especially in remote locations.
As referenced on CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode 4424 (2022)
They are also part of the repair team, problem solvers, and facilitators. I have to start by saying I am a huge fan of almost everything.
It’s another hit for Sheridan
Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, The Mayor of Kingstown, 1923, 1883, Tulsa King, Lioness, Sicario, He’ll or Highwater, Wind River, etc etc). He hits home run after home run and Landman is no different.
I recommend this to anyone looking for a new good series to watch, especially if you are a Taylor Sheridan fan
Landman is set in modern day Texas where everyone from billionaires to roughnecks are trying to get rich in the oil industry. This series follows Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) as he tries to take his company to the top during the oil boom.
