Story
A modern-day tale of the pursuit of fortune in the world of West Texas oil rigs. See the top movies and TV shows from writer/director Taylor Sheridan on IMDb, ranked by user ratings. Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore filmed some of their scenes in Weatherford, Texas in May 2024.
Only three episodes
Billy Bob Thornton has been welcomed back to Texas since his Friday Nights in 2006. The feel is Yellowstone, and this is a welcome series with a bit of reality versus superhero and fantasy. Based on the Permian Basin oil field, great cast so far!
Interesting people and stories
We’re shaking our heads at the inaccuracies and explosions/explosions of camp life in the Oilfield. The technical glitches in the first three episodes are embarrassing, and their technical consultant screwed up instead of the explosion. An old valve is stuck, a 24-inch pipe wrench (put upside down and it’s on top of the hammer?
You need torque, don’t you try first?
100% wrong. No hammer, unless it’s a brass hammer (i.e. no spark)?
No experienced oil field downstream
The team would have done it. The chaotic technical director Billy is considered a “farmer” who tries to stop the explosion (I’ve never seen Landman on site). Experienced and puts the wrench upside down again and hits his finger.
