Essentially, they manage the land and secure leases, so they can drill for oil and gas
Story
A modern tale of seeking fortune in the world of West Texas oil rigs. Watch the most popular movies and TV shows by writer/director Taylor Sheridan on IMDb, ranked by user ratings. A Landman, at least one who works in the oil industry, will act as an intermediary between exploration companies and landowners. 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.
Quoted in CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode No
Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, man-camps, assemble the excavation machinery, and drill the well itself, especially in remote locations. They are also part Fixer, Problem Solver, and Facilitator. 44.24 (2022). It’s formula TV but from a writer who will be remembered decades from now, just as Norman Lear is now.
Inappropriateness regarding the mother-daughter-father-family dynamic?
The difference here seems to be geography. It’s another niche western show and it’s brilliant marketing coupled with great performances from top quality actors. Accuracy issues regarding the oil industry? Apparently.
No matter, it’s a dynamic production and fun to watch
Yes. Does that mean none of this plays out the same way in real life? Thornton is earmarked for the role, although I read it was originally written for him. Larter is at the top of his game and looks phenomenal.
Otherwise I’ll be wondering what’s in there
Lots of cool stuff, except the only oddity is that Demi Moore is listed in all 10 episodes. I’ve watched all 5 so far and unless it’s just me, I only recall seeing and hearing her once or so, in her pool, for a brief moment. Hamm’s character isn’t seen much either, but he’s well-acted and nails his character, but Moore hasn’t been allowed to add anything so far. Maybe it’s written that way and she’ll have a part in later episodes.
