Oilman Reacts to Landman the Series Episode 4

Warren Martin, executive director, Kansas Strong, shares his review of Episode 4: A String of Second Chances, of the new series Landman streaming exclusively on Paramount Plus.

“The Sting of Second Chances” seems to refer to Tommy Norris’s decision to rekindle his relationship with ex-wife Angela Russo, who declares her intention to leave her new husband for him. Whatever fans may think of that development, there’s also storylines going on for attorney Rebecca Falcone and Tommy’s son Cooper. Landman continues to do a fine job of balancing the boardroom with the oil patch, and while it does veer into some sensationalism and outrageous Hollywood-esque storylines, overall the series has become a fantastic talking point for energy education.

Topics covered in the interview reaction with Warren Martin:

• The overall theme of the episode as a “slow burn” and “storyline setter”
• The reality of the accident on the oil rig
• The reality of the deposition
• The Lawyer is becoming more interesting with a possible love triangle
• The level of sexuality injected into the storyline from a workplace perspective and after hours
• The use of a sex worker in the episode to advance a storyline
• How pastors and priest would come to male-dominated communities and their impact
• What is a green horn and why a green helmet is worn
• How politics and politicians have been used and left out of the series thus far

In the heart of Texas, roughnecks and billionaires try to get rich quick in the oil industry; Tommy Norris, a struggling executive, tries to take his company to the top during the fuel boom.

Midland-based Tommy works for a small but lucrative outfit, MTex Oil. The owner, Fort Worth businessman Monty Miller (Jon Hamm) and his wife Cami (Demi Moore).

From Sheridan and co-creator Christian Wallace, the series is based on the podcast “Boomtown” and follows the upstairs/downstairs battle for land, oil and fortune in a West Texas boomtown.
