Tale
A modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of West Texas oil rigs
See writer/director Taylor Sheridan's most popular movies and TV series on IMDb, ranked by user rating.. A Landman, at least one who works in the petroleum industry, will act as the middleman between the exploration companies and the 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 Essentially, they manage the land and secure the leases, so they can drill oil and gas.
Not sure why all the criticism
Like a foreman on a construction site, they build out roads ,living quarters for the workers (man-camp), assemble the excavation machinery and drill the well itself especially in remote locations. They are also, part Fixer, Problem Solver and Facilitator as well.. Referenced in CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #44.24 (2022).
What do people think this business is like
Seems pretty realistic given that we're examining the oil industry. While the situations may seem a little cringey with the family dynamics, how much different is it from the Duttons. I found the story line pretty riveting so far with the first two episodes.
I think this is going continue to be great
I am looking forward to the rest of the season, having lived in oil country I am pretty curious about how this will play out. The power dynamics don't seem any different than any huge money making industry. If you can't handle vulgarity, watch the Hallmark Channel.
