Rats, Bugs and Moles
Briggs Oil is celebrating its 30th Anniversary, and the party must go on, even in the wake of the intensified federal investigation into Hap's business dealings. Suspecting there’s an informant in his ranks, Hap clamps down on security and nearly exposes his son, Wick, as the source of the leak. This leads Wick to recruit an unlikely accomplice in his desire to bring down his father. Meanwhile, Annie sets up shop in Rock Springs with her new partner, Billy, who finds himself increasingly preoccupied as his lies begin to catch up to him in the form of Gary Laframboise, who threatens to expose the truth about Billy.
Are you ready to immerse yourself in a world where fortunes are forged amidst the rugged landscapes of West Texas? Look no further than "Landman," an exhilarating new drama that captures the essence of fortune-seeking against the backdrop of an oil boom. With its compelling narrative, powerful performances, and timely themes, this series promises to be a standout addition to your watchlist.
Created by acclaimed showrunners Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, "Landman" draws inspiration from the podcast "Boomtown." The series follows Tommy Norris, portrayed brilliantly by Billy Bob Thornton – renowned for his roles in classics like "Fargo" and "1883". Tommy is not just any landman; he’s an Operations VP at an influential oil company navigating through personal turmoil and professional chaos. As he grapples with his abrasive personality alongside complex family dynamics with his ex-wife Angela (played by Ali Larter) and their children Cooper (Jacob Lofland) and Ainsley (Michelle Randolph), viewers are treated to an upstairs/downstairs narrative that pulls you deep into the lives affected by this high-stakes industry.
The first season consists of ten episodes filled with riveting story arcs that delve into themes of power struggles, environmental impact, and human relationships. Each episode reveals layers to Tommy's character as he confronts not only external challenges but also internal conflicts stemming from his past choices. Episode one sets the stage perfectly as it introduces us to this modern-day tale set against booming oil fields. As tragedy strikes early on in episode two, we witness how such calamities ripple through lives intertwined within the oil industry. This ongoing tension keeps audiences engaged as they root for or against characters whose fates hang precariously in balance.
