A modern-day story about finding a fortune in the world of West Texas oil rigs
Watch the most popular movies and TV series from writer/director Taylor Sheridan on IMDb, sorted by user rating.. A landman, at least someone who works in the petroleum industry, acts as a middleman between the exploration companies and the landowners.
Essentially, they manage the land and secure the leases so they can drill for oil and gas
Typically, a landman’s job is to negotiate and enter into contracts with landowners with mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, housing for the workers (man camps), assemble the excavation machinery, and drill the well itself, especially in remote locations.

They are also part fixer, problem solver, and mediator.. I have to start by saying that I’m a huge fan of pretty much everything Taylor Sheridan does (Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown, 1923, 1883, Tulsa King, Lioness, Sicario, He’ll or Highwater, Wind River, etc., etc.).
This is another hit for Sheridan
He hits one home run after another and Landman is no exception. Landman is set in modern day Texas where everyone from billionaires to ruffians are trying to get rich in the oil industry.
I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good new series, especially if you’re a fan of Taylor Sheridan
This series follows Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) as he tries to get his company to the top during the oil boom.
