Scorchin' Summer Streamin' 26 - Landman - Season Two

Landman's first season was exceptional. Top notch, easily better than Taylor Sheridan's ever expanding Yellowstone universe.

So the second season of this neo-Western drama series, created by Sheridan & Christian Wallace, had loads to live up to. So did it? Did we get Moore, Demi Moore this season? Oh yes we did.

Alongside Moore, Billy Bob Thornton leads as a landman for an oil company.

The second season, premiered mid-November and concluded on Sunday. Luckily in December, the series was renewed for a third season.

There really was no doubt we would get a third season. The show lives up to the hype. Ali Larter as Billy Bob's ex-wife is a damn standout.

Landman is set within the world of oilfields in West Texas, where "roughnecks and wildcat billionaires are fueling a boom so big it is reshaping our climate, our economy, and our geopolitics.

Lead character, Tommy Norris, can be abrasive, as is the out-of-town lawyer, Rebecca Falcone (Kayla Wallace ), who is investigating a fatal accident, early in the season.

Set in the boomtowns of Texas, Landman is a modern tale of fortune seeking amongst roughnecks and billionaires in the world of oil.

So how'd the excellent second run conclude? Read on under the trailer.

After Ariana’s attacker dies in the ER, the police accuse Cooper of murder. 

Rebecca, Tommy and Sheriff Joeberg highlight the negative optics of prosecuting a man saving his fiance, and convince the county attorney not to file charges. 

After Paigyn helps Ainsley in training, and Ainsley defends them from transphobic bullies, the two agree to try being roommates again. 

Tommy declines a job offer from competitor Bob Knowles, and reluctantly meets with Gallino. He convinces him to revive the original contract with Cooper for the new oil wells, much more likely to succeed than the gas venture, and cautions him on Cami's inexperience and M-Tex's considerable debt. 

Gallino warns if Tommy's venture fail he will take what he loves the most. 

Nate declines Cami’s offer to become interim President, and urges her to sell M-Tex before resigning. 

With M-Tex having covered the existing debt before he was fired, Tommy forms a new company, CTT Oil Exploration and Cattle, funded by Gallino, which will work the new wells and drill more. 

He appoints Cooper as President, Nate as Treasurer, Rebecca as COO and Chief Counsel, and also recruits Ariana, Dale, Boss and his crew and T.L.

Bring on season three is all I can say. Next up for Taylor Sheridan. Y: Marshals and The Madison, both Yellowstone spin-offs, both landing in March, on Paramount+, where Landman also streams all twenty episodes.
