Is anyone watching the drama series Landman ?


 
My wife and I enjoy it immensely...except for the cringe-worthy mother/daughter dynamic which adds nothing to the series but awkwardness. That and those overly long weepy scenes with Ariana and Cooper.....

I don't think he's using the pipe-wrench backwards. If it was on backwards the pipe-wrench would have "broke its bite" and flew off when he hit it with the hammer.

But there are three things wrong with that scene.
  1. Why are they working on a "live" system under pressure? (Never, ever hammer on anything whilst it's under pressure).
  2. Using the pipe-wrench on what looks like a nut or valve spindle? (It's called a pipe-wrench for a reason).
  3. Using the pipe-wrench as a hammer-wrench. A big no-no!
This is what you needed boys. screenshot_15.jpg And you should have had the system bled down before working on it.

Apart from that, quite enjoyable.
 
Where's the drama in the scenes if everything is done like it should be, it wouldn't have us talking about any of the episodes then 🤔

I remember back in the day when Dukes of Hazard was on, I could count the bloopers every Friday it was on, it was unbelievable how many there were in each episode😁

Nitpicking the use of a pipe-wrench is somewhat pedantic.
However, the drama, for me, was the working on a live system under pressure. The loose "Weco" union had me wincing.
Maybe that gets addressed in the next episode when the investigation of the accident takes place? (I've only seen the first episode).
 
I'm totally hooked, actually, I have never seen any work that Billy Bob Thornton has done.
After episode 1, I really like his acting style.
 
I like Selleck but I also never watched BlueBloods, I Googled BBT in Sling Blade and he seams unrecognizable in his roll in the movie 🤔
 
Actually since CBS has ruined every remaining show I used to enjoy Bluebloods had been the only remaining show I watched and they stupidly cancelled that. Now it's back to reruns of old NCIS episodes and some oddball things on Netflix I may give this Landman a go, but I'll wait until they begin airing the second season.
In meantime I may go back to "lunch with Tony". :D

The "Landman" series was written specifically for BBT, a great actor who also starred in the "Goliath" TV series. If you like BBT like we do, he does an outstanding job in the first season of the "Fargo" TV series, written by another master story-teller, Noah Hawley.

Goliath and Fargo are both fantastic, worth binge watching.
 
I loved it, brings back memories of when I used to travel there applying, maintaining, and servicing equipment which measured the viscosity profile of fracturing fluid. Incidentally, it is mostly just water and seaweed deriviatives......
