A modern-day tale of fortune-telling in the world of West Texas oil drilling
See writer/director Taylor Sheridan’s most popular movies and TV shows on IMDb, ranked by user ratings.. A landman, at least one who works in the oil industry, will serve as a go-between for exploration companies and landowners. It is usually the landowner’s job to negotiate and finalize contracts with landowners with mineral rights to lease those rights to the companies they represent.

In essence, they manage the land and secure the lease so they can drill for oil and gas. Like foremen on a construction site, they build roads, set up camps, assemble excavation machinery, and drill the well itself, especially in remote locations. They are also troubleshooters, problem solvers, and leaders.
Because those characters are TERRIBLE
Who wrote the characters for the daughter and the mother/wife? No 17 year old girl talks to her father like that. It’s extremely creepy and uncomfortable.
Maybe it’s to balance out the creepiness factor in her lines?
Not only does she not act like a teenager around her father, but she also seems 10 years too old to be 17. The mother/wife is insufferable and has an attitude that makes me want to skip her roles. Can there be a female character who is actually likable and doesn’t just act like a sexualized idiot?
