saying. Overall I enjoyed the show and am definitely hoping for a season 2. I'm not sure about the soap opera take, as I feel all TV dramas are to some point. Look at Sopranos, Breaking Bad, or The Wire. All were soap operaish at times. I do feel like too many storylines were going on by episode 4 or 5 of Landman. I think the Angela/Ainsley stuff is just to show what Tommy's life outside of work is like and provide some comic relief, but honestly Tommy himself provides most of the show's comedy in my opinion with his matter of fact delivery of one liners. So I'd like to see much less of Angela/Ainsley going forward. I kind of dread the scenes with just those two and their escapades. I don't mind the Cooper story because that's obviously going somewhere related to the oil industry. I do feel like it was unnecessarily rushed and would have liked to see a much longer arc with him working a crew before the explosion, him getting beat up, getting together with Ariana, and quitting. Going forward could be good with Cami becoming more central to the storyline in a potential season 2 along with Andy Garcia (don't remember his character's name). Overall, pretty entertaining but definitely has some flaws ** Edited by tchokie at 1/15/2025, 5:01:37 PM ** Edited by tchokie at 1/15/2025, 5:02:50 PM
