Landman: Season 1

"(Thornton) brings genuine juice to speeches that shouldn’t be as entertaining as they are."

"Man, does this new Taylor Sheridan drama hate women."

"Very few fully conceived characters, just lots of Stetson-wearing dogmatic monologues waiting to happen."

"Runs at the pace of an oil derrick, lumbering slowly from one branching plot thread to the next."

"Absolutely packed with zingers. If only its attitude to women wasn’t so repellent."

"Builds an immersive, detailed world... that anchors the show in observed reality."

"(It) isn’t fun enough,... funny enough,... dramatic enough (beyond the eye-rolling soap opera elements), authentic enough... or entertaining enough to merit our attention."

"This has all the makings of a long-running hit."

"Captures the essence of an oil industry that powers much of modern life, though some of its characterisations are rather thin."

"Sheridan's big oil drama is an even bigger misfire."

"Borrows a lot from Yellowstone, but in a fun way."
