A modern-day story of the pursuit of fortune in the world of West Texas oil rigs

Check out the most popular movies and TV shows by writer/director Taylor Sheridan on IMDb, ranked by user ratings. A landowner, at least one who works in the oil industry, will act as a go-between for exploration companies and landowners. It’s usually the landowner’s job to negotiate and finalize contracts with landowners with mineral rights to lease those rights to the companies they represent. Essentially, they manage the land and secure the lease so they can drill for oil and gas.

They’re well-written and entertaining

Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, housing for workers (a man camp), oversee the installation of drilling equipment, and the drilling itself, especially in remote locations. They’re also part fixer, part problem solver, and part mover. Reference to CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #44.24 (2022). I obviously love Taylor Sheridan’s shows.

It’s very gratuitous

I’d love to watch anything he’s got going on right now. But what about the girl in her underwear and her horrible sexualization? It’s very strange how uncomfortable she is. It’s almost so off-putting that you don’t want to watch.

The ex-wife is just ugggh

I’m invested in the story so far. I also don’t understand why this woman is so amazing. This is a real head scratcher. Is the show designed just to appeal to men?

I love Billy Bob

He’s always a plus.
