First off, I'd like to start off by saying this is not a paid endorsement. It's my honest review of the series.
If you havenât checked out Landman on Paramount+, put it on your shortlistâthis one is genuinely binge-worthy!
The series is created by Taylor Sheridan, who many people forget started out as an actor before becoming one of the most consistent writer-directors working today. He has a real talent for building worlds that feel authentic, grounded, and lived-inâand Landman might be his strongest work yet.
What makes the show stand out is how each character brings something meaningful to the table. No one feels wasted. The story does an excellent job showcasing the realities of working on âthe patchââthe oil fieldsâthe danger, the lifestyle, the money, and the tight-knit communities that form around that work. It doesnât glamorize blindly, but it doesnât preach either. It just tells the story honestly.
And if youâre a fan of Billy Bob Thornton, this series will absolutely land for you. He fits this world perfectly.
I genuinely recommend giving Landman a chance. If Paramount+ has a discount, even betterâthough just to be clear, no oneâs paying me to say this. I simply believe itâs one of those rare shows that lets you switch off from daily life and get fully immersed in a dangerous, demanding, and surprisingly human world.
Strong storytelling. Strong characters. Well worth your time.
