Typically, a landman’s job is to negotiate and finalize contracts with landowners with mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent Essentially, they manage the land and secure the leases, so they can drill oil and gas. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build out roads ,living quarters for the workers (man-camp), assemble the excavation machinery and drill the well itself especially in remote locations.

Since Sicerio I’ve been all in on anything Sheridan’s name is attached to. Seeing what he’s capable of from his incredible screenplays and films directed in the past, I have to admit I’m a bit disappointed thus far four episodes into Landman.
I don't see any of the subplot involving them adding anything significant to moving the plot forwardSheridan is best when he puts his foot down on the pedal of action-drama as seen in this second season Special Ops: Lioness or all of his previous dramas
Maybe its because I had very high expectations coming in with all the big name actors also included, but also venturing into the boomtown lifestyle after an amazing expanding venture into the ranch life.But I feel like Sheridan is having a bit too much fun incorporating wasteful scenes with Tommy's Ex-wife, Ali Larter, and his over-the-top daughter, Michelle Randpolh, who was excellent in 1923. Knowing what he’s capable of it’s fussing but with only four episodes in I still have hope that he’ll utilize Jon Hamm more and this show will lift off.The mother daughter scenes together are very cringe and I hate to say it but Randolph is just way too over the top and I can’t buy into her acting at all.I hope this isn’t another project for his own entertainment value as with tulsa king s2 turning into a comedy interrupted by brief moments of great drama (loved the first season).I know Sheridan has his own umbrella and running so many shows but I wish he would focus on quality over quantity because this series has a chance to be excellent giving it gets serious.
