A Landman, at least one who works in the oil industry, will act as an intermediary between exploration companies and landowners. 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. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, housing workers (human camp), oversee the assembly of excavation machinery, and the drilling of the well itself, especially in remote locations. They are also part fixer, problem solver, and facilitator. Quoted in CBS News Sunday Morning: Episode #44.24 (2022). For someone so focused on their goals, the inclusion of an emotionally unstable one-woman circus completely undermines the purpose of the show. Her character seems to disrupt the central narrative, adding unnecessary chaos rather than supporting her journey. The portrayal doesn’t enhance the plot but instead makes it harder to take his determination and focus seriously. Likewise, the roles of both his wife and daughter feel out of place within the series. The wife appears emotionally uneven, while the daughter seems to lack intellectual depth, making her contribution to the plot negligible. The portrayal of the daughter feels particularly shallow, with her character offering little beyond surface-level engagement, which adds little value to the story beyond drawing in viewpoints, and seems out of sync with the tone of the series. Rather than enhancing the plot or character dynamics, this approach feels like a shallow attention-grabbing tactic. It’s an odd and unnecessary addition that detracts from the overall quality of the narrative.
