The Official Television Thread

I was watching a few episodes of Landman. But is it a TV show if it's just one long movie? And it should have been a movie because this way it's stretched out and thus frequently boring. So as with any TV show about some industry today, we'll learn that people working in the oil industry are badass. They are hard on the outside but soft on the inside. It's hard to get under their shell, but once you get in, they love you.

We also learn that those oil companies' CEOs actually suffer as they sit around their pools in their villas; they actually worry a lot about their oil drills. They can't relax, you know, even as attractive women swim around them in bikinis because, after all, they are saving the world because, according to this show, wind farms cannot supply a city with electricity because they are too far or something. But wait, doesn't the UK get something like 30% of their electricity through wind farms, you may ask? Well, this show certainly doesn't.

I mean I thought this was gonna be more serious, like why do they always pay for those crooked politicians like Trump to come to power and create laws for them to pollute more and start wars for oil. But, instead, it's like an ad for working in an oil company. You literally have a guy in the first episode telling you how this young 24 years old guy already paid for his house just by working in oil drilling.

But, then again, as with any TV show, maybe it gets better as it progresses.

I signed up for the network that carries Landman in a free seven day trial.  Husband wanted to watch it.  He made it partway through and got bored with it so I was able to stop the subscription before fees kicked in.  He had high hopes for the show and stuck it out for about two thirds of it before calling it not worth it.

Halfway through Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen. It’s terrific.
