Billy Bob Thornton in a Cowboy Hat in Front of an Oil Rig in Landman
Landman is the latest TV series from Taylor Sheridan, and the premiere episodes dive straight into the deep end of the Texas oil industry. Billy Bob Thornton leads the Landman cast as Tommy Norris, a crisis executive for an oil company who's forced to balance the complicated worlds of his home and family life after they begin to intertwine. The series begins with Tommy's son, Cooper , beginning his first day working the oil fields, where he's toughened up by an experienced crew.
However, it doesn't seem like this is actually the case, with the issue being that the machinery just wasn't up to code. Tommy accuses Cooper of being selfish for wanting to be in the patch in the first place and continues to berate him for his decisions. Cooper suggests that if he has problems, it's because of the way Tommy parented him, implying that he hasn't been an actively engaged father.
✕ Remove Ads The point of Tommy's speech is to suggest that working in oil is an enormous risk. The men who died earlier in the episode are paid $180,000, but at the risk that any day, some tragedy could occur. They're dreamers attempting to turn their lives around, and he admires their ambition. When prompted with the question of whether she's a dreamer or a loser, Ainsley says she wants to be a dreamer.
Tommy and Monty seem like they're on relatively good terms, but this scene reveals that there's a clear hierarchy in their relationship. Later, when Tommy and Cooper discuss Cooper's future career path, Cooper states that Tommy could have been like Monty if he didn't "give up." Tommy disputes that by saying Monty is in his position because he has a trust fund, implying that Jon Hamm's character was born under wealthier circumstances than he.
✕ Remove Ads Ainsley and Cooper are both Tommy's children, though it's unclear if they're full siblings or if Cooper was his son from another woman. Cooper doesn't really look much like Ainsley, and they don't seem to have a close relationship or desire to see each other despite being close in age. While that could just be typical teen/young adult behavior, it also could imply that they haven't been raised together.
