Taylor Sheridan’s Texas oil field drama Landman comes to M-Net from Monday, 2 June at 9pm for 10 episodes, featuring a cast as explosive as the world it’s set in: Billy-Bob Thornton; Demi Moore; Jon Hamm and Ali Larter. I’ve already watched all 10 episodes and it reminds me so much of “Dallas”. Being a huge fan of Billy-Bob Thornton, I’m always drawn to the characters that he portrays, and his lead character in “Landman” is so electrifying.

Landman is led by Thornton as Tommy Norris, the overseer of an oil-drilling operation in west Texas. He does the daily dirty work of managing crews in the world’s largest oil field, fending off cartel competition and basically doing the bidding of his boss, Monty (Hamm).
