This new series from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is absolutely packed with zingers. If only its attitude to women wasn’t so repellant
ost TV writers would love to be Taylor Sheridan. Some might profess not to be fans – they might even be snobby about his work, claiming it to be vulgar and too popular with American conservatives – but plenty crave the status he now enjoys: he is more famous than his shows. What’s Landman? It’s the new Taylor Sheridan.
What really matters, though, is the ability to slam down a zinger. Sheridan is an able dramatist, but his real calling is as an epigrammatist, and in Landman he properly lets rip. Almost everything that Tommy – “a divorced alcoholic with $500,000 in debt, and I’m one of the lucky ones” – says is quoteworthy pith, as he metaphorically and sometimes literally fights fires in an industry where “there’s two types of people: dreamers and losers”.
