I'm a little late to the party, maybe, but started watching the serie "Landman" (on Paramount+) last night. Have only seen the first episo but I'm hooked already. Looks like it's gonna be excellent.
It could be well written drama, but as it's essentially oil industry propaganda, I won't be tuning in.
people are so weird about this stuff.. even a bunch of professional magazine writers missed a pretty obvious thing.
if you think it's propoganda, and you know that the characters in the show would specifically prefer to spread that sort of propoganda, and then they say things that a person who works in the oil industry would.. why are you surprised?
several spent a LOT of time nitpicking the things people said in the show like "THIS IS WRONG! LOOK AT THIS RESEARCH!" ..
yeah sure buddy. whether it is or not, imagine the main character saying "well damn guys i think wind energy would be better, but i guess we're stuck with this.." over and over
it's just silly.
