Landman Season 2 Review: Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone Replacement Fails to Live Up to the Neo-Western Drama

Taylor Sheridan is a major force in television, currently involved in numerous projects. His recent deal, which ends his long relationship with Paramount in 2029, is worth over a billion dollars – an amount most TV writers can only imagine. Interestingly, Sheridan often doesn’t use a traditional writers’ room for his shows, and this is particularly noticeable in the second season of Landman. While the first season of Landman had its issues, it showed potential. Billy Bob Thornton did a solid job as a knowledgeable businessman dealing with the harsh realities of the oil industry and human nature. However, Season 2 feels less like a unique show and more like a rehash of Yellowstone – Sheridan’s breakout hit – struggling to find its own place within his expanding television universe.
