Season 1 Review:
Unfortunately, this isn't a one-man show, and everyone else--cardboard heroes, villains and especially the caricatured women (including Ali Larter as his spoiled, ridiculous sexpot ex-wife)--could use a tune-up. [9 - 29 Dec 2024, p.4]

Season 1 Review:
The problems arise when Landman's ambitious scope fails to thread all the necessary needles. The series never truly grapples with the interconnected ecosystem it's trying to depict. The narrative infrastructure rests upon wealth inequality and racism while barely scratching the surface with legitimate or thought-provoking insight.

Season 2 Review:
Season one’s minimal plotting didn’t leave season two much to work with, but it’s still surprising that “Death And A Sunset” features no follow-up to the finale’s other big cliffhanger. .... So…hooray, welcome Sam Elliott to the Landman cast! And…oh no, his character is horrible and sexist. Why can’t it be all fun?

Season 1 Review:
The underlying themes — including the world’s reliance on an industry that could destroy the planet — could not be timelier and more provocative. As the episodes progressed, however, and Sheridan proceeded to double, triple, and quadruple down with his tired takes on women, it was hard to maintain that same level of enthusiasm.

Season 1 Review:
Big stars (not always well-used), big melodramatic swings (not always well-executed), and big tonal detours that left me unsure if Landman is meant to be at least semi-comedic. There’s a huge ensemble but very few fully conceived characters, just lots of Stetson-wearing dogmatic monologues waiting to happen.
