    The first few new episodes set up higher stakes and deeper, more slow-burning problems than those of the first season, which often had a snafu-of-the-week formulaic quality. The writing is a degree subtler; there are fewer complaints about green tech and more anti-corporatist spiels. .... Tommy and Angela’s post-divorce reunion, against both of their better judgments, becomes a source of winning stability in Season 2.

    Sticking with that winning blueprint, this love letter to the dying art of dredging oil from the dusky depths of Texas drills deep and strikes gold.

    The second season of Landman is stronger than the first, mainly because the women on the show are in a stronger position than they were last season, giving Thornton’s Tommy all he can handle.

    Those on the fence won’t change their mind about this show after watching another season. However, for roughnecks who have been punching holes waiting for their next dose of Texas tea, the return of Landman once again drills deep into a different perspective on American life.
