What Are People Saying About Landman Season 2?

Across Reddit, news outlets, and social media, one theme emerges: viewers are tuning in for Tommy Norris—and cringing at everything else. Billy Bob Thornton continues to be the anchor of Landman's appeal, delivering one-liners and authentic grit that fans can’t stop talking about. Memes celebrating his beer-in‑hand presence have become viral, turning him into an unsolicited brand mascot.

Critics and fans alike, however, frequently slam the supporting characters, especially the wife and teenage daughter, whose scenes are often described as gratuitous or tone-deaf. Subreddits pile up with statements like “I skip their scenes entirely,” and “the women are caricatures.” Meanwhile, users point to slower pacing and confusing plot progress—accusing the show of overextending emotional scenes while underdeveloping core business drama.

Local Texan viewers and culture critics also weigh in, joking about scenes conflating San Antonio with Italy and unrealistic long commutes across oil fields. Some push for Landman Season 2 to ditch the “women drama” and lean fully into oil, cartel tension, and hard-hitting character arcs.

In short: viewers are eager for more—but they want it sharper, tighter, and less wrapped in melodrama.
