00:00Landman Season 2

00:02Episode 1 proves Taylor Sheridan still doesn't know how to write women.

00:07Season 2 opens with Tommy juggling cartel fallout, oilfield politics, and the emotional

00:12exhaustion of nearly losing his life.

00:14When Cooper calls with urgent news, Tommy briefly panics, assuming Ariana might be pregnant.

00:20Instead, Cooper reveals he's struck literal gold in his mining venture, a discovery worth

00:24about $10 million a year.

00:27The premiere wastes no time setting up tension, power shifts, and big personalities.

00:32But it also immediately exposes Sheridan's ongoing weakness, his inconsistent, often baffling

00:37writing for women.

00:39Ainsley aims for TCU, and her admissions interview becomes unintentionally hilarious.

00:45She claims her last school banned athletes and cheerleaders from dating, preventing future

00:49generations from being the hottest they could be.

00:52Somehow, chaos pays off.

00:54She's accepted as a walk-on cheerleader.

00:57But behind the comedy, the Norris family remains a pressure cooker of privilege, dysfunction,

01:02and terrible communication.

01:04The Norris family dinner dissolved into shouting, smashed plates, and a painfully awkward discussion

01:09about Angela's menstrual cycle.

01:11The dialogue feels like it was written by someone who has heard of periods, but never

01:15interacted with a woman during one.

01:18It's clunky, tone-deaf, and another reminder that Sheridan often misses the mark with female

01:23perspectives.

01:24Demi Moore's Cammie Miller delivers the episode's most electric moment.

01:29Still grieving Monty and stepping into her new leadership role, she faces cattiness from

01:33younger women before an investor meeting.

01:35Instead of shrinking, she unleashes a powerhouse speech.

01:39The only difference between me and Monty is I'm meaner.

01:42Test me and you will find out how much.

01:45It's sharp, commanding, and easily the highlight of the episode.

01:49A new character, seemingly Tommy's father, played by Sam Elliott, appears just before receiving

01:55news that Dorothy passed.

01:57Tommy learns moments later that his mother has died, setting up major emotional fallout.

02:03There are 10 episodes, running weekly from November 16th, 2025 through January 18th, 2026.
