In the years since "Yellowstone" conquered television, creator Taylor Sheridan's TV shows have spread across the airwaves … or at least, Paramount+. He's since developed shows like "Special Ops: Lioness," "Lawman: Bass Reeves," "Tulsa King," "Mayor of Kingstown," and a number of "Yellowstone" prequels. And then there's "Landman," a show about the oil fields of Texas. While that industry may have once been relegated to classic films like James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor's "Giant" or delightfully cheesy soaps like "Dallas," "Landman" takes the industry seriously as a place full of backstabbing criminals and a whole lot of money. It's still basically a soap opera, if we're being honest, but it's the dark and gritty kind, like Sheridan's fans have come to expect.
