RE: Landman (series): It's good but not great

it's following the new trend, which is the old trend revisited, of being released one week at a time and while at first this made me moan a bit, I think that there is a lot of good reason to do stuff this way. While the unimaginative and rather senseless focus on the whiney family continues for all the episodes that I have seen thus far, the story does seem to be developing in a way that could end up being interesting from multiple angles. Basically, you can't really tell exactly where this is going and as much as it pains me to say this, this is just so ubiquitous in basically all of modern tv and cinema.

For now I think that enduring the irritating aspects of this series can be justified because unless they really do something stupid this appears to be something that can be really solid an entertaining. Plus the inside look into the energy industry alone makes it worthwhile. Whether it is true or not will obviously never be confirmed but the way they present it makes is completely believable.
