Plot
A modern tale of fortune-telling in the world of West Texas oil rigs
Check out writer/director Taylor Sheridan’s most popular movies and TV series on IMDb, ranked by user rating. A landowner, at least one who works in the oil industry, will serve as a middleman between exploration companies and landowners. Typically, a landowner’s job is to negotiate and finalize contracts with landowners who have mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent.

Essentially, they manage the land and secure the leases, so that they can drill for oil and gas. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, build housing for workers (man camps), assemble the excavation machinery, and drill the well itself, especially in remote locations. They are also part fixer, part problem solver, and part facilitator.
Similarly, the roles of her wife and daughter seem out of place in the show
For someone so focused on her goals, the inclusion of an emotionally unstable one-woman circus completely undermines the purpose of the show. Her character feels like a distraction from the central narrative, adding unnecessary chaos rather than supporting her journey. The portrayal does not enhance the plot, but instead makes it harder to take her determination and focus seriously.
Rather than enhancing the plot or character dynamics, this approach comes across as a superficial tactic to grab attention
The wife comes across as emotionally erratic, while the daughter seems to lack intellectual depth, making her contribution to the plot negligible. The daughter’s portrayal feels particularly shallow, with her character offering little engagement beyond a superficial level, which does not add value to the story. Additionally, the fact that these characters are constantly jumping around in provocative clothing, seemingly for no other purpose than to attract attention, feels out of sync with the tone of the series.
