Ali Larter talks exclusively about filming Paramount Plus’s rich and gritty new series Landman with Billy Bob Thornton.

In Landman, filmmaker Taylor Sheridan turns his attention to the dangerous and very masculine oil industry. TV critic Eric Deggans says the series often portrays women as caricatures.

Every oil company has a landman, we learn in the premiere of Taylor Sheridan’s new Paramount+ drama. The person in this position secures the company’s rights to drill land, keeps the employees in check and generally keeps things running — even if he has to do things that aren’t exactly legal to make that happen.
