Billy Bob Thornton Shines in Taylor Sheridan's Oil Drama 'Landman'
Billy Bob Thornton shines in Taylor Sheridan's new Paramount+ series "Landman," where he plays Tommy Norris, an oil-company fixer with a knack for colorful, profane dialogue. The show, co-created by Sheridan and Christian Wallace, explores the complexities of the oil industry in Texas's Permian Basin, blending drama with social commentary. While Thornton's performance is captivating, the series struggles with pacing and character development, particularly in the underutilized roles of Jon Hamm and Demi Moore. "Landman" premieres on November 17.
