I\u2019m Bill, and I\u2019m the city slicker who\u2019s going to head to Texas with you to break down new episodes of this lovable Billy Bob Thornton drama. As Season 2 begins, the characters are facing many changes. Among them, Monty Miller (Jon Hamm) is dead and his wife Cami (Demi Moore) is taking over M-Tex; cartel boss Jimenez (Alex Meraz) was killed by his boss Gallino (Andy Garcia); Cooper (Jacob Lofland) is trying to make his scandalous relationship with Ariana (Paulina Chavez) work as he heads off on his own to try to be an oil tycoon; and Tommy (Thornton) is promoted to have even <em>more<\/em> responsibilities at M-Tex after Monty\u2019s death. It\u2019s a stressful time, so let\u2019s dive right in.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Between Tommy\u2019s breakfast conspiracy lecture and mainlining coffee and cigarettes before the sun\u2019s up, I\u2019m worried about him having a heart attack, too!<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s good music already this season \u2014 a Turnpike Troubadours needle drop not even five minutes in? Hell yeah!<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe mosquitoes are so big, they can fuck a turkey flat-footed.\u201d Is it possible that\u2019s not a folksy Texas expression but rather a horrifying reality in the South?<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIt\u2019s a young woman\u2019s game here \u2014 no offense.\u201d I\u2019m sorry, Demi Moore made \u201cThe Substance\u201d \u2014 you must treat her with respect or prepare to be eaten alive.<\/li>\n<li>Cami\u2019s speech rules, and is a great reminder of the take-no-prisoners attitude that makes this show special. \u201cThe only difference between me and Monty is I\u2019m meaner. Test me and you\u2019ll find out how much.\u201d Fuck yeah!<\/li>\n<li>How is Cooper\u2019s first drill this successful? Another shoe has to drop on this get-rich-quick operation, right?<\/li>\n<li>Wow, Ariana couldn\u2019t be less excited about being an overnight multimillionaire. Why is she so cagey?<\/li>\n<li>Angela (Ali Larter) expressing her love of grey sweatpants to her daughter, Ainsley (Michelle Randolph), is pretty gross! Will we see Tommy wearing them in a future episode?<\/li>\n<li>Ainsley and this college counselor couldn\u2019t be less of a fit \u2014\u00a0give me a bottle episode with these two on a road trip!<\/li>\n<li>Shout out to Randolph, who walks a tricky line during this scene between being way over her head and disarmingly sweet. It\u2019s hard to empathize with someone who spends the bulk of their admittance meeting babbling on about the importance of hot people having kids together, but she makes it work.<\/li>\n<li>Oof, what a sad introduction to T.L. (Sam Elliott). Is it too soon to cry this season?<\/li>\n<li>T.L.\u2019s harsh rebuttal of reconnecting with his wife after he passes: \u201cIf I do, that means I\u2019m in hell too.\u201d Woof, we\u2019ve got some trauma to explore soon.<\/li>\n<li>The way the Norris women act around Cooper, you can practically smell him through the television.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s funny how quickly everyone scatters when Angela starts throwing plates during her tantrum. Bonus points to those around the table who escaped with their drinks and food in hand.<\/li>\n<li>Tommy and Angela\u2019s rapid, NC-17 make-up after the dinner fight proves that those two loonies are meant for each other.<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s something about Thornton\u2019s cigarette smoking that makes the ugly habit look so appealing, right?<\/li>\n<li>Love that final shot of the sunset, mirroring Tommy to who we now know is his father, T.L., as they both search for meaning in the family matriarch\u2019s death.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tUntil next week, feel free to discuss your own conspiracy theories and far-fetched easy money schemes in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPOILER ALERT:\u00a0This post contains spoilers from Season 2, Episode 1 of \u201cLandman,\u201d \u201cDeath and a Sunset,\u201d which premiered Sunday, Nov. 16, on Paramount+.
