Complete first episode is up for free on YouTube:



edit - OK, watched the first episode.

Yes full of Texas trope, but I did not dislike it. Most Taylor Sheridan series do let me down at some point. And Billy Bob carries the whole thing. He deserves an Emmy for his expression at 39:05 alone.

Just started watching this. Does anyone know if this is supposed to be set in the modern day, or is it recent history? it seems the West Texas/Eagle Ford fracking was at its peak 10-15 years ago.

edit - Modern day, references to COVID. While I'm sure someone will correct me, it looks to me they are portraying stuff that primarily happened 2010-2015 or so.

Watched the first 2 episodes. Not the greatest show in the world, but I like it. Agree that Billy Bob is great

Present day, when he asked the QB "you know Saban retired right?" LOL

I thought the first two episodes were pretty good.

Some of the dialog was a little ham-handed ... like the multiple references to 24-hour schedules from workers, waitresses and DJs -- we get it ... "there ain't no lunch in the patch" -- but overall, it's setting up to be interesting.

Billy Bob doing Billy Bob things.

SPOILER;

when the crew goes out to work on the pumpjack, why weren't they using a brass hammer? Brass hammers don't create sparks.

First ep delivered. All in.

Also, a reminder why God didn't give me daughters. I'm not tough enough for prison.

Something I noticed in the first seen that bothered me through the rest of episode 1: BBTs truck didn't have a cell booster on it and I didn't see one on any truck for the rest of the episode.

Anyone that drives west of Abilene will notice that 90% of the trucks out there have one mounted to their headache rack.

When he's sitting on the tailgate after the accident you can see the antenna for one.

Yeah. It's on the driver side on the headache rack.

First two episodes were very entertaining.

It's a perfect character for BBT.

I think I liked the 2nd episode even more than the 1st. I'm in for the rest!

I figured this would be a typical over the top Taylor Sheridan portrayal. It was, but it wasn't too bad. Watched the first episode and will watch the second tonight. Curious to see where this all goes.

The portrayal of a Landman having a crazy ex.....100% accurate.

Sheridan's next three series in the works, from a source I know that hangs with him up in Bosque county:

*A serial killer rodeo clown leaves a trail of bodies at NFR events scattered across the west.
*John Wesley Hardin series
*Galveston Hurricane of 1900. Deadliest natural disaster in American History.

Source: Trust me bro.


At some point someone needs to combine all his shows into one giant spoof and call it ****show.

Nah.

Sheridan makes shows that red state/flyover America loves and blue state/coastals are perplexed with. But they watch too.

The guy is genius.

Love the ringtone and photo when she calls.

Enjoyed it..I'm in. BBT does a pretty good Texan. That 17 year old daughter sure has no issues talking about her sexual exploits with daddy, yikes. Lots of Tech references being in West Texas. Sheridan grew up in Ft. Worth so the TCU scenes make sense. Wonder if any Ags show up?

And there's no way BBT's son would've survived that close to the blast. Those kids of fires burn very hot.

She's hot af. And perfect for that role.

You'd be shocked at how open women are with their sex lives to their parents btw.

The Series is based on the Podcast, Boomtown by Christian Wallace.

Unless there are flashbacks, or he is ghost, he's not coming back.

"Hey Walt, can we build a road on that side over there so we can elbow around this **** ?"

"Over there where the dead body and drugs are? No."

"Ok well how about that side over there…is there any dead bodies or dope over there?"

"Haven't looked over there yet…"

"Well how about we ****ing go look there. Not any dead guys over here not any dope.
****....Walt, there's a dead sumbeesh over here."

Yeah I'm hooked on this. BBT was perfect for this role.

Is animal style an actual thing at Whataburger? Or did TS get confused with In N Out?

Yeah, I didn't understand that. It's a miniscule detail but seems like a weird one to miss.

Can someone who has worked in the oil fields explain why they were using a metal hammer on a metal wrench vs a rubber mallet? To me that seems like a "duh" kind of thing especially when working around natural gas

The pinky scene in the hospital was a nice touch. My dad did the same thing with his thumb when it got caught between two pieces on metal on a plow, pre-cell phone era.
