TV show “Landman” provides some oil and gas “truth bombs” for viewers

I am watching the Paramount+ show “Landman.” It is the latest by director Taylor Sheridan and it is entertaining, especially Billy Bob Thornton’s title character Tommy Norris. And, while the show is unrealistic in its inflated portrayal of the dangers of the oil patch and I don’t think anyone could keep up Tommy’s hectic schedule and deal with all the issues he faces, his character delivers some epic speeches. The one below is a short, profanity laced, defense of the oil and gas industry.

Check out the first 3 minutes of the following clip for one of the most eloquent defenses of oil and gas you’ll see in popular media (the dialogue really starts 45 seconds in). The woman is a young attorney working with Tommy’s company.
