Tale
A modern tale of fortune-telling in the world of West Texas oil rigs
See writer/director Taylor Sheridan’s most popular movies and TV shows on IMDb, ranked by user rating. A landman, at least one who works in the oil industry, will act as a middleman between exploration companies and landowners.
Essentially, they manage the land and secure the leases so that they can drill for oil and gas
Typically, a landman’s job is to negotiate and finalize contracts with landowners with mineral rights to lease those rights to the company they represent. Like a foreman on a construction site, they build roads, build housing for workers (man camp), set up the excavation machinery, and drill the well itself, especially in remote locations.

They are also, in part, fixers, troubleshooters, and facilitators. So far the show is good, very good, one feeling I can’t shake is the daughter.
Shower scene, talking about sex with her father, showing her ass!
In the show they say the daughter is 17, then they proceed to sexualize her in an extreme way! All these scenes have nothing to do with the plot and make for uncomfortable viewing.
I wish they would rewrite her bylaws and I have no idea how that got past the editors
I understand what they are doing with the character, a daughter going down the wrong path and her father is going to set her on the right path. It could have easily been avoided by just saying she was 18, you can be 18 and still be in high school!
