Poetic license to the extreme, episode 1 was great theatre. They rolled several disciplines into one character to compress the story. The result was a landman on steroids. As you pointed out, they did the same with the service crews. For example the loose hammer union and subsequent explosion was a big stretch. Being a pumper, I am listening for escaping gas as I drive up to a well. High pressure gas will create a great volume of sound as it jets that can be heard easily 50 to 100 yards. Also the amount of gas needed for the filmed explosion would suffocate the worker. He could not have gotten close to the pumping tee to make a repair. Closing you guys did a good critique job. Enjoyed your comments.
I can see that opening scene being a little more realistic in the south Texas/Carrizo Springs area rather than the Permian Basin (if at all). The attention to detail was interesting, including the “Friday Night Lights” nod. They even got the Odessa Permian HS fight song correct. They did pretty good portraying the heavy traffic with fast moving pickups and trucks, that is definitely a thing in the Permian Basin. I’m going to continue watching and see how it goes.
Appreciate the kinds words and engagement! This show is a little off the hook, but at the end of the day, it has some people talking positive about oil and gas.
@TheCrudeLifeContentNetwork Episode 8 finally pushed it to the point I may not finish the show. I do have an interest in learning more about the industry politics aside.
@@Rocks_Dad I called this last episode the Slow Grind episode... I've heard from several this was the final one for them. I'm gunna see it through but understand the push back without a doubt! Thanks for the engagement and listening!
I just want to say when they're trying to close the valve I believe they were going the wrong way. If you look at the lockout tagout. Especially in episode 2 it was going the opposite way of what it should have
Unrealistic Hollywood! I do love this show because the writing is so rich. Best writing to date is still “The Wire”. I have seen all Landman episodes so far and some scenes were very predictable. Now the hammer scene: As soon as the hammer starts hitting the metal. Hollywood you can do better than that! Knew that was coming. When the widow put her head on the bosses kids shoulder, cmon you know he is going to get the §hit beat out of him. I almost had a stroke laughing when I saw the babes and brew scene. As a 68yo man I promise you a lot of guys near my age are gonna be hooked if they see that scene as well as seeing 48 yo Ali Larter after a lengthy hiatus. Your demographic might do a paradigm shift lol jk. I wonder if the Babes and Brew would fly here in Alabama? Thanks D

I know of no oilman who would allow his 17 year old daughter to talk and act that way. Ex wife same deal. Good show minus the goofy hollywood crap
Exactly
Im a landman and have been held at gunpoint twice, but then again, I tend to ignore no trespassing signs in the almighty pursuit of the INK! ;)
