Landman (2026) season two might not be as good as season one in some parts, but it is still as fun.
Landman (2026) is one of the more entertaining shows currently running. The dialogue is witty, hilarious, and a mile a minute. The show has enough drama to keep you intrigued and enough humor to keep you laughing. Season two of Landman (2026) doesn’t really deviate from the formula that makes the show so interesting and entertaining.
It keeps everything moving and, at times, goes a little off the rails without being chaotic. But all the same, I think it’s still a good season and a worthy follow-up to season one. With season two, they definitely upped the ante and made it a lot crazier, which I thought would be hard to do. The first season ends pretty chaotically as well, but I still believe the show doesn’t necessarily go too far.
It feels like it will go off the rails at times, but Landman (2026) always pulls it back and makes sense of the craziness. TV shows nowadays seem to be doing whatever it takes to be crazy and chaotic just to keep you entertained.
Landman (2026) also has a reason to be a bit more chaotic than others, given its subject matter.
They do deal with a lot of criminals, which is why the scenarios are not uncommon in the show. Billy Bob Thornton delivers a performance of a lifetime, seemingly playing his character, Tommy Norris, with ease on Landman. There isn’t a moment when he doesn’t feel believable. I think the same goes for his wife/ex-wife in the show, Ali Larter, who plays Angela.
This also goes for just about everyone on the show. Season two introduced Sam Elliott as TL Norris, Billy Bob Thornton’s character’s dad. I was worried he’d only be in a handful of episodes and would’ve passed away, but it seems he’s here to stay.
I absolutely love that, and Billy Bob Thornton and Sam Elliott are delivering incredible performances on this show. Sam Elliott is absolutely killing it in this role. Season two also seamlessly adds in the new characters. When you’re watching a TV show, and they add in a new character, it always feels forced for the most part.
In Stranger Things, when they would add new characters every season, it felt at times overwhelming because of how many people you had to pay attention to. Sometimes, eventually, it does pay off, and they seem well integrated into the regular cast, but with Landman, the way they come in is perfect, and they don’t seem to hog up any screen time that you don’t want to see.
The only person in the show I feel is lacking in the acting department is Demi Moore.
I don’t think she’s that great of an actress to begin with, so it’s not necessarily something that was going to change when I watched the show. Everyone in the show is playing a southern character, and they all feel believable in that way.
Demi Moore does not feel believable as a businesswoman in the South. Her accent is not believable, unlike everyone else’s on the show, who are absolutely nailing their southern accents and dialects.
As someone born and raised in the South, I can definitely tell when someone’s faking it and when they’re actually nailing it. Demi Moore got more screen time this season of Landman (2026), but the other actors often carry her in her scenes.
Luckily, she has really good chemistry with Billy Bob Thornton, so their scenes together are pretty great. I have to say, this season might be a little funnier than the first. A lot of that has to do with some of the circumstances they seem to be putting the characters in.
A lot of the humor in Landman (2026) comes from Tommy’s wife on the show, which I’d say is comedy relief, since her character is so over-the-top.
Over the top might be a slight, because there are actually a lot of people I’ve met in my life who are exactly like her. Putting words to describe her character is something I don’t plan on doing, as I feel like she’s going to jump out of the screen and yell at me for doing so.
A great thing about Landman (2026) is that every single character, for the most part, is extremely entertaining, and you’re not frustrated when it cuts them. Drawing back to Stranger Things and similar TV shows with an entourage, it kind of feels like when they cut to someone else, you want to see what the person you just got away from was doing.
You don’t want to see what the person they just cut to is doing, because it breaks the tension and momentum.
With Landman, I’ve never felt that way, as I’ve always been curious to see what each character is doing. I think some people weren’t impressed by Tommy’s son in Landman (2026), Cooper Norris, played by Jacob Lofland. But I think his character is a pretty good representation of what a young Tommy Norris would be like.
He starts as an underdog in season one, and by this point in season two, he is definitely in the big leagues, fighting for his share. It’s a pretty cool way to see his character grow from just being a worm on an oil rig to becoming one of the top dogs in the industry, so to speak.
Landman (2026) also has really good music and cinematography. Both play well into the show, elevating key scenes that might otherwise feel mundane. When they film in Texas, you see all kinds of cool scenery. Also, where they dig for oil, you get these long, gravel, desert roads. It looks pretty cool and creates some awesome scenes.
The last episode of Landman (2026) wraps everything up so well and also gives some great answers to the problems Tommy faces. I think it helped the season a bunch, since a lot of people leaned on it. It built and built, but had a great payoff, which is just what you need.
It made me very excited for next season and what the future holds for the story. There are many new roads they could take.
Overall, I’m really excited for season three of Landman (2026), as it’s already been announced. I don’t think the show will slow down anytime soon, and I think it’ll keep growing. It’s one of the biggest shows in the world right now. It is the most popular show that Paramount+ has ever seen.
I think Landman (2026) will continue to grow, and they’ll also bring in bigger actors for season three, because who doesn’t want to be part of this? The show has everything: the actors can show off incredible acting chops and work with a bunch of legends. It sounds like a good deal to me.
