The second season of Landman is absolutely awful. Billy Bob is the only good thing about the show, and even he is barely saving it this season. Season 1 was trashy, but entertaining. Season 2 is just trash- the annoying parts of season 1 are becoming a bigger part of the show. The wife and entitled daughter are extra over the top, the cardboard personality son and his whiny wife are worth a fast forward for all of their scenes.

This week's episode even threw in a bully-type character that antagonized the bubblehead daughter at college. Which would be fine, except the this angry character was non-binary, vegan, bitter, woke and had an unusual name. A very right wing stereotype, despite Sheridan's progressive views in some other areas (i.e Indigenous rights and culture). Just seemed like something thrown in to appease right-wing viewers.

Sam Elliot does improve it a bit, but nowhere near his 1883 character. Thank god it's almost over for the season. Bad second season.

The only other new Sheridan show on the horizon is the Kayce spinoff, Marshals on CBS starting in March. I liked the Kayce character on Yellowstone, but based on trailers, it looks like a very mediocre watered down law enforcement show. Low expectations for that one.

Agree on Mayor of Kingstown. Definitely my favourite. We are only a couple episodes into season 2 of Landman so I've been skimming over, but it seems my take on the first two episodes is correct for the whole season. Disappointing.
