    “Landman” is Billy Bob Thornton at his best

    Nice, thanks for the tip. I enjoyed Goliath; I suppose this is in a similar vein?

      I never saw ‘Goliath’ but Billy Bob is always worth a watch.

      He’s the ‘landman’ for a medium sized independent oil company. He deals with drug cartels who use his equipment to smuggle across the border, bureaucrats, lawyers, his crazy family, and a host of Texas locals.

        He sure is.

        Thanks for the quick summary. I guess Goliath is the counterpart: a lawyer who takes on a different Goliath in each season, usually rural America.

          While we’re on the subject.

          I could have put in a plug for “Penny Dreadful” on Paramount and Showtime.

          Eva Green as a psychic and Timothy Dalton as a big game hunter searching for a lost girl in London, circa 1890.
