In the latest episode of Landman there's a scene that just made me red with anger. The scene involves a couple who recently had broken up. The male in the relationship had hit on some oil fields and is looking to make serious money. The woman he is dating breaks up with him because she doesn't want her life to change. So she breaks up with him and kicks him out of her house, so the dude leaves.
In this episode he comes back to get some clothes for a funeral. The guy starts crying and tells the woman he misses her, She tells him he didn't miss her enough to fight for her. That he didn't give her any options except to leave everything behind. And then she says the most galling part she tells him she might have kicked him out, but he's the one that left. What the fuck. What's a guy supposed to do? He leaves when she ask, no means no right, and then he's the one that's at fault because he listened to her?
I know I'm going to get the don't watch modern media spiel from some of this board, but I was really bothered by the attitude of the woman here. I think this is how most women think, and it's obnoxious
Landman has been consistent in displaying the women as crazy as fuck. And Billy Bob's character has pointed that out on numerous occasions. Like with his daughter and wife in particular.
Well I don't think you could argue that the wife and daughter are not crazy as fuck. The lawyer girlboss and Camey, Monty's wife, were not crazy.
The lawyer is portrayed as too arrogant for her own good and Camey as too naive for her own good. One of them already gets a slap in the face in E5. So far the only truly competent characters in Landman are Tommy, Dale and Nathan.
I know libs complained about it from day one, but I think they're actually right and this show really does hate women.
They're all fucking terrible 🤣 even the daughter has gotten noticably dumber in S2, every one of her scenes has some dig at how unintelligent or ignorant she is.
I agree with you, she does seem dumber than the first season.
Although she set a pretty low bar for intelligence in the first and second episode with the agreement made with her dad, to not have sex on the couch with her boyfriend, then, telling the boyfriend they were breaking up because he wanted to have sex anyways, and being shocked that he took her literally and left, by saying something like, "He should have changed his mind and done what I wanted." That was pretty fucking stupid of her to expect him to read her mind and do the opposite of what she said.
