It's about working the oil fields in Texas.
The characters are 90+% White and there are basically zero uggos and the main character's daughter is a stonecold 10, pleasant, fun, sexy and interesting, albeit a bit ditsy - bit it just lightens the mood.
Billy Bob Thornton stars and plays a compelling character; people die doing dangerous work, Sam Eliot plays his 82 year old dad compellingly. The Hispastics are all either drug dealers or assholes with a satisfying early plot line that I won't spoil for you. The police, national guard and governor are on Our side.
There are minimal blacks and only one valorised one but he only comes and goes and is free of any trace of Wakanda Forever horseshit. John Hamm plays an oil magnate that owns the company and Demi Moore plays his wife and it works imo.
It's a bit heavy on female interpersonal drama, particularly BBT's wife but it gets handled in a pretty red pilled and/or funny way.
There's a lot of action, the story moves along at pace. I think it's objectively good and not just by comparison to the steaming piles of woke horseshit we've had to put up with for the past decade or two.
Anyway, recommend if you missed it. There's been 20 1-hour episodes so far across 2 seasons with a good setup for an interesting third.
I agree, season 1 is the stronger season. Season 2 also has the tranny.
Season 2 syndrome strikes again!
Yea I really hope that the non binary girl isn’t more prominent in season 3. At least they did mock the pronoun nonsense but the way she defended her at the end makes me worry she will have a bigger role
I think they'll be a love interest with the daughter
She already has a boyfriend. I hope you are wrong lol
He's likely not wrong.
This has been a common theme in movies/shows for some time now.
The only reason to add such a character is to either convert other people's opinions about them or convert that character back to normal. I have never seen the latter happen in any show/movie. I have seen the former happen 100% of the time.
Also, heteroconversion is a big thing amongst the Hollywood types -- it happens all the time with female characters. I'm not aware of it happening to a male character (yet), but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
They'll take a straight female character and then have her get turned out by a lesbian/trans/dyke/etc., it happened in that show This Is Us, Desperate Housewives, in that GenV spin-off of The Boys, there are various romantic comedies and drama films where that was the theme, heck, the upcoming season of Bridgerton is literally about a straight woman getting converted into a lesbian after her husband died.
I think Mpetey123 is spot-on with this one just based on basic pattern recognition. But, like you, I also hope that isn't the case, as it would be nice if the show ended without steeping into typical Hollywood degeneracy.
There's a tranny? I usually just skip the parts that don't have Thornton in it.
Why are you guys even watching it?
Yeah it's a trainer for the TCU cheer squad
The roommate of the daughter is a girl who makes herself look like a dude and calls herself non binary
