Very entertaining, with the most accurate description of the oil business & it's true value I've ever heard. Billy Bob knocks it out of the park with his witty gritty savvy role.
Hamm does a good job of portraying a Midland oil executive with his daughter in expensive TCU and living in first class fashion
Go hang out in Odessa Texas for awhile, and drive around the country, you'll see a thriving energy business with the roughest toughest hardest working guys around. Ali Larter also in a pretty accurate role as a rich demanding oil field wife, where nothing is too good for her indulgent tastes.
Mega kudos to Taylor Sheridan for getting this right
BBT holds everything together with his west Texas sense of a moral & ethical code of the west, where rules are bent for the greater good, and often the lesser of two evils. Watch the scene in episode 3 where Tommy enumerates exactly why the wind farms & everything else relies on the oil energy business.
