The season 2 of "Landman" has been disappointing for some viewers, with some devotees expressing disappointment over the show's treatment of Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) and the portrayal of Angela and Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) as oil company propaganda. The show's focus on the oil industry is too thin, with Tommy Norris' anti-solar energy rants and criticism of wind turbines and other forms of non-petroleum-based resources. Despite this, there are still some fans who believe the show is trying to be funny and make sense by placating people. The female characters in the cast seem to be treated as lesser beings compared to their male counterparts, and the show’s focus on environmentalism has been lacking. Despite its success, the show has been praised by its fans as a comedy and has been criticized for being so serious compared to its portrayal of "Yellowstone."
