Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman’ Stuns Viewers With Outrageous Sex Talk Scene Between Billy Bob Thornton’s Character & His Teenage Daughter

There's no question that Taylor Sheridan is the busiest man in Hollywood right now, cranking out show after show, movie after movie... when does the man sleep? And while most of his shows are pretty good, some speculate that he's spread himself too thin, and the quality has suffered. Is it fair? Hard to say...  but it's definitely a popular assumption. His latest, Landman, premiered last night, and has garnered some mixed reviews. Starring Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm and more, the show is described as: “Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, LANDMAN is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs. Based on the notable 11-part podcast “Boomtown” from Imperative Entertainment and Texas Monthly, the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.” The trailer actually looked pretty awesome, and the soundtrack is actually pretty killer. More on that coming soon, but much like Yellowstone, we have some great country and red dirt music on there from bands like Whiskey Myers, Brent Cobb, Treaty Oak Revival, 49 Winchester, Tanner Usrey, Turnpike Troubadours and more. Of course, we've only seen two episodes so far, and there is plenty more to come, but right out of the gate, fans were a little disturbed by one scene in particular. Thornton's character, Tommy Norris, has a fairly graphic conversation with his 17 year old daughter Ainsley, played by Michelle Randolph, who happily tells her own father how she loves having sex with her boyfriend and all the graphic ways they avoid getting pregnant. As the father of a young girl, I found it pretty mortifying, but also just flat out unrealistic and cringey. I mean, what teenager talks like that with her father? https://twitter.com/big_business_/status/1858582783263662379 See what I mean? My God, she's a child... Needless to say, there was PLENTY of commentary about this particular scene and most of it wasn't pretty. https://twitter.com/MilitaryMind11/status/1858344569571529184 https://twitter.com/arthurwatkins/status/1858660383071797576 https://twitter.com/DocLanceP/status/1858605753931886949 https://twitter.com/BryanOgden/status/1858644963988328643 https://twitter.com/RealisticBuck/status/1858644138775753162 https://twitter.com/BrianDOLeary/status/1858649842639401261 https://twitter.com/Oh_Katie_Babie/status/1858665082819146099 https://twitter.com/malindanina/status/1858504579089895724 https://twitter.com/doc_tcu/status/1858577801764368594 https://twitter.com/texassurf/status/1858655023196238024 https://twitter.com/scootsmagee1/status/1858655802887737424 https://twitter.com/DougCli13776839/status/1858623681741693003 https://twitter.com/tcu1021/status/1858581560267595924 In addition to Oscar-winner Billy Bob Thornton, as well as Jon Hamm, and Demi Moore, Landman stars Ali Larter, 1923’s Michelle Randolph, Jacob Lofland, Kayla Wallace, Taylor Sheridan mainstay James Jordan, Mark Collie, and Paulina Chávez. Andy Garcia and Michael Peña will also feature in guest roles. Thornton plays Tommy Norris, a crisis manager for an oil company, while the always incredible Jon Hamm takes on the role of Monty Miller, a powerful Texas oil industry vet who goes way back, both personally and professionally, with Tommy Norris. Demi Moore stars as Cami, the wife of another powerful oil baron in Texas and a friend of Norris. The first two episodes premiered last night, with the remaining 8 set to air every Sunday on Paramount Network. Check out the full trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zxh49-bsIk
