So Andy Garcia is supposed to be on this show and we’re 5 episodes in. If he’s the cartel boss, that’s just extremely lazy, so that’s exactly what Sheridan will do. 
 

Billy Bob has basically outlined Hilcorp’s business model in the last 2 episodes. They also do a fair amount of business in the border counties as well. Let’s say Jon Hamm is a Jeff Hildebrand analog. Can you imagine a guy as legitimate as Jeff meeting with fucking El Mayo or El Chapo?! The Hamm - Garcia is coming. Only in the Sheridan-verse.

Damn, does that ending mean we won't get 15 minutes of somber lawn care again?

And a fucking bizarre refusal to shower afterward. Um, what? Does he have a phobia? What the fuck, man?! Who doesn't shower after lawn work? The character looks like Pig-Pen in every scene.

This show is so weird. I'm convinced Sheridan uses AI to churn out this schlock.

Why was that dude STANDING and WALKING on the dangerously mismatched pile of pipes he was complaining about? He was behaving like an NPC in a video game with bugged pathing.

Then Billy Bob - instead of asking one of the thirty dudes standing around for a phone, he meanders to his truck to borrow the wife's. 

Then my favorite part of the scene - calls 911 and says "I have a white male in his 30's" like he's reporting a crime to police.

Tell us you don't know anyone who has worked in O&G or been west of 35 without telling us

Yeah, he wasn't going anywhere.

I'm enjoying the show, but as others have said, it is way over the top.  I'm not sure about the timeline, but in his first couple of weeks (days?) on the job, Pig Pen sees his fellow workers blown up/incinerated, another guy lose a hand, and he may have been beaten to death by some assholes that can't control their testosterone.  And the lady lawyer was something else.  Her slander threat was laughable . . . and it worked!

Come on. It's funny/odd he wouldn't even shower after yard work. And I'm pretty sure he didn't go to work in this episode.

Yes..I've never worked in O&G. I can imagine guys who work out in the heat on oil rigs all day get sweaty and dirty. I also imagine they do take showers.

[MissingInAction 25426]

Half the show is prolonged scenes of eating, mowing, driving, oil piping, while absolutely nothing is said to further the idiotic plot.

It's like watching the Avengers.  There's no reality to the story and lots of the action; but there's this (at least for me) entertaining collision of normal people, absurd people, real places, and absurd things that happen alongside daily life... and I'm just gonna let myself sit back and be entertained by that.

I'm a homesick Texan; I like the setting and lots of other details people have mentioned:  As a son of a Permian football player and grandson of west Texas oil man, I like it.  Plus BBT casting (Friday Night Lights) and Larter (Varsity Blues) makes this a slice of nostalgia pie.  Oh and not to forget the credits music that is very similar to Explosions in the Sky from FNL movie. 

Based on the end of the last episode, not sure what to make of the PigPen's status.  Wouldn't be surprised either way.  But you could see it coming a mile away when Ariana told him to never miss a family meal - you never know which one will be your last.

Garcia is going to be Ali Larter's hotelier husband I am pretty sure...  that just makes sense to me given she's on here way to Ft. Worth as well.   Separately....

 

Spoiler

Demi Moore's character in IMDB had last name "Norris" I think I saw at some point (not anymore).  Billy Bob's sister?  She has had fuck all to do, but I think she'll be more involved in the back half of the season.

Deadline has Garcia’s character name as Galino. https://deadline.com/2024/05/andy-garcia-landman-taylor-sheridan-paramount-plus-1235902249/amp/
 

Sounds like a made up Sheridan cartel name. And Victor is the name of Ali’s current husband on the show. Billy Bob has also described him as a fat ATM. While Andy Garcia is far from yoked, I wouldn’t describe him as fat.
