Ainsley was the troublemaking daughter who drove her father, Tommy, crazy with her adolescent adventures. As a pretty typical teenager, she drove her father up a wall with her partying and dating. Angela was a strong-willed ex-wife to Tommy, who also drove him crazy, both positively and negatively. By about the midpoint of the season, both had moved in with Tommy, and the stress of his personal life matched the stress of his job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They were so much fun. The usually unflappable <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/watched-first-two-eps-taylor-202022173.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Tommy was constantly at his wits' end;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Tommy was constantly at his wits&#8217; end<\/a> with both of them, and yet, his love for both kept him from dismissing them. The family dynamic added a great layer to the show, and while that never really went away on the surface, it felt like by the second half of the season, the writers just ran out of ways to keep Ainsley and Angela occupied.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"L to R Michelle Randolph as Ainsley Norris and Ali Larter as Angela Norris sitting at a table together looking to their right. \" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/8WFOyeDYmuzJ026R_neBMA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/b608963b8bc482c26b0ff97ab00719d9\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Credit: Emerson Miller\/Paramount+<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">The Nursing Home Story Was Lame<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the second half of the season, it really felt like the writers found themselves in a spot where they <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/im-enjoying-taylor-sheridan-landman-132710238.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:weren\u2019t sure what to do with Angela and Ainsley;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">weren\u2019t sure what to do with Angela and Ainsley<\/a>, so they gave them a completely pointless storyline about volunteering at a nursing home in some, shall we say, provocative ways. What started on a whim when the two were driving past the facility became a big B-plotline for the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There were funny moments, for sure. Taking old folks to a strip club is an easy way to build in some good jokes, but it did nothing for the characters in the overall arc of the show. It reduced them to comic relief when they had been so much more earlier in the season. Needling Tommy and forcing him into uncomfortable situations is what made these characters great, not day drinking and playing saucy games at a nursing home. It was all such a disappointment for me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So, I\u2019m here to hope and pray that Season 2 brings them back to their roots in the show\u2014selfish and provocative members of Tommy\u2019s inner circle. <em>Landman<\/em> kicks off next month, and you can see if my hopes are fulfilled with a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/paramount-plus-price-plans-other-134445994.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Paramount+ subscription;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Paramount+ subscription<\/a>.
