The whole side story with them hanging out with the residents of the retirement home is just so\u2026 stupid. I guess it\u2019s intended to be a little comic relief, but it\u2019s giving these two characters, who could be great, nothing important to do. I said before the season started that it seemed like Taylor Sheridan and the writers just didn\u2019t know what to do with the duo, and that has remained true thus far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The stakes are high for most everyone on the show. My concern for Cooper (Jacob Lofland) and Ariana (Paulina Ch\u00e1vez) has thus far played out, as <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/first-episode-landman-season-2-200300658.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:their relationship is in dire peril;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">their relationship is in dire peril<\/a>. Cami Miller (Demi Moore) is up against the world following the death of her husband, and as always, Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) is facing down threats from all angles of his professional and personal lives. Ainsely and Angela? Ehhh\u2026 not so much. Sure, they got arrested, but Tommy got them off the hook pretty quickly.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) sits wearing a smart beige suit and holding a Stetson hat in his left hand, his brown eyes gazing at someone off-screen in a still from Landman Season 2.\" 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\/IJlC6xti.0vDtgNib59crQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/7859c7757ebf3dcd19a9ef21b3d3ffd4\"\/><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: Paramount Plus<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">I Don\u2019t Even Want To Watch Their Scenes<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s gotten to the point where it\u2019s upsetting my affection for <em>Landman<\/em>. I found myself picking up my phone and doomscrolling while their scenes played out, rather than paying close attention, and I hate catching myself doing that. I don\u2019t want this to become the kind of show where I only care about one or two characters and the rest bore me. Tommy is one of my favorite characters on TV right now, but in the last episode, I noticed I really only cared about him and the scenes when he was on screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There are too many <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/landman-co-creator-told-actors-223335871.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:potentially great characters;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">potentially great characters<\/a>, including Ainsley and Angela, for <em>Landman<\/em> to turn into a one-man show. Cami\u2019s story is interesting, but like last season, Demi Moore isn\u2019t on the show much, limited to a handful of scenes each week. I\u2019m all in on Ariana and Cooper\u2019s relationship, as I\u2019ve written about. Sam Elliott <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/obsessed-sam-elliott-joining-landman-200753006.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:has joined the cast this season;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">has joined the cast this season<\/a> as Tommy\u2019s dad, which could be interesting, and we\u2019ve not even seen Andy Garcia thus far, and his character is terrifying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, because Angela and Ainsley\u2019s story is so pointless, it\u2019s dragging the whole show down.
