The series also shattered the Paramount+ record as the most-watched original show in the network\u2019s history by reaching 14.9 million households in the first four weeks. Since its release,\u00a0<em>Landman<\/em>\u00a0has been praised\u00a0for portraying nuanced characters and telling authentic, meaningful stories.<\/p>\n<p>The series largely wastes no characters, and both Ainsley and Ariana\u2019s perspectives add to the story that\u00a0<em>Landman<\/em>\u00a0is telling. The series doesn\u2019t need an antagonist to make the stakes higher. The reality of Tommy\u2019s daily life is stressful and intense enough. The show also doesn\u2019t hold back on gruesome deaths and terrible incidents. With\u00a0<em>Landman\u00a0<\/em>being rooted in real-world inspiration, there are many untold stories that the show can tackle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Landman\u2018s Ainsley and Ariana stars talk about their hopes for season 2 renewal with the Taylor Sheridan show wrapping up the 10-episode season 1.
