Warren Martin, executive director, Kansas Strong, shares his review of Episode 5: Where Is Home, of the new series Landman streaming exclusively on Paramount Plus.
There was trouble in Texas in the last episode of Taylor Sheridan’s oil drama, and Landman Episode 5, “Where Is Home”, picks up right where we left off – here’s Warren Martin and Jason Spiess with full recap.
Landman Season 1 Episode 5, “Where Is Home,” doesn’t just ask where you live — it asks where you truly belong.
We’re now halfway through Landman, but there’s still plenty more to unfold. Will Angela and Tommy succeed at giving their marriage another shot? Will Monty get a handle on all the shenanigans in Midland? And will Demi Moore actually get something to do or say in this series?
Topics covered in the interview reaction with Warren Martin:
Oilfield Logic - episode starts out with some oilfield workers solving life’s problems
Trying to get money from a billionaire
Did the lawyer become the new villian or patsy with her attempt to manipulate the deceased worker’s 401Ks?

Angela attempts to have a family dinner in Midland
Angela’s entitlement economy and emotional rollercoaster in the workplace
The infusion of “woke” culture and old fashioned “sexuality”
The separation of Source and Produced Product in the oil industry
The layered cartel storyline, one thread discussed is whether the series is positioning the oil and gas industry as a “legal cartel backed by the US Army”

The pipe accident shows how Hollywood will exaggerate events in order to advance a simple storyline like a workplace accident
“We are here to work, Midland isn’t home to any of us”
“Do y’all want some popcorn?”
In the heart of Texas, roughnecks and billionaires try to get rich quick in the oil industry; Tommy Norris, a struggling executive, tries to take his company to the top during the fuel boom.
