The ladies hosting The View are fans of the Paramount+ series Landman. In November of 2024, they were gushing over the star Billy Bob Thornton. So they might be shocked to hear a brutal critique of their show and them coming out of the mouth of his character Tommy Norris.
It came in episode 5 of the second season when Tommy was explaining to his father TL (Sam Elliott) what "The View was all about. Here is their conversation as relayed by Variety:

Agreed, but imagine that was planned
His explanation of wind power to the lawyer was music to my ears
1. She's great eye candy, especially considering she is pushing 50.
2. She is playing a type of woman who truly exists. They are a particular breed found in Texas. I have personally known women who make her look tame.
3. She's great eye candy.
I recall the scene when first aired. Much truth to the statements, it was well written. Billy Bob is giving the hot lefty lawyer a schooling.
“His explanation of wind power to the lawyer was music to my ears”
ME, TOO!!
“Landman” is a great show....Billy Bob is super.
More so in the first season where his wife and daughter came off as complete airheads. However, this season they got involved with making old people in nursing homes happier with their crazy antics. It sort of humanizes them in a funny manner. It's funny how the old folks aren't turned out by their irreverence on matters of sex but embrace it.
Also their pirate themed dinner party was pretty funny.
If you already have Amazon Prime it comes as part of the package.
if sexualizing the old people is funny then, yeah....I guess. Just so much of it is cringeworthy to the uttermost. She’s a caricature not a real person and it takes away from the show.
Yes! Very liberal friend of ours got us watching Landman...he said it “opened his eyes about some things”...we think maybe he is finally getting educated...hoping
Ali Larter is a good actress and she proves it with this character! (and she is definitely not bad to look at)
“Heroes
: Larter played the dual roles of Niki Sanders and her alter ego, Jessica Sanders, and later her sister, Tracy Strauss. This role earned her a Gracie Allen Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress.
Final Destination
: She played Clear Rivers in the first two films of the horror franchise.
Varsity Blues
: Her breakthrough role was in this high school football drama in 1999, which helped launch her career.
Other notable roles:
Larter has also starred in films like Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Resident Evil: Extinction, and Obsessed, as well as TV shows such as Legends and The Rookie”
I read that she was way into adulthood and looked so youthful that she played teenagers.
And the actress who plays the teenage daughter is 28 years old. So she’s got that same thing going on.
No, you have to subscribe to Paramount+ to see Landman. I kept seeing the ads on Amazon to do so, but never had any desire to subscribe. Till now.
You are correct. I am subscribed via my Amazon Prime. The funny thing is I subscribed to Paramount Plus mainly to watch "Tulsa King" but got hooked on "Landman" last year so I kept the subscription running.
Did not know that. Just signed up for paramount +. Thanks PJ!
Besides Landman, we’ve been watching Joe Pickett on Paramount. It’s pretty good - not great. Like if Longmire and X Files had a baby.
Don’t make me do it! 😤
Only 2 FD’s? It’s like she is in all of them.
Nevertheless, given the leftist groupthink in all the entertainment industry, streaming or not, I wonder how the whole show made it on the air.
You’re not supposed to like her necessarily. She and the daughter are just a part of the chaos in which the BTT character is trying to operate.
