Episode 3 good news: An excellent new bad guy (Andy Garcia), more oil business (including a hydrogen sulfide disaster) and a performance by Demi that was Emmy worthy (particularly her breakdown at the end of the episode, that literally had ME in tears).

Bad news: His oral sex obsessed, loud mouthed, out of control wife, plus his absolute idiot of a daughter brings the show down to almost unwatchable.... AGAIN. They are not cute or funny, just eyerollingly stupid and obnoxious.
That is one big issue with Taylor Sheridan - the women in his shows mostly end up being god-awful and annoying.

In that regard, it is unfortunate that he writes everything himself. Landman really needs female perspective in the writers' room.
Exactly. Demi Moore's character has been quite good, mostly because of her superb acting. But the other two main female characters are modern day versions of an old 8 page bible (short, pornographic cartoon book).

He writes pretty strong female characters in his show Lioness.

Please reduce the unnecessary screen time for the wife and daughter. Both are cartoon characters right now
The "wife" is nothing more that an irritating, screaming, horny old female dog and the daughter should have an "I" tattooed on her forehead for "Ignoramus." Please..... make them go away.
