The popularity of Yellowstone and all the spin offs and series created from his concepts have helped elevate this platform with his growing body of work. The show “Landman” joins the other popular productions he has created that showcase a unique way of telling western and character based stories.

The series contains specific content and viewpoints regarding environmental and energy industries creating debates about the series position regarding specific ideals and moral positions. Some claims include the demonizing of alternative sources while showing favoritism of fossil fuels using character dialog. This messaging also takes aim at those who believe in environmentalist views using a negative lens that some found troubling while it was praised by others.
Critics point out that certain comments which were from certain characters used many common points made by groups that believe strongly in fossil fuels. This use of what some would say are false or misguided claims gave validity to the idea that the writers had biased approaches to current conversations in society about the subject of fossil fuels and it's role with sustainability of Earth.
