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?
The series seems to position Cooper as the All-American Quarterback from the 1950’s as the ideal worker coming into the industry
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”
MTex attorney has become the centered comic relief of the series
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.
Midland-based Tommy works for a small but lucrative outfit, MTex Oil. The owner, Fort Worth businessman Monty Miller (Jon Hamm) and his wife Cami (Demi Moore).
From Sheridan and co-creator Christian Wallace, the series is based on the podcast “Boomtown” and follows the upstairs/downstairs battle for land, oil and fortune in a West Texas boomtown.
Paramount Plus is the only way to watch the series. Following the premiere, one new installment will arrive every Sunday through Jan. 12.

Dexter®: Original Sin (Dec. 13)
The prequel series Dexter®: Original Sin stars Patrick Gibson as America’s favorite serial killer. Set in 1991 Miami, the show follows Dexter as he transitions from student to avenging murderer. When he can no longer ignore his bloodthirsty urges, Dexter realizes he must learn to channel his inner darkness. Guided by his father, Harry (Christian Slater), he adopts a code designed to help him find and kill those who deserve to be eliminated from society. Dexter must do this without winding up on law enforcement’s radar – a particular challenge once he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.
In addition to Gibson and Slater, this 10-episode drama stars Molly Brown, James Martinez, Christina Milian, Alex Shimizu, Reno Wilson, with Patrick Dempsey, and special guest star Sarah Michelle Gellar.
And, yes, Dexter® fans: Michael C. Hall, who earned multiple Emmy® nominations as the original Dexter Morgan in Dexter® and Dexter®: New Blood, is back for Dexter®: Original Sin. He’ll provide the voice of Young Dexter's inner monologue.
Dexter®: Original Sin premieres Friday, Dec. 13, on Paramount+ with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME® plan only. New episodes will drop weekly.
No matter what your mood, you'll find something to stream on Paramount+. Watch Now!
