Critics are intensely slamming the Season 2 premiere of Taylor Sheridan’s Landman, arguing the show’s portrayal of the Norris women (Ainsley and Angela) has worsened, leading to “unbearably sad” and misogynistic scenes. The criticism centers on a controversial culture war rant about TCU admissions and a crude menstrual cycle joke made by Billy Bob Thornton’s character. The review suggests the misogyny is a “hazardous byproduct” of the writer’s failed attempt at comedy.
