3 Non-Taylor Sheridan Shows to Watch if You Already Miss Landman

Taylor Sheridan ’s Western-coded hit drama Landman has just left the screens after an incredibly successful first season, the second one might take a while to arrive, but that doesn’t mean you’re doomed to stay without any similar TV replacements to fill your free time with.

Not just a business-y drama about big game players fighting for a share of the wealth, Landman expands its narrative to a wider range of themes, some of which take the center of other successful shows’ plot.

Succession

Jesse Armstrong’s tough drama about siblings fighting for the control over their father’s media empire is a family story in the first place, even though it doesn’t seem to be one at all. In some rare sights, the Roy family gets together for more than just work meetings, proving that, despite all the rivalry, they do have love for each other.

Sheridan’s Landman succeeds in this too, showing Tommy and Angela do their best to bring their family together and show all their love for their children, even though they might have some personal issues with each other. So, if you’ve been looking for another good reason to watch Succession, consider this a sign.

Mad Men

If you loved Jon Hamm’s Monty Miller and still can’t cope with that disheartening plot twist in the first season’s finale, Mad Men is just what the doctor ordered — and this order comes with Jon Hamm too.

The latter stars as the show’s lead Don Draper, an advertising company’s creative director whose personality at work is a thoroughly elaborated hoax that is supposed to cover all the instability he has to experience at home.

Those who have seen both series might even catch themselves wondering whether Hamm’s Monty Miller is just Don Draper’s alternative version put in a completely different, Western-y landscape.

Fargo

A show that has a lot in common with Landman, including the latter’s leading actors Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Hamm, Fargo is more like an anthology rather than a series with a constant plot line. The two share one genre being considered neo-Westerns, but what they don’t share may seem even more compelling to those who have just finished Landman off.

In Fargo, both Thornton and Hamm are nothing like their Landman’s characters, coming as purely evil antagonists Lorne Malvo in season 1 and Roy Tillman in season 5 respectively. Though it might seem weird to see both actors embodying villains on the screen after their heartwarming performances in Taylor Sheridan’s latest hit, it’s still a nice roller coaster to try after getting used to their Tommy and Monty.
