Trailer: Taylor Sheridan’s “Landman” is “Dallas” In the Metaverse, with Jon Hamm and Demi Moore as Takes on JR and Sue Ellen, Billy Bob Thornton as Cliff Barnes

“Landman” is the new Paramount Plus series from Taylor Sheridan of “Yellowstone” fame.

From the trailer it looks like “Dallas” in the metaverse, only violent and gritty.

Jon Hamm and Demi Moore would be JR and Sue Ellen, and Billy Bob Thornton not so much Cliff Barnes but his father, Digger.

In the trailer, there’s a lot of dust and oil field explosions. There’s also an aerial shot of an office building that feels like it comes from the “Dallas” opening credits.

Hey — a good soap is a good soap. Rating should be good for the premiere, at least.

It’s certainly the season of Demi Moore between this and “The Substance.” And that’s always a good thing.
