Story
A modern tale of finding your fortune in the world of West Texas oil rigs. See the most popular movies and TV shows by writer/director Taylor Sheridan on IMDb based on user ratings. Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore filmed some of their scenes in Weatherford, Texas in May 2024.
Only three episodes
Billy Bob Thornton is welcome back to Texas after Friday Night 2006. The mood is Yellowstone and this is a welcome series with a bit of reality versus superheroes and fantasy. Set in the Permian Basin, great showings so far!
Interesting people and plots
Us oilfield kids are shaking our heads at the inaccuracies and explosions/explosions of field life. The technical glitches in the first three episodes are embarrassing, and your technical advisor got everything wrong with the explosion scene. Old stuck valve, 24 inch pipe wrench (attached upside down and hammered near the top?
Need torque, no cheat pipe to try first?
100% wrong. No hammer unless it’s a brass hammer (i.e. no sparks)?
No experienced oil field downstream team would ever do something like this
Chaotic technical manager is seen as a “groundsman” trying to put out an explosion (I’ve never seen a groundsman on site.) Expert puts wrench upside down and hits his own finger. The new season of “Silo” is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
