A new episode of Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ series Landman takes direct aim at ABC’s daytime talk show The View, using sharp dialogue to criticize what the show’s characters portray as elite disdain for capitalism, men, and President Donald Trump.
The exchange appears in an episode titled The Pirate Dinner, where main character Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton, speaks with his father T.L., portrayed by Sam Elliott. During the conversation, the pair discuss The View, with Tommy delivering a caustic assessment of the program, according to reporting by Variety.
In the scene, Tommy describes the hosts as wealthy figures who openly criticize millionaires while expressing hostility toward Trump, men, and anyone else they oppose. His father responds skeptically, prompting a back-and-forth that escalates into dark humor comparing the moment to an uncomfortable but unavoidable social situation.
Elliott’s character repeatedly questions whether the situation is meant to be humorous, while Thornton’s character insists the humor depends on perspective. The dialogue, delivered in Landman’s signature blunt tone, underscores the show’s broader thematic critique of cultural and political elites.
A clip of the scene circulated widely online following the episode’s release, including in a post shared on X that highlighted the exchange and amplified reactions from viewers shared online.
Thornton previously appeared as a guest on The View during promotional events tied to Landman’s 2024 premiere. Since its debut, the series has drawn attention for its portrayal of the oil industry and its resistance to themes often associated with progressive television, earning it a reputation among some viewers as a counterpoint to what they describe as “woke” entertainment.
