Landman wraps an oil-field thriller in something far more personal — strained family bonds, aging parents, and the quiet, complicated weight of caregiving.
When Billy Bob Thornton's Tommy Norris finds himself caring for his estranged father TL (Sam Elliott), he's not just managing a household — he's confronting decades of unresolved history, while his wife Angela holds the family together from the inside out.
In our latest Caregivers in Context, we explore how Taylor Sheridan's hit Paramount+ series uses West Texas grit and raw family drama to capture the emotional labor of caregiving, the long shadow of addiction and mental illness, and the relationships that shape us — whether we're ready or not.

Caregiving can take a real emotional toll, even when someone still looks like they are managing it all well.
That is what we explored in Benchmarks of Care: When Caring Hurts - Managing the Emotional Rollercoaster of Caregiving.
Our special guest, Niya McCray-Brown, Director of Community Engagement and Partnerships at Mental Health America’s National Office, shared:
“Our bodies and minds are built to be able to give us additional signs to identify when we're in distress, when we're navigating something that's not sustainable, and to give us an alternate pathway to make a different decision."
If you want helpful guidance on emotional overload, burnout, and the quieter signs that the pressure is building, the replay is now available.
