I’ve Never Been Tied to a Chair: Oil Workers Mystified by New TV Show
Real Landmen Encounter More Cat Ladies Than Cartels
A new TV show has left oil workers scratching their heads, with many claiming that it’s not representative of the industry. The show, which premiered recently, follows a group of landmen as they navigate the world of oil and gas exploration.
But according to oil workers, the show is riddled with inaccuracies and clichés. One of the main complaints is the portrayal of the characters, with many saying that they’re not realistic. “I’ve never seen a landman who wears a suit and tie to work,” said one oil worker. “We’re more likely to be in jeans and a t-shirt.”
Another issue is the lack of attention to detail. “I’ve never been tied to a chair,” said another oil worker. “We don’t do that kind of thing. And what’s with all the cat ladies? I’ve never met a cat lady in the oil industry.”
The show’s portrayal of the industry has also been criticized for being too focused on drama and not enough on the actual work. “It’s like they think we’re all just a bunch of cowboys riding around on horseback,” said one oil worker. “We’re professionals, not actors.”
Despite the criticisms, the show has gained a following and has been praised for its portrayal of the industry. However, many oil workers remain skeptical and are hoping that the show will be more accurate in the future.
