Taylor Sheridan’s shows often receive criticisms for their representation of women, and his drama as an oil worker “Landman” is no different. In this case, Some fans believe that Angela Norris of Ali Larter is too excessive And shallow, when she spends a lot of time drinking cocktails and hanging out in a swimming pool. In the same way, Critics argued that Besley Norris, a teenager, is far too sexualizedEspecially in the scenes that imply that she wore bikinis, speaking of her love life and the verification of older men.
Anyway, Larter believes that Sheridan writes women who have depth, and there is nothing wrong with risking from time to time. As she said The Hollywood Reporter::
“No one puts me in a position in which I am not comfortable being. I have two children. I have been married for 19 years. I love playing this character. If there was something with whom I was not comfortable, I would not do it. What is more uncomfortable is that people are so uncomfortable by their sexuality.”
Larter noted that “Landman” is tonedly everywhere and that his characters have an emotional scope. With Angela and Ainsley, she believes that Sheridan has created two women who display their sexuality, but that does not define all their personality. Angela, for example, is a magnetic mother and woman, which allows her to present her quieter and more anchored side. That said, Larter also likes the aspects of Angela’s personality who led the character criticized as another example of the controversial writing of Sheridan.
Ali Lartter believes that Angela is a complex character
Taylor Sheridan almost ruined the season “Yellowstone” 5 By having his character, Travis Wheatley, at the heart of certain controversial moments (although the series has become a dumpster fire long before, so let’s not blame their failures on a specific thing). The most notable example is in the episode in which the Rude Rancher plays Strip Poker with super models and successes on Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly), which can be considered another example of Sheridan Show objectifying women.
On the other hand, many fans of “Yellowstone” believe that Beth – who, for what it is worth, makes Travis resembles a fool in the aforementioned episode – shows that he is able to write complex women. She is fierce, disorderly and ready to kill people, but she is also compassionate and nuanced. Ali Larter’s “Landman” character is easier to live than Beth, but the actor believes that Angela is complex in its own right. As Larter explained to Thr:
“I have so many parts of myself that I can put it. She wants to be flashy in a bikini and be all hot, and then you see her collapse trying to keep her family together. You see her fighting and giving these people hope.
With season 2 of “Landman” on the way, Sheridan will have the opportunity to add more depth to the stories of Angela and Ainsley. For the moment, however, Lartter is perfectly satisfied with her character as she is, and the actor does not see a problem with the writing of the showrunner.
“Landman” is now broadcast on Paramount +.
