How accurate is Landman? Its co-creator spent years reporting from the real Permian Basin

Who was killed in Deadwood? Every death in the camp, from Wild Bill to the final episode
David Milch's Deadwood ran three seasons and 36 episodes on HBO from 2004 to 2006, plus a 2019 movie — and for a show remembered mostly for its profanity, it piled up an astonishing number of corpses. The camp killed quickly, quietly, and usually on somebody's orders.

Which is better, Landman or Yellowstone? We scored them category by category, and it wasn't close
Taylor Sheridan built both of them: Yellowstone ran five seasons and 53 episodes from June 2018 to December 2024, while Landman is two seasons deep since November 2024 and already renewed for a third. Same creator, same cowboy hats, very different shows.

Who replaces Vance in NCIS? The director's chair is still empty — and the wrong man wants it
NCIS did the unthinkable in its 500th episode: it killed Director Leon Vance, ending Rocky Carroll's run after 18 seasons in the job. Vance died in season 23 after discovering that Army CID Director Wayne Rogers was co-running an arms smuggling ring — a murder Leroy Jethro Gibbs himself came back to avenge in an off-the-books mission with Alden Parker.
