The writing is too intellectual to be believable. No one believes that anyone talks like that especially in Midland or Odessa. Everyone is over-acting. Too many pointless shots of staring, burning, driving the car, parking the car. Female characters are one dimensional and not one likeable. How about we don't sexualized children? What kind of father lets his daughter run around with her booty out like that and speaks to her father about her sex life? Very unbelievable and disgusting. Seems like a lot of wasted talent. The most interesting aspect of the show is the gas and oil industry and I'm not even sure how realistic that is.
