The theoretically "interim" President of Venezuela and successor of Nicolás Maduro, following his abduction by the U.S. military to stand trial on a variety of charges in the U.S., Rodríguez finds herself forced to fend off two existential threats at once. On one hand, she must put up a token show of resistance against the imperialist swine of the big, bad USA, which invaded her country, killing hundreds while abducting the man she still publicly claims is the true President of Venezuela.

The scene in the East Room of the White House last Friday was almost like something out of a medieval court. At the center was an emperor U.S. President Donald Trump euphoric after his country's military operation in which U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas, and surrounded by his top advisers. Around him were executives from the major multinational oil companies, who had come from around the world to pay homage and vie for a piece of Venezuela's energy sector.

You'll make it back, one way or the other, Trump said. You're all going to do very well. Rubio slid Trump the note, which the president held up and acknowledged out loud. Marco just gave me a note: Go back to Chevron. They want to discuss something,' Trump read as Rubio laughed. Go ahead, I'm going back to Chevron! Trump exclaimed, before slapping Rubio on the back and saying, Thank you, Marco!

Landman might hook viewers at first with its all-star cast, but the Texas oil drama starring Billy Bob Thornton, Sam Elliott, and Demi Moore really hits its stride every time the series tackles the real-life dangers of working on an oil rig. Creator Taylor Sheridan first explored the risky job in the season 1 premiere when a pipe explosion shockingly killed three oil patch workers. Ever since then, the Paramount+ series has explored every facet of the hazardous industry.

Oil and masculinity: both are oftentimes crude, both are considered toxic in the twenty-first century. So it only makes sense that the two are as tightly bound as a bolt on a rig in "Landman," the latest hit series from the neo-Western television auteur Taylor Sheridan, on Paramount+. At the center of the show is Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton), a grizzled and cynical but ultimately good-hearted consigliere to a reckless oil-field billionaire, Monty Miller (Jon Hamm).
