They essentially manage the land and secure the lease so they can drill for oil and gas. Like foremen on a construction site, they build roads, human camps, assemble excavators and drill the well itself, especially in remote places. They are also part fixers, problem solvers and helpers..
Likewise, the roles of his wife and daughter seem out of place in the series
For someone so focused on their goals, including an emotionally unstable one-woman circus completely undermines the show’s purpose. Her character feels like a distraction from the central narrative, adding unnecessary chaos instead of supporting its journey. The portrait does not enhance the plot, but instead makes it difficult to take seriously in terms of determination and focus.
Instead of improving the plot or character dynamics, this approach feels like a superficial attention-grabbing tactic
The wife seems emotionally unstable, while the daughter lacks intellectual depth, making her contribution to the plot insignificant. The portrayal of the daughter feels particularly shallow, with her character offering little more than a superficial level of engagement that adds no value to the story. Moreover, these characters are constantly jumping around in provocative clothing, seemingly for no other purpose than to attract attention, which is out of sync with the tone of the show.
