Landman season 2 episode 3 proves Angela is the best character in the show – but filming one of her famous blowouts makes Ali Larter ‘exhausted’ Features By Jasmine Valentine published 30 November 2025

It's the unhinged behavior I tune in for

Warning: spoilers for Landman season 2 episode 3 ahead.

Sure, Landman season 2 episode 3 is mostly about Cami (Demi Moore) learning how much trouble her late husband Monty (Jon Hamm) has gotten their business into, with Tommy (Billy Bob Thornton) practically falling apart at the seams while trying to fix the mess.

But neither of these two is the best character in the episode... or even the series, depending on what you enjoy the most. For me, Tommy's unhinged ex-wife Angela (Ali Larter) is the star of the show, and the first three episodes of season 2 have easily proved why.

She's gone from throwing $2800 worth of truffles over her family at dinner to getting a group of senior citizens drunk at their retirement home exercise class. This week, she's tried to be, ahem, intimate with Tommy while he's driving, and it's almost got her arrested for the second time.

We revisit this scene more successfully at the end of the episode, when Tommy unknowingly asks Angela to remarry him. Season 2 episode 3 of the Paramount+ show is a testament to how much they still love each other after so much time, but it also shows Angela at her most chaotic (especially when she goes shopping for a new home).

Not only did I get to tell Larter how much she makes me cackle like a witch at the TV, but I also found out more about filming Angela's big blowouts... which are unsurprisingly an 'exhausting' process.

Ali Larter says Angela exploding is 'just what she does for her family'

"It's so exhausting for me," Larter explains. "By the end of the day, I'm like, 'please give me a beer.' ...but I love that Taylor's [Sheridan] writing it, and in these first episodes, I think that he saw that the audience really responded to those scenes, too.

"That's what Angela does for her family and this relationship. What's going to happen is she's going to try her hardest, and then Tommy will do something to provoke her, and then she's going to explode. But as we continue to grow with them, you see that they're really asking themselves, if they don't have each other, who are they? And that's where we go this season.

She continues, "What's the reality? Is this really possible? Are we going to heal our family? Can we parent these children? And what happens when Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) goes away to college and Angela's falling apart? Does Tommy's have the capacity to be there for her, like when she's in pain?"

They're excellent questions, but we're likely a little way off from getting some concrete answers. We have seven episodes of Landman season 2 left, and it's hardly going to be smooth sailing for such a fiery relationship.

If Angela gets her dream house in Fort Worth, all might be well. But until then, I can't wait to see how she outdoes herself in episode 4 and beyond.
