Billy Bob is in full fabulous Billy Bob mode here - "I quit drinking, I'll stick with the beer" and "Texas ain't no different to Dodge City, first come the dreamers, then the bankers and then the desperate... I'm a divorced alcoholic £500,000 in debt and I'm one of the lucky ones." You get the picture.
There are drone shots of oil fields in West Texas, huge explosions shooting up from the ground, a liberal display of death and destruction, calculating men in suits (including Jon "Mad Men" Hamm as Monty Miller) and hardass roughnecks risking everything to make a buck as well as general excess in all departments. You'll like it.
