Landman Fans Speculate Monty’s Survival and the Discovery of the “Biggest Pothole”

In the dramatic finale of Landman Episode 10, the unexpected death of Monty Miller has left fans grappling with a mixture of sorrow and disbelief. While many viewers have started to process and move on from this significant loss, a vocal portion of the audience feels that Monty’s demise could have perhaps been averted through better judgment.

Monty’s unfortunate end was something that dedicated fans had anticipated. The character, who had already faced five heart attacks and undergone three bypass surgeries, exhibited signs of deteriorating health throughout the season. Subtle yet alarming moments, such as clutching his chest and displaying labored breathing, foreshadowed the tragedy to come.

As stress and pressure mounted leading into the climax of Episode 10, Monty succumbed to his health issues, leaving his family devastated by his bedside after his passing. Despite the glimmer of hope offered by medical professionals regarding a heart transplant, the end of the episode marked a heartbreaking farewell.

Could Monty Miller’s Heart Attack Have Been Prevented?

Monty Miller, portrayed as an affluent oil tycoon, is characterized not only by his wealth but also by a lifestyle that could suggest better healthcare. One might question how such a crucial figure in the series could have found himself in a position that led to his death.

Notably, Monty experienced his final heart attack while unattended in his hospital room, leading many fans to speculate about the adequacy of his medical care. Critics argue that with his vast resources, he could have easily secured immediate and superior healthcare.

As one Redditor pointed out, “Biggest plothole. So Monty has a bad heart, having already had 4 heart attacks & 3 bypass surgeries. As a multi billionaire, wouldn’t he have already bought a new one or been on a list somewhere? Idk why but that’s bugging me lol.”

Another viewer suggested, “He wouldn’t have even been in a hospital room by himself for a second. There would have been a dozen people including a separate wiper for his nose and ass.” Furthermore, a third audience member noted, “Yeah and he wouldn’t be at a random hospital in Ft. Worth. He’d be at the Cleveland Clinic or Mayo Clinic surrounded by a team of doctors 24×7.”

It appears that the creative direction taken by Taylor Sheridan is intended to deepen the narrative for both Tommy and Cami, presumably in light of a possible Season 2. However, this narrative choice has not fully satisfied the audience’s curiosity regarding practical considerations.

As one critic elaborated, “The idea that he was having a cardiac event and hitting the call button, but the doctor says someone found him on the floor is perhaps the most absurd part of a regularly absurd show. VIP like that with his history would have an intern glued to him 24/7.”

Fans can now catch up on Landman, currently available for streaming on Paramount+. For those intrigued, additional insights into other Taylor Sheridan productions await.
