Spoiler Alert: What Happened in the Landman Season 1 Finale and What it Means for Season 2

Okay if you are still catching up on Season 1 you might want to skip this bit but let's talk about that finale for a sec. Things got dramatic as expected. Perhaps the biggest moment? The death of Jon Hamm's character Monty Miller. Yep he is gone. No coming back from that heart attack even if Jon Hamm himself thought there might be some "ambiguity" to it.
