Just finished watching Season 2 of Landman and it was a wonderful journey full of emotions and character development, flawed and perfect humans and intentions, and beautiful scenery. One of my favorite parts occur in the season finale where Tommy tells Angela:  You want every meal to be memorable, every moment to be an experience, and every night to be a honeymoon.
