Gallino initially seemed like a savior to Tommy, rescuing him from a dangerous cartel leader in the first season’s finale. However, he’s now become Tommy’s biggest problem. In the second season, Gallino starts manipulating events by secretly funding a rival oil company run by Cooper, a landman’s son. He also influences Cami, convincing her to accept his investment offer, which drives a wedge between her and Tommy, who knows Gallino isn’t who he appears to be. The big questions are: who exactly is Gallino, and what are his ultimate goals?

Live-service games are designed to keep you playing indefinitely, and with constant updates – like Fortnite’s recent Simpsons-themed season – it’s easy to get caught in a never-ending cycle of unlocking content. Thankfully, we’re seeing a return to episodic games, which offer self-contained stories in manageable chunks, giving us a welcome break from the constant grind.

I recently watched the documentary Predators on Paramount+, and it honestly left me feeling disturbed.
