TV show description:
This soap opera follows a young couple as they move to Williston, North Dakota in order to seek their fortune. It’s said that a millionaire is made every day in this town that’s been booming since the discovery of a huge oil reserve.
Tycoon Hap Briggs (Don Johnson) is a typical oil drilling Barron and a force to be reckoned with. In contrast to Briggs’ self-made image is his socialite wife, Carla (Amber Valletta), who is forever jetting off to the city.
Confronted with his legacy, he is riled by his heavy drinking college dropout son, Wick (Scott Michael Foster), who’s sense of entitlement makes him an undeserving heir.
Meanwhile, Billy (Chace Crawford) and Cody LeFever (Rebecca Rittenhouse) are pursuing the American dream. They’re determined to succeed in a place that’s reminiscent of a frontier town during the gold rush — there are rowdy bars and no shortage of men easily making and parting with money.
Hap takes Billy under his wing with Billy’s drive and commitment reminding Hap of himself as a young man. Seeing someone take his place causes Wick to lose control and he embarks on a vicious campaign of hatred against those who he believes have wronged him.
Episode #10 — Departures
Christmas is a time for coming together, but for the Lefevers, it’s a time of difficult choices. Billy faces an ultimatum to either save his marriage by leaving Rock Springs forever or to stay in the oil game alone while Cody experiences temptation in the form of another man. With the Black Elks land deal slipping away, Annie and Hap consider doing the unthinkable – joining forces to help secure this once-in-a-lifetime oil acquisition. Fearing the fate of his son, AJ enlists Tip to help bring the child to safety. And finally, another father-and-son relationship is pushed to its limits when Hap and Wick finally lay it all out on the table at the Briggs Christmas Eve gathering.
First aired: December 10, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Blood & Oil TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
It was a really good show. Please renew. The actung is great.
ABC does not have the brains or guts to bring back bloodandoil. They planned to have it cancelled from the start. The fans should not watch ABC all
I think it should have been renewed! I thought it was very good!
this is my new favorite show and it shouldnt be cancelled! please give it a fair shot.
Great show reminds me of Dallas, Please Renew
Unless you are 18-49 the networks don’t care what you want to see. If that age group doesn’t watch it, it’s gone. That’s what happened to the re-boot of Dallas. There were many petitions with thousands of signaturers to bring it back right after it was cancelled TBS did not care. I don’t watch anything on their channel anymore. If they don’t care what I want to see then I am done with them. Same goes for ABC.
I hope they didn’t cancel the show. It was the best. I loved the whole premise. Looking forward to season 2.
I really liked it, but felt the writers went the wrong way in the finally, making everyone have a happy ending…But it is what it is.
renewal this show is better than Quantico, cancel Quantico the writing suck.
Yes, I tried but was always left confused at the end of every episode of Quantico. It was not believable.
I really enjoyed watching Blood & Oil. Like a lot of viewers have mentioned, it isn’t a crime show, it isn’t a medical drama or fake reality TV show. After watching the first episode I was hooked. It is different than the other TV that is out there. I was really bummed to find out that ABC nixed it before giving it a fair shot. I mean the ratings are up against Sunday Night Football. I really hope that another network sees potential in this show and decides to give it another shot. Or rather, have ABC LISTEN to it’s… Read more »
This show should NOT be cancelled. It is one of my favorite show.
This show should not have been cancelled..at least give it until spring…I am so tired of good shows being cancelled without giving them a chance!!
Just when a good show comes along, it gets canceled, but all this reality crap remains! If it weren’t for two other shows I’m addicted to on ABC, I’d boycott this network altogether! As others have said, give it a chance, put it on a different night, anything, just please do not cancel what was a great show in my eyes! You could say that the last episode was all a dream sequence that Hap (or another character had), then start fresh from there. And, not that you’ll read this, but while I’m griping, why do you jam all your… Read more »
Love the show. Don’t cancel!
This is a great show!! Please don’t cancel!! Love all the actors and especially Don Johnson.
CBS – YOU STINK!!! I really enjoyed Blood & Oil. It was the best show that you have aired in quite some time. You stink for cancelling it, whoever made the decision to cancel it should be fired. And by the way, Quantico SUX!!! Quantico should have been cancelled! I will not watch anything else on CBS
ABC will be glad to hear that.
