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?
I have watched every show Don Johnson has starred in, loved them all including this. Hate to see it go so soon but at least they had a chance to close up stories.
Well phooey! My husband and I really enjoyed watching this. Very disappointed that it was cancelled
Please keep the show going. Love seeing Don Johnson and the story line is there. There are so many ways to write for the characters already established and many ways to introduce new ones. Don’t stop now!!!!
My favorite show and it had to get cancelled…
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! I can’t believe you finally hit the jackpot with an amazing show and you CANCEL it!! Blood and oil was one of the BEST shows on tv for a LONG time. HORRIBLE ratings decision for ABC to cancel.
Bob&cheryl
we really like the series
Please keep this show going. Hoping another network will pick it up if not ABC. This was such a great series – and a nice change from the zombies and reality shows. Very disappointing!!
Love this show. Please who ever you are with the “power to be” bring this show back.
Love the show – best new show this year. Should have been moved to a new night. What are you thinking cancelling it?
This was one of the best shows in a long time – I convinced tons of friends and family members to watch it and they love it too. And now it gets cancelled????? Are you kidding me – LOVE THIS SHOW – PLEASE DON’T CANCEL!!!!!!!
Love the show and hate to see it cancelled! Was watching it as my replacement for Revenge! Don’t cancel!
I have to agree with Heather you find something and somebody gets rid of it. Please renew the series it is much better than the vampires that are on and the stupid reality TV series that are on. They took off Long Meyer so we can’t get it and now this TV program. You know the old saying “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” well now you broke it so fix the damn thing and put it back on the air.
please keep it on the air. love the show. good story line and great acting by all.
I’ve really enjoyed this show. It definitely should NOT be cancelled!
I loved the show. Should of not been cancelled. Love Don Johnson. This was a great show. I can’t believe it was cancelled. All the good shows get cancelled and the stupid comedies stay on t.v.
I love this program…..to cancel it is a big mistake…
Do something to get it back on for a second season….
