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?
What are you kidding me…another great show that you suck me into like (Rookie Blue) only to turn around and give it the ax before you allow your viewers to weigh in on your decision making…thanks for nothing!!!!
I am just getting mad now about sucking us in to later cancel a show. I loved this show and it was great for Sunday night. It was very entertaining to me and when I watched the last show, I knew everything was to perfect with all the characters, that it was getting cancelled. So came to my computer and there it is! Cancelled.
I had the same feeling!
The problem with the Blood & Oil Series was timing. If you move the series to any other day, it would be an success. I vote for another season.
My friends and I faithfully watched every Sunday and are heartily disappointed that this would be cancelled. Please, please do not cancel! Thank you!
Blood and Oil deserves another season at least!
I really it liked this show, loved seeing Don Johnson again and what a great part for him, Chase Crawford is also great. Love all the cast. Hoe they reconsider cancelling it.
I really like this show, I hope they don’t cancel ….show has very interesting characters
Love the show please bring it back
Makes me want to stop watching ABC my family loved the show watched every episode thanks ABC
feel so sad..loved this show..please bring it back
Super Bummed this show got cancelled! I had no idea until I checked today because I thought the Winter Finale just ended too nicely without any cliffhangers. Go figure. BRING IT BACK!!
mistake! this series is a really good show. finally a series to watch that’s not outhere!!!! please please change this decision!!!!!
Are you kidding me???? Finally a good show on television and you are cancelling it!!!! Come on!!!
best show in a long time bring it back
Writers were not great and choice of actors were not good either. Don Johnson was wonderful. Hope he gets involved in another TV show. I love Don in cop shows. Maybe that is what is best for him. Sadly, just like the recently revived Dallas TV show, poor writing, wrong actor choices and poor storylines will unfortunately get shows cancelled. I was hooked from the first show of Empire, and it continues to be great. Not so for Blood and Oil. Fingers crossed Don Johnson returns to television in another show… and soon!
Writers were not great????? And choice of actors also???? What world do you live in? The only problem Blood and Oil has is the time slot they were given playing against Sunday Night Football and The Walking Dead. I’m still hoping that they will change their minds and renew it, like they did for Wayward Pines. LOVE THE SHOW AND ACTORS!!!!!!!
Disappointed this was just getting more and more interesting.
Thought Don Johnson was great! Give it a chance!!
