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 love the show – it should never have been canceled, I haven’t watched ABC in years, nothing of interest and this brought me back. It is all I watch on ABC and if it is gone I will not be tempted to watch anything else, why bother if it is a great show and then gets canceled!
I love the show, didn’t miss an episode. They always cancel the one I like!
`I love this show!!! You cancel true entertainment and keep crap reality shows.
Love the show. Please don’t cancel this show.
I loved this show and even my sister, who isn’t a TV watcher, liked this show, too! We’re disappointed about the cancellation. BRING IT BACK!
We watched this show every week. Please don’t cancel it. I love the actors.
I loved this show. The actors were great. ABC has cancelled some great shows.
I am so mad that I can’t sleep. This show is so good and they want to cancel it, I am so ready to stop watching the TV and just watch movies and read my books! There has got to be a way to save this show!!! Email me if anyone has the answer. We need to voice our opinions as many times as it takes. The way they rate the shows isn’t working if they cancel the good ones!
Can’t believe ABC is so shallow. Why is it they always cancel the best TV shows; and they substitute with junk. What a great show and loved to see Don Johnson in such a staring role. Perhaps, ABC’s writers need to go back to the drawing board and learn something.
Can’t believe they cancelled the show it was a great show. They always cancel the good ones. ABC I am going back to cable. So disappointed that you cancelled the show.
Please please do not chance Blood and Oil! I love this show!
Loved this show. Watched every episode. They seem to always cancel the best ones
Loved this show. They seem to always cancel the good ones
Loved this show! It wasn’t promoted very well or given enough time to gather the following it ultimately showed to have before it was cancelled. A smart studio would bring it back!!
My husband & I love this show & spoke about it with other friends. Asked my husband when it was to return, he said he wasn’t sure. Talking with a friend who advised me him & his wife loved the show, but it was cancelled. Please bring it back!! Looked forward to watching it & talking about it with friends every week!!
