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?
The only shows that seem to last are these ridiculous reality ones! Blood and Oil was great! Finally something interesting with a Dallas type feel. Bring it back! Dump some of these reality TV shows! We are reality TV’d out already!
Totally miss Blood and Oil. Sad to see it go. Loved the characters especially at the beginning. Hap, Billy, Cody, and Jules (hope they show up somewhere else). They could have transformed it into what’s happening now with oil prices falling. Unique story line. Everything else is police or hospital drama.
Blood And Oil Was the best new show in 2015 What idiot decided to cancel it.
I love Blood and Oil was just looking to see when it returns to find it was cancelled!!! So sad!!!!
Please re-think and renew Blood and Oil It is a breath of fresh air.
Thought that this was a well put together series and kudos to Don Johnson on his performances as a shrew and calculating oil baron! Nice mix of characters to keep things interesting! Cannot believe that the series has been canceled after just one go round! Bad decision ABC , in my opinion! The ultimate cliffhanger!
Please bring back Blood &Oil. It is my favorite show and was looking forward to a new season. Love Don Johnson and the rest of the cast. they were perfect in their parts. Renew, Renew Renew!!!
Blood &Oil, Please bring it back!!! The best show on and it gets canceled. I love watching Don Johnson and the rest of the cast. It made my Sunday nights, I looked forward to watching it. Please Renew It!!!!!!
I love this show! I watched all the episodes ON DEMAND and I cannot believe this show is canceled! I was actually checking to see when the new episodes will start for 2016 and found the show is canceled…please renew this show…I love it!!!
Please bring back Blood & Oil. I looked forward to Sunday nights to watch Don Johnson & Chace Crawford to find out what each episode will bring. I can’t get enough of Blood & Oil!!!!!!
I find that with over 200 channels to choose from, all of the streaming services, & basically thousands of shows that Air, around the world, that any program/show with 2-5 million viewers should at least have a 3-5 season contract! I ALSO THINK THAT MOST NETWORKS ONLY LOOK AT THE BOTTOM LINE (in the short run) AS OPPOSED TO ALLOWING NEW PROGRAMS TO TRY AND GAIN A LARGER AUDIENCE! NO ONE NETWORK CAN POSSIBLY GATHER ENOUGH DATA ABOUT A NEW PROGRAM, WORING OFF OF INFO GATHERED IN LESS THAT 1 or 2 SEASONS & SURELY THE EXECUTIVES HAVE ZERO –… Read more »
