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?
Please bring Blood and Oil back. You didn’t give it enough of a chance.
Please do not cancel Blood and Oil… Loved this show!! Much better then most of the shows on now.. I think it needs another chance, or put on another time slot where it will get more viewers!!
Loved the show!!
very upset this show was cancelled, dont know why it was cancelled , it was always something going on to hold your interest, love Don Johnson’s acting, This show needs to come back, I watched every episode , Please bring it back, I would definately watch it.
Enjoyed the show very much. Too bad it wasn’t given a chance. Great cast and story line. Perhaps the cast and Directors show dump the regular stations and go with a Netflix series. I would key in!!!
I agree with RStaub’s comment re Don and Miami Vice. It’s been a long time for Don J. to make a comeback on TV, since “Nash Bridges”, I believe; and B & O just kept getting better and better! I am really upset, and yes, perhaps a different time slot would help. (At least air a FINALE that ties up any loose ends…)
Agreed,, should not have been cancelled ! If their not getting the ratings
Move the time slot . Give the ship another chance.
This was a great show reminded me of Dallas. Bring it back alot of us are awaiting it’s return. Don Johnson still a good actor. You could bring back Nash Bridges and his cuda too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best new series last year. Please bring it back.
Great show! Blood & Oil reminds me of Dallas & JR. But there is only one Don Johnson! I still watch Miami Vice all week. Has everyone forgotten what a great actor he is? Maybe before young people’s time. Take my word for it, Miami Vice was and still is the first great Miami experience. Love the music, scenery and most off all Don Johnson. – Blood and Oil should be given a chance to grow it’s audience. I vote to bring it back.
Show was very good kept you wanting more .ABC again cancels a good show for moronic comedies.Thats why you lose to CBS.
I loved this show! It should have been renewed!!! Why was it cancelled? Please bring it back!
I think this show should be renewed. I looked forward to it. Possibly a different time slot!!!
Please continue this show! I couldn’t wait to see it each week, talked about it with others who felt the same. Such clever writing, never knowing who to trust, plots thicken & unexpected relationships stun. Surprises in every episode! Intelligent TV — when there’s so little of it! PLEASE RENEW.
I would love for this show to continue!! I was so sucked in! Plz bring it back
Love this show!!!!!!why are you canceling!!!
