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?
OMG!!!!! I cannot believe they cancelled Blood and Oil!!! I just kept checking and checking to see when the season premier was and decided to do a search. This is when I learn it’s been cancelled!! I just don’t understand why – it was a very good series and all the actors were good as well. I agree with Kim – it deserves another chance, maybe on a different night (Friday or Saturday) but the show was good and getting better. I too am a long time fan of Don Johnson but all the other actors were also doing their… Read more »
Bring it back. It was getting good.
This show was getting my interest as the plots got more interesting for the next weeks show ,just as as the show Dallas did back in the day, so why? not Blood and Oil… This was getting very good’ so in my appeal please give it another try, maybe a better time and on a different evening, not on a Sunday. Please Renew I’am a big fan of Don Johnson!
Why can’t it come back there’s so many stupid shows out there. I liked this show so why not renew it?
Please bring back…try a different nite.
Blood and Oil was not given a chance. It was a very good show. It was like Dallas interesting and you wanted to see what Hap was going to do next.
Just when you get another good show on, you cancel it! I used to loved Sinday night when Desperate Housewives, Revenge and Brothers and Sister where on! Then every season was something new and another cancelled season! Seinfeld almost cancelled after his first season…look how that tuned out!
Bring it back
Don’t cancel it
It really seems like every time that a station finally comes up with a show that is really good and different it gets cancelled. I like this show a lot but at least they did wrap up all of the story lines. Every show that Don Johnson gets seems to be a great show. I enjoy watching him.
Seriously they cancelled it? That stinks! I liked it!
Loved this show. Don’t cancel!!!
Great show – bring it back. Better than most shows on tv.
Why cancel this show not everything can have the top rankings, it was getting there, best new drama and cancelled it. Please someone pick it up great actor’s, what a shame
I enjoyed the show. It should be renewed.
