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?
WHY would this show be cancelled? I love it. It is so fresh from all of the other drama on TV. Please bring it back!!
I love this show. Please do not cancel this show
I really liked the show I was totally waiting for season 2 ☹️
Bring it back!!! It was great!!
Loved it, bring it back!
Loved this show. Sick and tired of getting interested in a show only to have it cancelled. Love Don Johnson, was so excited to see him on TV again.
Loved it!
So sad. Loved this show, what are they thinking.
This was the first show in years that I waited for baited breath with each week. There is so much crap on tv and this made Sunday night awesome! Seriously “zombies” vs. real people?! Where is tv for the rest of us?
Sad…. I really like it!! It was quite good.. Enjoyed my Sunday nights again!! Quantico is so confusing but it stays? What the #%^+!!
I loved it. Please bring it back. I liked the new Dallas & Blood & Oil.
So disappointed! I have been waiting and wondering about Blood and Oil’s return!
I really enjoyed the show just as I did Dallas and the modern-day Dallas. I wish they just would’ve tried this show in another time slot, Sunday night is a competitive time slot.
This is a great show. Please bring it back.
Bring it back!! I LOVE Don Johnson and the rest of the cast. I used to watch all the night time soaps in the 80’s and Blood & Oil brought back memories of those shows. Why was it canceled??
