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?
Loved this show. Great actors. Blood and Oil had great story lines. Please bring it back. Put the show in a different time slot and give it a chance. ABC keeps cancelling great shows now they have cancelled Castle and Nashville too. Why don’t you cancel some of the ridiculous reality shows?
I really loved this show. My husband and I both enjoyed watching it. Bring it back!
This show is FABULOUS! Bring it back and put it in a different time slot –
I really loved this show!!! I’m sorry it got cancelled. There isn’t anything like it on TV. If ratings were poor I think it was due to lack of advertising because the cast was great, the plot was great and writing well done. If more people knew about it I think more people would watch it. Advertize and give it another chance PLEASE?
I was so looking fwd to this show again, been waiting and haven’t seen anything about when it was starting again. Don Johnson is still HOT in my book, loved seeing him on TV again. I thought this was a good show. So many stupid things on TV but when something good comes out you get rid of it, why? Please bring this back!
Enjoyed very much. Was surprised it was cancelled. I vote to bring it back
Really liked the show ! Very disappointed that they cancelled it!
Come on renew this show, I agree with Chris below, cancel crap reality shows……tiring
Enjoyed the show, should be renewed. Take off crap like the Kardashians. Miss Don Johnson, a good actor.
I loved the showed…was looking forward to some twists and turns…there are so many STUPID shows on…I can’t believe this good one was canceled.
Cannot believe this show was cancelled! Yet, the Kardashians and other ‘reality’ tv shows continue to air. It was a great show, wanted to see what happened after the cliff hanger. Who is the ‘genius’ who decided to cancel this show? Please bring it back!
I am so sad by this cancellation…loved it and all the characters!
I’m really upset about Blood & Oil being cancelled. I’ve been wondering about it and think that it was a BIG mistake. I loved the characters, plot, everything. So sad. It was one of my favorites
I loved this show!! Miss Dallas and Dynasty so looked forward to watching this!!
I really liked Blood & Oil. I wish it had not been cancelled & would return for a 2nd season.
