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, hopefully we will have a season 2!!
Really enjoyed the show, don’t cancel!!!!
I absolutely loved this show, I cannot believe it has been cancelled!!! Shame on this network!!!!! This was a modern day Dallas, makes me so angry!!!!
So disappointed! Why was blood and oil cancelled ! .??
WTH ? Man I couldn’t wait until this show came back on. Been waiting and waiting. And decided to Google and then. WOW. It was cut. BRING IT BACK !!
Loved this show. I agree with past comment about the networks choice of reality shows over well written shows the public really prefer! I would love to see Blood & Oil come back on prime time TV.
Loved the show,Not sure by posting that we all want it to come back will make a difference. I hate when they do this. Please bring it back. You see how many people loved the show. I have not read any bad things about the show… I want it back!!!!!
Loved this show and was really disappointed when I looked for an air date for season 2 and saw that it had been cancelled. Seems like everytime I get in to a new show it gets cancelled for some reality show or singing/fashion designing contest. Whatever happened to writing a good script and creating something for the viewers to watch? I hope this gets picked up by Netflix or Amazon or some other site because our cable channels are crappy anymore. So much for ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX being top runners like they used to be!
This was a great show, very well acted, great story line and entertaining, is that not what tv should be “entertaining”, it is a shame this show did not get renewed or a chance to survive.
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!!!!!!!! This show is awesome. It was something new and fresh to watch. TV has the same old crap on these days! Loved the story line and I want to see what happens!
Sorry for spelling errors! They did not show in my first entry.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN RENEWED. ENOUGH STUPIDE WALKING DEAD ANX VAMPIRES! Really think local channels have STUPID SHOWS. Maybe that’s part of low ratings overall.
Loved the show! There’s nothing good on tv anymore! Tired of paying for nothing to watch! Will it possibly be on Netflix?
Love this show. Don’t cancel it!
It was a great series, and it would’ve been nice if they had continued with it.
