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 do NOT cancel this show. Everyone I know loves it!!!! Who actually does these ratings?
Don’t cancel this show. Give it more time or move to another nite. Who can succeed when they are pitted against the NFL. Who ever scheduled a brand new series against the NFL should be fired. That was a stupid move. DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW. Story line is great. Actors are great. I have seen every episode & every episode has been great. What’s wrong with you? Move to another nite. Your ratings will go out the roof.
We love this show and love seeing don Johnson back please reconsider it has great story line potential
Please do not cancel the show! I think this is my favorite new show of the season! Was so glad to see the current episode as it hadn’t been on for the past few weeks. Excellent cast and story line!
The more I watch it the more I like it!!! Hope it stays around!!

I love this show. It’s the next thing to Sandler and Dallas. Don Johnson is at his best . Please, please keep it on.

Great show. Too many others being kept and another good one gets axed.
Great show. The realism is almost palpable. Being close to the Bakken only brings the show greater believability.
My typing was terrible. I agree with all of the other comments. Blood and Oil is a great show. Love Don Johnson and the other cast members. More true to life than many of the other tv series. Maybe you could change the night to Monday or Tuesday, just keep it going. There are so many medical and police series, this was such a nice change.
I love this show!!! I hope they do not cancel it. Many great actors and love the diverse story lines.
Such a good show, we love it.
So sorry to hear a good show was cancelled. The cast was terrific, the story line very good.
Why would you cancel this? Hardly watch TV dramas but this is one we looked forward to.
This series was realistic not like Scandal or Murder. Who made this bad decision?
I love Blood and Oil Tv series. Do not cancel. Perhaps the show may look like it’s not watched as it was on thiS total agree. same time as the good wife. Doesn’t matter. Everyone I know loves it, too. Don’t forget, people want h the next day on demand. Don Johnson is fabulous. Big mistake cancelling this show. Please give it more time. .
