Blood & Oil is an American prime time television soap opera[1] created by Josh Pate and Rodes Fishburne, that premiered on ABC on September 27, 2015.[2][3] The series follows a young couple that moves to fictitious Rock Springs, North Dakota, after the biggest oil discovery in American history.

The series features an ensemble cast headed by Don Johnson as oil tycoon Harlan "Hap" Briggs. Blood & Oil also stars Amber Valletta as his catty socialite wife, Carla; Scott Michael Foster as his villainous son Wick; and Miranda Rae Mayo as his illegitimate biracial daughter Lacey who has an affair with Hap's personal driver, AJ Menendez (Adan Canto), who leads a triple life. Chace Crawford and Rebecca Rittenhouse play young couple Billy and Cody LeFever, while India de Beaufort plays bar owner/loan shark Jules Jackman, and Delroy Lindo plays a sly sheriff, Tip Harrison.

The original order of 13 episodes was reduced to 10 on October 23, 2015.[4]

Production

Development

[edit]

The project was written by Josh Pate and Rodes Fishburne, with Tony Krantz as executive producer.[5] In September 2011, ABC bought the script (then titled The Bakken) along with several other projects by Krantz,[5] but did not order a pilot for the 2012–13 television season. In October 2014, the project moved to the USA Network under the title Boom and would be produced by ABC,[6] but was never filmed.

On January 30, 2015, it was announced that the project had returned to ABC and had been picked up as pilot,[7] which was filmed in Northern Utah and was directed by Jonas Pate.[8] On May 7, 2015, ABC picked up the pilot to series (still untitled).[9] By May 27, 2015, the title was Oil.[10] On June 1, 2015, it was reported that Cynthia Cidre had been hired as executive producer and co-showrunner of the project, now titled Blood & Oil.[11] On August 5, 2015, it was announced that Cidre would be replaced by Jon Harmon Feldman as showrunner, after the production ran into problems due "to its big scope".[12][13]

Casting

[edit]

Casting advertising began in February 2015. Scott Michael Foster landed the role of rich kid Wick.[14] Rebecca Rittenhouse and India de Beaufort were cast in the main female roles.[15] On March 9, it was announced that Don Johnson had landed the leading role as the family patriarch and most powerful man in the town; Johnson is also the series' executive producer.[16] Delroy Lindo was to co-star as the town sheriff.[17] On March 11, Chace Crawford joined the series as a main protagonist,[18][19] while Yani Gellman and Caitlin Carver were cast as regulars.[20] On March 12, Amber Valletta landed the role of Hap's new wife.[21]

After the pilot was picked up to series ABC started making casting changes. On May 26, 2015, it was announced that Caitlin Carver and Yani Gellman, cast as Lacey Briggs and A.J. Menendez respectively, would leave the show and their roles would be recast.[22] On July 6, 2015, it was announced that Adan Canto would play the role of A.J. Menendez, replacing Gellman.[23][24] On July 20, 2015, it was announced that Aurora Perrineau had replaced Caitlin Carver in the role of Lacey; the character was changed from white to biracial, since Hap fathered her out of wedlock.[25] On August 4, 2015, Miranda Rae Mayo replaced Perrineau as Lacey, due to the character's being reconceived to be a bit older.[26]

Several actors were cast in the recurring roles. Yaani King and Keston John were cast as Ada and Kess Eze. On August 21, 2015, it was announced that Wilson Bethel had joined the series as Finn, Eze's business partner.[27] On August 24, 2015, Tara Karsian was cast as local waitress Van Ness.[28] On October 7, 2015, it was revealed that Lolita Davidovich joined the series as Annie Briggs, Hap's ex-wife.[29]

1"Pilot"Jonas PateJosh Pate & Rodes FishburneSeptember 27, 2015 (2015-09-27)6.36[30]
Billy and Cody LeFever move to Rock Springs, North Dakota, where there is a rush for new huge oil fields. They dream of getting their piece of the pie, but they have a difficult start. When Cody finds out she is pregnant, she wants to return home. Carla, the wife of oil baron Hap Briggs, finds out from her political contacts that a section of the Bakken oil field once thought barren is actually abundant. At her new job in the pharmacy, Cody overhears that Hap is buying the McCutching Ranch, from where he wants to drill into the field which is under protected Native American land. Billy convinces Cody to stay in town a little longer, and he borrows money to buy a lot from Clifton Lundgren that provides the only access to the ranch. Their gamble pays off, and they make their first million leasing the lot to Briggs, while Billy also negotiates a 5% stake in the McCutching oil revenues. Hap cuts off his troublesome son, Wick. As revenge, Wick plots with Garry to steal a truckload of oil from his father. Hap catches the two, but they are wearing masks.
2"The Ripple Effect"Jonas PateJosh PateOctober 4, 2015 (2015-10-04)5.27[31]
Wick's oil robbery causes a rig fire. Hap puts a reward on the siphoners. To avoid being reported, Wick and his accomplice Garry visit a potential customer. The customer thinks it's safer just to turn them in to get the reward that is being offered, so Garry comes back later murders him. Hap's daughter (Wick's half-sister), Lacey, arrives from Los Angeles, and reconnects with AJ. Cody wants to buy a house to escape from the roughnecks at the motel, while Billy wants to become a partner in Hap's business. They do not have the money for both, so they decide in favor of the house. Hap asks Jules, with whom he was romantically involved before meeting Carla, to stay away from his son.
3"Hustle and Flow"Rod HolcombMatt PykenOctober 11, 2015 (2015-10-11)3.91[32]
Hap offers a claim that has already detected oil to Wick, and later allows Billy a chance to also buy into the claim, much to Wick's chagrin. Hap secretly meets with Jules to discuss her anger over him leaving for New York and coming back married to Carla. Hap tries to kiss Jules, but she shuns him. AJ runs out on Lacey to meet with a mysterious woman who wants him to get soil samples. Tip and a deputy tail the oil tanker that Garry is trying to run out of town, but Garry runs them off the road. Tip later catches up to Garry in a bar and arrests him. Garry calls Wick from jail, asking Wick to get him out or he will start talking. Cody invests in a food truck business, which will be run by Kess and Ada along with a chef named Finn. Billy tries to buy into the claim that Hap offered with his remaining $250,000, but Hap says the minimum buy-in is $500,000. Desperate, Billy offers back his 5% stake in the McCutching claim in addition to the $250,000, which Hap accepts. The new claim turns out to be no more than a pressure spike, which spurts oil for a few seconds and then dies off. Hap later confides in Wick that he learned a few weeks ago the new claim would likely be a bust, and only offered it to his son to lure in Billy and get his 5% McCutching claim back. He says his real plan is to have Wick help run the McCutching claim, but says his son must be "all-in" to do so...meaning he must break up with Jules.

AJ meets with the mysterious woman again, who pushes him to retrieve maps of oil-rich plots she has heard that Hap has. AJ returns and romances Lacey while plotting against the Briggs. Billy approaches Clifton, saying he now understands how evil Hap is, and tries to get Clifton to help him get revenge, but Clifton shuns him. Later, Clifton's granddaughter Emma approaches Billy and says her grandpa had a change of heart. The three try to use Clifton's remaining $100,000 to invest in a small plot Clifton has discovered is a "sure thing", but just as they are about to win the auction for the plot, an online bid from Hap comes in that is significantly higher. Elsewhere, Wick holds a birthday party for Jules at the Briggs home, defying his father's orders to break up with her. Having been contacted by Garry, who says he needs a car and cash to disappear and keep quiet, Wick steals the money that Carla had laid out for the caterers. At the party, AJ sneaks off to download the map files, but is caught by Lacey and Hap. Lacey has already figured out AJ is feeding information to a rival oil company. Rather than punish AJ, Hap gives him a micro-drive with false map files to give to his source, saying, "you work for me now". Hap then tells his daughter not to return to college, saying he needs someone with her intelligence working for him immediately.

Hap visits Tip, and gets Tip to reveal that Wick "knows more than he's saying" about the night of the tanker robbery. Garry crashes his car, and later shows up at a job site with his arm in a sling, blackmailing Wick for money and pain pills. Wick goes to Tip to turn in Garry for murder, claiming he himself had nothing to do with it, but Garry is blackmailing him anyway. They set up a sting and try to get Garry to admit to the murder while Wick's car is miked, but it goes wrong and Garry flees again. Finn kisses Ada, who eventually backs off and says she can't have an affair. Finn later finds out that Kess has lost all their food business earnings playing black jack at an Indian casino. Cody visits Jules, and discovers that Jules is having an affair with Hap. She tells this only to Billy, who immediately tries to use it to get his 5% back from Hap, but Hap calls his bluff and Billy decides not to tell Carla. Carla, however, figures out why Billy was there, and confronts Hap about who the other woman is. Jules finds out through Hap that Cody told Billy her secret, and is furious with Cody. Cody in turn gets mad at Billy and shuns her own housewarming party, staying late at the pharmacy instead. Garry shows up as she is closing the pharmacy, steals money from the till, and then attacks her after requesting pain pills and not getting what he wants.

Billy is knocked out in the process and is unable to get to Cody in time to convince her to stay with him.

Reception

Critical response

[edit]

The show has received average reviews from television critics, with several critics comparing the series to Dallas and its 2012 revival. On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has a rating of 62%, based on 42 reviews, with an average rating of 5.9/10. The website's consensus reads, "High stakes and bawdy plots make Blood & Oil's plain premise and characters tolerable."[40] On Metacritic, the show has a score of 49 out of 100, based on reviews from 23 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[41]

Willa Paskin from Slate said of the show, "Blood & Oil is not a realistic drama but an out-and-out soap opera."[42] David Wiegland of the San Francisco Chronicle had mixed feelings: "You see where all of this is going, of course, but no one is out to surprise viewers with 'Blood and Oil'. This is a soap opera. It may not last as long as either Dallas, but it's working the same territory."[43] Maureen Ryan of The Huffington Post criticized the series, stating "Aside from Don Johnson's canny oil baron, and as we found with the "Dallas" revival, one savvy old dude can't always carry an entire show on his back, especially when the rest of it is so mechanical." The Washington Post's Hank Stuever panned the series outright: "Dreadfully conceived and horribly acted."[44] On the contrary, Gail Pennington of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch had a slightly more positive opinion on Blood & Oil in her review: "The pleasantly fresh setting is the North Dakota oil boom, but the tone is very "Dallas," and the storytelling is as melodramatic as the show's title."[45]
