    We LOVE this show! So thankful for a good drama & not another reality show. I hope to see this show become the next "Dallas". Record every episode & cannot wait to watch it. Hoping this will be a very long-running series.

    Despite a tension-building soundtrack and quick jump cuts and editing, nothing can help the show rise out of its tedium.

    It's a straightforward story of iron determination to succeed against the odds—the options for drilling are now risky, and a failure means the loss of half a million dollars. But it is, beside that, a picture of a family, a portrait limited in its detail but dramatic nonetheless in its evidence of the tense relationship between the assured and driven CJ and his younger, college-educated brother.

    Blood & Oil almost feels more like a “Real Housewives” rolling family fight than a microcosm of our national quest for energy independence.
