Blood and Oil on ABC w/ Don Johnson

[Charmonium]

Anyone watching this?

It's only 2 or 3 episodes in and while I'm not really wild about the show, it's interesting to me since it's centered around the boom economy in and around the Bakken oil fields.

I'm curious enough to watch until it gets cancelled.

Reviews have been horrid for this show.

I'm not surprised. There reallly isn't a lot to recommend it except for the context. I never saw Dallas, which I think was based on a similar idea, but it's essentially a prime time soap opera.

On the plus side though, it's fairly fast paced so individual sub plots only seem to last a couple of episodes. But as I said, we're only about 2-3 episodes in.

I hadn't even heard the words Don Johnson in ages.

Haven't posted my death expected list In the TV thread yet, but this is a solid top three contender.

My wife watched an episode. She's pretty tolerant to bad TV, and even she thought it was shitty soap opera tripe.

I'm sort of rooting for that and it looks like that's what will happen.

While the Bakken shale angle was a good idea, it's way too dumbed down. It's like they got some semi-retired writers who were big in the 80's and had them recycle their plot ideas.

Don Johnson and Chuck Norris are automatic nos for me.

6.8 of 10 huh? That might be from the premier though.
