Be sure to head back here after the show to share your thoughts! We can't wait to hear them.
Blood and Oil premieres Sunday, September 27 at 9:00pm on ABC.
1. Don Johnson's Return to Network Television
It's taken nearly a decade for Don Johnson to return to network television. Blood and Oil could not have cast a better man to take on the patriarchal role of the series as Hap Briggs, oil tycoon and business mogul. Though the comparisons will be many, Johnson's role should not be compared with another famous tv oil tycoon, J.R. Ewing. Don Johnson brings his own brand of charisma to this baron. You won't want to miss it, trust us.
2. The Dark Side of Scott Michael Foster
Scott Michael Foster has always played a nice guy. One look at his credits will show an array of charming characters, each with a great sense of humor. The role of Wick Briggs, Hap's wayward son, is a pleasant departure for Foster. He's very good at being very bad.
3. Women in Power
Revenge alum Amber Valletta rises to power as Carla Briggs, the wife of oil tycoon Hap Briggs. Is she really the one calling the shots for the Briggs family?
4. Handsome Men

11. Hopes and Dreams
Why does everyone in Rock Springs long to strike it rich? At the center of Blood and Oil lies the hopes and dreams of each character, some pure and others a bit more selfish.
