Review of Blood & Oil

Blood & Oil (2015)
1/10
Not impressed

This takes place in current times, I assume. Based on episode one I felt that I was back in the 1880's of some western town with dirt roads going through the middle of the town, drunkards out in the streets and in the bars, and completely confusing. You've got two young kids coming out to North Dakota that don't know anything about oil and all of a sudden they're making big oil deals and know all about the facts of what's been going on with Don Johnson's big plan to get rights to drill for oil on an Indian reservation.

I don't know if Don Johnson's character is supposed to be from North Dakota, but I assume so since he has amassed this big oil rig and land. If he is from ND you can't tell it by his accent. Definitely no North Dakota accent at all going on...in fact, I don't think I heard any ND accents in the show. Just another little thing they overlooked.

Don't think I can take an episode 2, BUT --

There was a song played (partly) in the middle of the episode that sounded great....country like song, and it's not listed on the soundtrack. Sort of slow. I've searched for it and have no luck. Does anyone know what that song was? Would like to download it. That was about the highlight of the show for me.
