I thought the first season of this series was great! I even still have it programmed to record. It was kinda like a new modern twist on Dallas. I thought all of the actors were appropriate for their parts. Perfect part for Don Johnson. So I have to write 10 lines to make this review count... OK... I am an expert on this type of series and I found it to be suspenseful and intriguing and totally kept me wanting to know what was coming up next. My kind of show. But I just realized that it was canceled. What a disappointment. It was really good! Loved it. Sad now.I hope that there are enough people looking for it to continue who will write in with their disappointment when they find out that it has been canceled. Then perhaps they can bring it back.

This is one of the best new shows ever. My husband and I watch it every Sunday and the way the episodes end with you hanging we can't wait for the next one. So glad to see Don Johnson back on TV and these characters very believable and interesting. Twists and turns all appreciated, keeps the story moving and captivating. Right from the start I was ready to compare it to Dallas, but I think this one is even better, more edgy and dark. I think this could be the one new show of 2015 that actually makes TV worthwhile again. I like these types of shows that grab you and you just can't wait for the next episode. There hasn't been one of these in a long time - welcome back Sunday night TV.

This prime time drama isn't a typical soap. People expecting a "Dallas" or "Revenge" glamour with high fashion and mansions won't find it here. It's set in rural oil fields. An ambitious young couple arrive in a town set to boom from oil discovery and tangle with local big wig couple. Quite a bit happens in the pilot with some things that seem a bit over the top to grab your attention like cars going off the road twice in 1 episode.The main cast is watchable and attractive. Newcomer Rebecca Rittenhouse is pretty enough - not too glam to be unbelievable. Chace Crawford transitions well from Upper East Side to blue collar. Don Johnson has always been quite watchable and hasn't let himself go. Amber Valetta plays the ultimate second wife well. She was great in Revenge and looks to be a scene stealer here.You want to see what happens hopefully it won't give into irritating clichés - the bad son seems a bit clichéd.

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.
