Black Gold (2008–2013)
9/10
Black Gold - Bring it back.
2 April 2023
This show wasn't going to win any awards, but it was a wonderful 30 minute, mindless, excursion into the oil industry & roughnecks.

Of course, all those handsome hard bodies didn't hurt anything. I really liked Oscar, Peewee, Josh, Cheston. And loved Brandon Watson. All those guys have moved on, but the series can be brought back with any Derrick crew.

The show is the "Deadliest Catch" on land and the Texas badlands make for good TV. The temperature, the danger, stretching the mechanical capabilities of the rig & machinery...but keeping the personal lives included in the work lives made for good TV.
