Ransom Canyon

Could've been good but something's off kilter.

The best episode was the rodeo (5?) one. And what happened to the 2nd bad ombré?

Had a few good twists but missing chemistry.

Good actors in it but maybe it's the writing...because something doesn't gel. Sadly it's supposed to be Texas but filmed elsewhere. Hard to believe some events, as in aftermath of tornado; dang, the town cleaned up fast.

Not enough dance hall scenes; only saw one act. Later scenes looked like it was just a large diner.

There was a lot of hype for this but the series didn't live up to it. Yellowstone meets Virgin River? Nah. Hallmark version of Virgin River.

First, to the reviewers/critics that suggest this is Yellowstone or Friday Night Lights.....you are simply off base. Yellowstone was 60% cowboy, 40% drama. FNL was 50% football, 50% drama. Ransom Canyon is 5% cowboy, 5% football, 20% drama and 70% melodrama/soap opera.

Secondly, there are probably 17 different subplots all trying to be developed over the episodes and only 2 of these are actually brought to a conclusion. I am thinking the producers/writers a must be looking for a second season renewal, but not sure I am willing to sit through all the one-step forward, two steps backward plot lines again.

Worse yet, the lead male and lead female compose only about 10% of the airtime....and their stories are left unsatifyingly hanging at the end. It was a very unsatisfying watch for me.

It is quite slow at first, but it gets better. This show is one of them where you're not really sure at the beginning, but then it gets better as it goes on. I think it's trying to be like Yellowstone, but it's nothing like it. If you're looking for a country, cowboy vibe type of show, this isn't really for you. If you're looking for a drama with a little bit of country vibe, this is probably gonna be your new obsession. I'm not gonna spoil anything, but let's just say the first 35 mins of the 1st episode is a little bit of a snooze fest. But, i will say no more, this is a watchable series to binge.

I mean its a netflix soap opera so it has the elements u expect with the cringey cheesy moments of the sort Dont expect excellent writing nor complex situations but if you are watching this i believe u wouldn't expect it all, you know exactly why u clicked on this show Virgin River style (although VR is definitely more wholesome and rounded) It delivers exactly what is expected I feel too much happens too soon too fast so who knows where its going but its an easy no brainer watch with likable cast predictable cliche stories I dint think its trying to be yellowstone bc it has a completely different mood and genre so not sure why ao many reviews mention that, i would never had even put them in the same level nor assumed that Its a dont use ur brain ans dint take it too seriously watch.

This show is ALOT!... a lot of drama, a lot of poor choices, a lot of damaged people and a lot of hurt feelings.

This cast is mostly great, but there's something that just rubs me the wrong way and I can't figure out what.... Is it the writing? Is it the casting? Is it the character arcs? Is it poor acting? Is it a lack of chemistry?

It has so much potential.. but this is a lot of drama squeezed into ten episodes!

Like I know in real life people make poor choices and things get complicated, but this is a lot!

Individually the stories have glimmers and moments of greatness... but when they're all put together I don't know if it works? It's like the recipe isnt perfect?

I don't know, I feel perplexed... I binge watched the whole season and still have no idea if I like it or if I want more of it.

I don't know if this review helps anyone, but there it is! Haha!
