The Ranch

What person decides to put a laugh track every 10 seconds....it spoils what is a really good shiw

The Characters... I loved that the characters are not as shallow as they appear, for example, the chemistry between Colt and Heather and how a possibly good thing can develop from a hookup.

I loved that Maggie (the mom) is woman enough to know when something is not working and she is not afraid to step out on her own. Even unlikable dad, Beau, is growing on me.

I loved Rooster's dry humor and there are times Colt really tug at my heart strings. Kutcher does serious and funny in the same scene and makes it work.

The show deals with how f*ed up family can be and shows that you can find humor in any situation.

Lose the laugh track

I wish the laugh track would go, it takes me out of the world these characters live in. The F-bombs are really not necessary because they feel fake and doesn't add anything to its delivery.

Looking ahead...

The final episode ends with a major character leaving, I am looking forward to seeing what happens there. I am rooting for Colt and Heather. Beer-bong Billy is interesting and hilarious, I hope they do more with his character.

Overall, I loved The Ranch, I binge watched all 10 episodes in less than two days.

Netflix recently added the new original series The Ranch to their line-up. The show follows the lives of a family of ranchers in Garrison, Colorado. I really started watching it for the Kutcher-Masterson pairing. The brothers great when playing off each other, but the whole cast is what makes the show a success. Kutcher continues his lovable dumb guy routine from back in the day, but there's an added maturity behind his character which I didn't entirely expect, and Masterson keeps up the sarcastic banter that he's known for.

Sam Elliot is fantastic as the stick-in-the-mud father, and balanced well with Oscar-nominated Debra Winger as the flighty and sometimes very wise mother. It was a nice surprise to see Elisha Cuthbert show up as Kutcher's high school ex-girlfriend, and the episodes with the both of them were great.

As with many Netflix originals, it starts off slow. If you can push past the stilted, bad jokes of the first episode then you'll find an endearing comedy with strong performances from everyone. Although the show can be quite predictable at times, overall it's a really fun, enjoyable production.

Great show, but lose the laugh track! It's annoying and unnecessary.

Bring back Rooster it's not as good without him. The man wasn't even convicted and they have no proof that he did anything wrong. What about innocent until proven guilty???
