Ransom Canyon

The thing I love about this so far is it is not trying to be Yellowstone or any similar spinoff. It is more family friendly than Yellowstone. The content is not so heavy and depressing to get through. It is just what I felt it would be, a more mellow, enjoyable story with good acting that has kept me wanting to come back for each episode.

The acting by Josh D is great for his character. I feel they could have lingered on the events in his life early on a bit longer for an emotional connection it.

The feel of the show has a mild flavor of something like Virgin River, but not nearly as Hallmark feeling as that. This show in my opinion is right down the road of what fans of a western drama are looking for. Don't go into this show looking for the grit, turmoil, intensity of Yellowstone. Come with an open mind for something enjoyable, and just a good watch.

Overview: This series is a fun and engaging drama set in Texas with real country elements on show. It is fairly similar to a number of other country dramas with fairly predictable storylines. However, it is still enjoyable with some really good performances.

Plot: The story starts with Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel) a rancher in small town Texas whose wife and son have both passed away recently. After a period of reclusiveness, he renter's town society and new relationships are built and some rekindled. Amongst the personal drama, is the overarching big corporation who wants to buy all the farmland to build a pipeline.

Acting: Performances are generally good with all cast members pulling their weight.

Conclusion: Nothing to write home about but if you enjoy Southern dramas like I do then you will like this series.

7/10.

As it's been said it's a Texas soap opera. The characters are half way interesting and the plot is there. It's an modern "Dallas" but with less polish. It's easy to watch and you can actually follow it while doing something else at the same time. It's not bad, it's just not particularly good. It has some decent photography and scenery and Josh Duhamel is easy on the eyes. It's an age old story of feuding families and has the heroes and villains. It's somewhat predictable and cheesy but mildly entertaining at the least. At least most of the actors are new faces and have some actual talent. It's not raunchy but does have some almost sex scenes and a few catastrophes thrown in to keep it moving. Not hard to follow.

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.

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.
