Ride

I tuned in to this because I saw that Nancy Travis was headlining it, and I've always liked her. That said, I just cannot get interested in this series. I've tried, but it just doesn't grab me. I think the story is flat, and there's just not a lot of character development going on. I keep hoping that there will be more to inspire me to watch and to engage me a bit more, but so far that hasn't happened. I agree with others that this appears to be a "Heartland" wanna be, and it's not making it. Really hoping that the storylines improve. Haven't decided yet whether I'm going to hang in there with it or not. This has potential, but so far it's falling short.

This show has a excellent cast but the writing is terrible. All they do is argue and argue. There is no action no love scenes nothing but people having ridiculous arguments. Please the brother in law and the trick rider just bicker and constantly talking about stupid stuff. Same old items each week. They have time to develop the characters so let them move on. Every week they don't trust the girl who's been missing. The brother-in-law has no idea how to win the sport. The best roll is the millionaire with the rich parents. And all they do is kick him around it's so stupid.

This series can become a good series but you got to move faster and more action.

When I watched the first episode, I thought another western drama but shot in beautiful Alberta, Canada. But the series characters kept me watching week after week. Headed by a matriarch this time around, it stars Nancy Travis convincingly playing Isobel Mc Murray, a tough no-nonsense rancher who has 2 sons that are rodeo bull riders and a daughter-in-law who is a trick rider and what happens to them. It is well written with a good script, good acting and beautifully filmed. What also appealed to me was the importance of family and family values making that a cornerstone to each episode. With no foul language and a mild degree of violence, RIDE is one of the western winners this year! Hope there is a season 2! Definitely recommended!

I have watched the first 5 episodes. And i was hoping for better storylines, but there has not been a lot of continuity. I guess I was hoping for better writing because it would be a better choice than Yellowstone. Yellowstone is filled with fowl language that apparently the writers have no creative word skills. Because this program is on the Hallmark channel they at least have creative writing but it is lacking something. They also need to look at their central characters at the way tgey wear their cowboy hats! They are all wrong. They all look like the went into a store & put on a hat and said this is it, NOT. They are not right. A cowboy hat that is not creased properly and then worn properly just does not fit. They look like drugstore cowboys!

First, I really love the casting of this show. All of the actors seem to fit their parts well. I like the overall idea of the show. Yes it's very reminiscent of Heartland and yet doesn't have that it thing that Heartland does (but I have to say the main female character here is much less annoying!)

I can see why it gets so so reviews. But I'm hoping the writing picks up a bit with some more engaging storylines so the show keeps going. I like Hallmark TV shows and wish there were more of them. The Way Home was really good this year after Chesapeake Shores ended and while this isn't as good I do want it to stay on.

Give it a watch and fingers crossed it keeps going up!
