Blue Ridge

The story begins with the Sheriff (Jonathan Schaech) driving by a couple that he finds suspicious because the woman in the vehicle looks like she has been beaten.

Sheriff turns around, asks some questions, and the abuser attacks him. After a brief battle where the punches were way off by far, the bad guy runs off and the Sheriff runs after him. Bad guy gets arrested, Sheriff turns him over to his deputies, and then gets back on the road in the opposite direction he was originally going. That was a dumb error.

Some town villain has just died, and the Sheriff wants his entire department at the funeral to show respect. One of the deputies calls up her friend to guard the Sheriff's Office and jail. He goes off to get some delivery food at the back of the building, and when he comes back the Sheriff's Office and jail are burning down.

Right there, my credibility in this show died. Any sheriff that is too dumb to care about the security of his own HQ and jail is a total loser. His team that just call up a random goofball to take care of the HQ are losers too.

The only good actor in this series is A. Martinez, and he is playing the same role of a wealthy tribal villain that he did on Longmire.

It is almost like this show is a spinoff of Longmire with cheaper actors and dumber stories.

This is dukes of hazard and unsmoked rolled into a new family masterpiece. .Cant wait for more Tom Proctor is such a good villain and anti hero. The music is top notch and love the opening drone cinematography. Please keep this company by it is what the family viewers need a show that everyone from the grandparents to the kiddos can watch together safely just like in the days of gathering around as a family to watch Gunsmoke,Bonanza,Andy Griffin,Dukes of Hazard and with one character even a hint of Gillian's Isand. So and my family will be glued to the screen every week to watch how everyone is doing and what is brewing.

The first thing I thought of when I started watching this was "not another series with an ex and a teenage daughter! " What is it with this theme. We've had Justified, Bosch, The Lincoln Lawyer, Goliath just to name a few. I only recognised one actor from the cast and he was in Longmire the rest were just unknown to me. The acting is awful and the storylines even worse just totally unbelievable! The fight scenes with the sheriff were actually laughable! The sheriff has the most annoying voice ever and is definitely miscast. I've just read they are making a second season please don't bother!!!!

It's hard to say what's worse - the lack of originality and predictability or the truly bad dialog and acting. There's nothing new here - nothing. Even the few actors we expect more from, like Graham Greene, are given poorly defined tropes instead of characters, and disappoint. There's something charming about it, nonetheless, but it's like a mockery of a southern town, rather than a real one. The soundtrack is so jarring, it seems obvious that the showrunners wanted to promote the bands of their friends and family and somehow got away with it. Unless they step up the plot, soundtrack, dialog, fight choreography and acting going forward, this is a one season series.

This TV series brings back the majority of the main characters from the movie. Not many creators do that. Well done, Gary Wheeler. We were hooked after the very first episode. This series has drama, emotion, humor, conflict, and resolution within each episode. The actors have great chemistry, both on and off-screen. I've seen this first-hand from being a part of the background for three episodes. The entire cast and crew have great camaraderie and respect for one another. I can't wait for each episode to air and look forward to re-watching this series over and over. Thank you again, Gary, for bringing this series to life. Well Done!
