Blue Ridge

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.

8.5 by the time I finished 1.5 houts later.

It is dreadful. There wasn't a single 'actor' in the cast.

One cliche would instantly get chased of the screen by the next cliche. The fight scenes were school play level. The compulsory bumbling deputy, male of course, couldn't even find a hat that fitted. The 'bright young thing', female of course, was not actually very bright. The cafe owner love interest to the 'protect and serve' former green beret.

The dialogue! Oh! Dear! Seriously, seriously bad! I like westerns but this is an insult to them and perhaps most disgraceful of all: they gave the 'hero' a Clint Eastwood cowboy hat - not by accident, I'm sure - but so misplaced it's laughable. The hopes I had at 9.2 went down the toilet faster than a too spicy chicken vindaloo!

If you watch this rubbish, after reading my review, you only have yoursef to blame!

Since the regular tv season ended, I am always looking for new shows to watch during the off season. I saw the title of the series and thought it was worth watching and also saw that Sarah Lancaster (from "Chuck") was part of the cast and decided to watch. I have been pleasantly surprised.

The actors and characters are well chosen and make the storylines believable. The subplot of the main character trying to restart his relationship with his ex wife is filled with some humor due to his uneasiness. As a former green bret andthe sheriff has to deal with many characters that want to take justice in their own hands. Exterior pressures make the sheriff's life a little complicated but similar to a western; the sheriff always gets his man. Nice scenery helps.

Looking forward to watching. I hope that the series gets renewed.

As someone born and raised in the Blue Ridge, I knew I had to give this series a shot. Now I am 3 episodes in and plan to be a regular viewer. It feels like an old-school serial Western but placed in modern times, showcasing many of the genre's best attributes. The lead character, a former Green Beret turned sheriff, is an honorable and courageous man driven by a deep convictions and a desire for law and order. Despite some morally ambiguous supporting characters, the show maintains a clear sense of right and wrong. Beautiful mountain scenery from the real-life Blue Ridge provide a wonderful sense of awe and authenticity. The show suffers from some significant weaknesses, namely uncompelling fight scenes, flat dialogue, and an awkward relationship between the lead and his former love interest that feels more like a distraction than serious character development. One of my favorite parts of Westerns are the dramatic and quotable one-liners, but sadly this series has precious few. Nevertheless, I think the show has great potential, and would love to see a season 2 to rectify these shortcomings.

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!
