Ride

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!

It seems to me that this show is trying to be exactly like Heartland. I believe Heartland was lucky enough to have great actors and writers come together and find the formula that worked. In my opinion theres really only room for one of these type shows. I dont consider Yellowstone and Ride or Heartlands mold. Just watching the ads for Ride and its basically like seeing a mirror to Heartlands early years of trick riding and rodeo action. The difference is Like I said Heartland hit the jackpot with writing and acting coming together. We need fresh new ideas like the streaming companies have been doing not these carbon copies with 1/2 the talent.

I totally thought this one would be a winner, as I love Nancy Travis and Beau Mirchoff. But, I have watched 4 episodes and find Ride rather boring. The character development has been confusing and off-putting. I really don't like the Valeria character and the younger brother. I also don't know how someone who is a trick rider would know anything about how to train a bull rider. Which brings me to my biggest problem with this show. I find rodeos and everything associated with them to be appalling. It is animal cruelty, and I seriously think if this show had been about cattle ranching or about horses or farming, I wouldn't have had an issue. Needless to say I won't be continuing with the show, and really hope Hallmark can find better scripts as they have really been letting their fans down recently.

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!

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.
