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.

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 waited to write a review and give this series a chance to evolve each week, however I am still not quite "hooked" yet and I don't really look forward to watching it the way I did with, "The Way Home". It's watchable, but something is lacking to hook me to care about the characters and what happens to them. I hope that the writers, actors, etc. Will examine what works and what may not be working to improve it. It could be so much better if there were some kind of dramatic plot line besides the "losing the property" one. I will keep watching for now, but I am not excited if I miss a show or two because of other life events.

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!

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!
