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.

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!

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!

The previews for the show looked promising, unfortunately, they were the best part of this show. It tries to be Heartland and Yellowstone at the same time and is niether. Too much drama way too fast in the first episode. I remember Hallmark's short lived "When Hope Calls" had a ranch family as a back story with basically the same issues. That family was actually interesting. This was a moder update and I don't think it works. Another widower with a huge ranch under forclosure. Seems like that's been done before.

They've tried to put to many story lines into one show. I'm a big fan of Hallmark series, but won't watch this one. It's too bad because I liked the cast.

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!
