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.

5.9 stars.

Let's see if there are any reviews out there so at least I have an idea what I'm getting myself into with 'Ride'. Only one review? This show's been going for a month and only one person took the time to leave a note? RED FLAG! A good show attracts a dozen reviews in the first month, a great show gets a hundred. Take for example 'The Way Home', fans can't shut up about that one, me included.

'Ride' is slow moving, dry, and too cowpoke for my taste. It's all about rodeo and cowboy stuff. It centers on a family who owns a ranch in Colorado (I believe that's the location) and they are behind on the mortgage payments.

Nancy Travis is a well known player in Hollywood and shouldn't have any problems keeping a series afloat, but 'Ride' is gonna sink faster than the ranch they are trying to save. I don't have much else to say but that the cast is talented and ready to perform, but there is no story, and no script. 'Yellowstone' this is NOT. 'Free Rein' this is NOT, 'Heartland' this is NOT. This is a show for ranchers and cowboys, but fails in its attempts to resuscitate a dying breed (of ranchers and cowboys).

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.

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 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.
