Blue Ridge: The Series

The first thing I thought of when I started watching this was "not another series with an ex and a teenage daughter! " What is it with this theme. We've had Justified, Bosch, The Lincoln Lawyer, Goliath just to name a few. I only recognised one actor from the cast and he was in Longmire the rest were just unknown to me. The acting is awful and the storylines even worse just totally unbelievable! The fight scenes with the sheriff were actually laughable! The sheriff has the most annoying voice ever and is definitely miscast. I've just read they are making a second season please don't bother!!!!

10/10 Me and the family enjoyed this show. Loved the movie as well. It has great characters, charming settings and a country feel that we all love. Love how it shows that mistakes can be made but there are room for second chances. The cast is amazing. Loved that you actually added extra characters that were not in the movie. I would suggest watching the movie first. Where was this filmed? It was absolutely stunning scenery. RP and the other deputy could have a few episodes all their selves. Maybe the sheriff and Ellie marrying again, more children on their 2nd, 2nd turn at things. A Martinez and the feud would be more great plots. Would love a season 2!

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!

If you're after an old stool howler this is for you. Poor acting, poor body doubles, terrible script. This has it all and more. I'm going to soldier on as it is genuinely hilarious. Of course unintentionally. I'm so desperate to find something decent to watch and hoped this will be like Bosch or even Tracker. But this is unique and in a league of its own

Main dude is a poor man's Billy Bob Thornton and the rest f the cast are forgettable cannon fodder. To think this was recently made is quite shocking too. The budget must be very low just looking at the intro. Maybe it was made for network tv before landing on Amazon.

It's hard to say what's worse - the lack of originality and predictability or the truly bad dialog and acting. There's nothing new here - nothing. Even the few actors we expect more from, like Graham Greene, are given poorly defined tropes instead of characters, and disappoint. There's something charming about it, nonetheless, but it's like a mockery of a southern town, rather than a real one. The soundtrack is so jarring, it seems obvious that the showrunners wanted to promote the bands of their friends and family and somehow got away with it. Unless they step up the plot, soundtrack, dialog, fight choreography and acting going forward, this is a one season series.
