Blue Ridge: The Series

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.

As someone born and raised in the Blue Ridge, I knew I had to give this series a shot. Now I am 3 episodes in and plan to be a regular viewer. It feels like an old-school serial Western but placed in modern times, showcasing many of the genre's best attributes. The lead character, a former Green Beret turned sheriff, is an honorable and courageous man driven by a deep convictions and a desire for law and order. Despite some morally ambiguous supporting characters, the show maintains a clear sense of right and wrong. Beautiful mountain scenery from the real-life Blue Ridge provide a wonderful sense of awe and authenticity. The show suffers from some significant weaknesses, namely uncompelling fight scenes, flat dialogue, and an awkward relationship between the lead and his former love interest that feels more like a distraction than serious character development. One of my favorite parts of Westerns are the dramatic and quotable one-liners, but sadly this series has precious few. Nevertheless, I think the show has great potential, and would love to see a season 2 to rectify these shortcomings.

This is an awesome TV show to watch with your family. Suspense drama life lessons is just a well-rounded show. I suggest everyone to go watch it. Jeremiah Wade and his boy are awesome as well. Looking forward to the last episode this Sunday can't wait to see what happens I would like to see more of the way family like it was an episode one when they were at a moonshine thing The guy standing in behind Jeremiah Wade with awesome love to see more of them guys Gary Wheeler and all of his people put this film together has done a phenomenal job falls in line with the original movie made in 2020 let's go. Very good show.

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!

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.
