Netflix’s new romance-fuelled series branded “guilty pleasure” goes straight into streaming chart

BBG News

As a devoted viewer, I can’t help but be smitten by the captivating charm of Netflix’s latest western romance, Ransom Canyon. It’s become my secret indulgence, a heartwarming tale that I find myself drawn to like a moth to a flame, earning it the title of a “guilty pleasure“.

Last week’s streaming release has climbed up to the fifth spot on the Netflix UK Top 10 list.

Featuring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, this series draws inspiration from the book series of the same title penned by Jodi Thomas.

What to Read Next

Greetings to Ransom Canyon, a place where love intertwines with sorrow and devotion under the vibrant red cliffs of the Texas Hill Country.” (This version maintains the original’s tone and meaning while using slightly different phrasing.)

Involved in a struggle for dominance over the land, three successive ranching families face an external threat. These forces aim to dismantle their traditional lifestyle and endanger both their lives and the heritage they’ve built.

Duhamel portrays Staten Kirkland, a resilient rancher, as he navigates his journey towards revenge after suffering a devastating heartbreak.

In terms of hopeful prospects, it’s just Quinn O’Grady (Kelly), a long-standing family friend who owns the local dancehall, that he finds encouraging.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing struggle to safeguard Ransom, an enigmatic cowboy arrives, stirring up old ghosts. Simultaneously, Staten clenches his fists, determined to preserve the territory he cherishes, and a single affection is all it takes to lure him away from the shadows that torment him.

According to IMDb ratings, the show currently boasts a 6.9 score, with viewers particularly appreciating the acting performances and central love stories depicted within it.

It’s not surprising that Ransom Canyon has been compared to Yellowstone, but many viewers find it to be less intense or demanding to watch.

As a fellow enthusiast, if you’re yearning for a captivating drama infused with a hint of rustic charm, I can confidently say that you might find yourself utterly engrossed by this gem. In fact, some have even admitted to secretly relishing it as their very own “guilty pleasure”.

A different IMDB reviewer stated: “This series shares similarities with Yellowstone, as characters don dressed like cowboys on occasion and cattle seldom appear. In reality, it seems like Virgin River has been moved to Texas.

Netflix hasn’t announced a second season of “Ransom Canyon” yet, but its showrunner, April Blair, has mentioned to TVinsider that she’s currently brainstorming ideas for the upcoming episodes in her writers’ room.

Ransom Canyon is currently streaming on Netflix.
