Ransom Canyon represents the best of what TV has to offer in so many ways. There's solid acting across the board, it looks beautiful, and most importantly, it allows the audience to blissfully escape into another world for an hour at a time. Read full review

There is no reason on Earth not to enjoy this well-made, nicely acted, soapy, soap-bubble show, whose 10 episodes have been laid out whole for you to binge. Come for the messy lives, the promise of love, the old-fashioned values. Read full review

On paper, Ransom Canyon could have been just another modern TV Western misfire. On the screen, however, Ransom Canyon executes its simple premise at a high level, balancing at least a dozen great characters that will win audiences over with their storybook earnestness and Southern charm.

No one is going to mistake Ransom Canyon for prestige television. But it’s certainly a soapy, guilty pleasure, anchored by performances from Duhamel and Kelly that make you want to see both of their characters get what they want, which is each other. Read full review

Maybe Ransom Canyon’s more vibey elements are all that matter to the show’s intended audience anyway. .... If they do notice the themes echoing through the show—the dubious ethnic representation, say, or the stagnant gender politics—maybe these things can be brushed aside as they watch a woman almost have it all, if only one mopey man could see her worth. But that doesn’t make it any less of a bummer. Read full review

There may be enough romance novel enthusiasts to keep “Ransom Canyon” afloat — I can’t claim to be one — but it’s hard to see anyone else flocking to these hills. After rushing to set its narrative stakes in the first 30 minutes, it forgoes urgency. The love triangles muddle the skullduggery, and vice versa. Read full review

"Canyon" doesn't have an authentic bone in its 10-episode first season. It's all forced and uncomfortable; you could style a drinking game every time a character awkwardly says "the great state of Texas." Read full review
