Blue Ridge

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.

Since the regular tv season ended, I am always looking for new shows to watch during the off season. I saw the title of the series and thought it was worth watching and also saw that Sarah Lancaster (from "Chuck") was part of the cast and decided to watch. I have been pleasantly surprised.

The actors and characters are well chosen and make the storylines believable. The subplot of the main character trying to restart his relationship with his ex wife is filled with some humor due to his uneasiness. As a former green bret andthe sheriff has to deal with many characters that want to take justice in their own hands. Exterior pressures make the sheriff's life a little complicated but similar to a western; the sheriff always gets his man. Nice scenery helps.

Looking forward to watching. I hope that the series gets renewed.

This TV series brings back the majority of the main characters from the movie. Not many creators do that. Well done, Gary Wheeler. We were hooked after the very first episode. This series has drama, emotion, humor, conflict, and resolution within each episode. The actors have great chemistry, both on and off-screen. I've seen this first-hand from being a part of the background for three episodes. The entire cast and crew have great camaraderie and respect for one another. I can't wait for each episode to air and look forward to re-watching this series over and over. Thank you again, Gary, for bringing this series to life. Well Done!

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.

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.
