Josh Duhamel Stars in Netflix’s Western Drama ‘Ransom Canyon’: Review

Netflix’s new Western romance series, Ransom Canyon, might remind you of something you’ve seen before. The show has a familiar feel, like those background shows you watch while doing other things. It’s a bit like Varsity Valley, a parody of primetime soaps that’s meant to be generic and easily digestible. While this might not sound like a glowing review, there’s a place for these types of shows in our TV diets.

The show follows a Texas rancher who is fighting to keep his family’s legacy alive after the loss of his wife and son. Along the way, he tries to win the heart of a woman he’s loved for years. With stars like Josh Duhamel, Minka Kelly, and James Brolin, the series has the potential to draw you in, even if it doesn’t break any new ground. It’s the kind of show you might enjoy while unwinding on the couch, providing some easy entertainment without requiring your full attention. So, if you’re in the mood for some run-of-the-mill, feel-good drama, Ransom Canyon might be just what you’re looking for.
