Now streaming on Netflix, the house of “Virgin river” (Six seasons, seven on the way), is “Ransom Canyon”. Like “Virgin River”, he adapts the work of a best -selling romantic novelist – Jodi ThomasWho establishes his books in his original state of Texas – put pretty people in a magnificent landscape and complicate their lives with love, hatred, calamity and a little sex. Feels like a safe bet, in other words.
As in most shows of this type, there is a couple in its center – quantum tangled, their frightening action sometimes expressed at a distance, sometimes rolled up. But wherever the story leads them, wherever their attention turns, as long as they take them to meet in the first place, it is given that they will find their way to the other, at least until one of them leaves the show. I do not deliver a spoiler here; It's in the manual.
In my spirit “Ransom Canyon”, developed by April Blair (“Jane by design”), continue to release “Handsome Canyon”, and no one here is more beautiful than Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel), a large breeder with bad mood hair and a peppery beard. His cosmic partner, if he admits, is Quinn O'Grady (Minka Kelly), formerly a classic pianist of a big note – “Leonard was the only pianist I heard to do justice,” explains his manager (Kate Hudson), trying to be silent from her back in Manhattan. Pensive arpeggios.

Moving away from his keyboard career like Jack Nicholson “Five easy pieces”, “ Quinn Hied at New York's house when Staten's wife, her best friend, took sickness; She stayed after her death, then stuck after the death of Staten's son in a car accident. While waiting for Staten to raise the head of the mourning and the way for the capture that she is, she cultivates the lavender and directs a bar – excuse me, a “dance hall” – with the bartender Ellie (Marianly Tejada). As can happen in fiction and in life, the brother-in-law of Staten, Davis (Eoin Macken), carried his own torch for Quinn; Although a man of subsequent patterns, he seems sincere in this, which makes trouble all the more and sad.
The son of the hero of bellicose football of Davis, Reid (Andrew Liner), has just been thrown by the cheerleader with sad eyes Lauren (Lizzy Greene), daughter of the sheriff Dan Brigman (Philip Winchester) and sometimes recovering the alcoholic mother Margaret (Sarah Minnich). His new pressure is Lucas (Garrett Wareing), sensitive and blonde and essentially an orphan – Dad is gone – and linked to his annoying brother, Kit (Casey W. Johnson).
All this only prepares the ground. You have now guessed that this is a show full of confrontation and secrets and characters generally somehow; Any happy interlude is likely to lead to an argument, any gathering to a fight or to someone who should know how to pull your mouth better. I had to continue writing names and links to keep everyone straight – who was the son or the grandson, etc. Sometimes they were all one family. For a while, I thought that a character and his sister were the same person.

Meanwhile, a company called Austin Water & Power wants to execute a pipeline in the Ginormous aquifer in Ransom Canyon. He threw money like confetti, but he came across a pair of real estate objects in the people of the old hairstyle of Rancher Acianienne (James Brolin), to whom the thing simply smells bad (he also has a dead son), and Staten, who does not want him between him and his “60,000 acres of grasses from unclear Texas” and the 30,000 head of battle. (We are shown some representative.)
“The world dries up,” explains Staten. “This aquifer nourishes wells, our harvests and our cattle, and I'm not going to let them run dry.”
In this comfortable community, he comes from Dark and Dark Yancy Gray (Jack Schumacher), perhaps dangerous Yancy Gray – it is a dangerous name, anyway – which reads poetry and sliding in a work with a cap and a flirt with Ellie. Finally, after having her hand cut – she was a nurse before working a bar, and isn't it the same? – He will explain his scars, as Indy in Marion At the end of “Raiders of the Lost Ark”. There is a certain type of character in such stories that love will improve, and you can see in his eyes that it could be one.
There is no reason on Earth not to take advantage of this well-made, well-played, soapy, soap-bouble show, of which 10 episodes have been whole for you. Come for disorderly life, the promise of love, old -fashioned values. Come for hats, boots, horses, robustness formerly sold cigarettes. Stay for the Country Music Camée. It is not wherever you hear a line like “tell boys of saddle.” But you will hear it here.
