Critics, per Wikipedia
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 45% approval rating based on 20 critic reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Inviting one too many unflattering comparisons to more compelling dramas, Ransom Canyon is a serviceable binge for fans of rustic soap operas but a middling example of the genre." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 58 out of 100 based on 11 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. According to data from Showlabs, Ransom Canyon ranked third on Netflix in the United States during the week of 14–20 April 2025.

Reactions
60 of 100 · most liked firstWhat a delightful surprise to see Ransom Canyon's main character champion solar power on his Texas ranch, then learn the series is Netflix's first powered entirely by solar and batteries. *I'm a proud member of the "smart women for bad TV" club - bonus pts when the bad TV supports renewable energy.

neutral · AI labelView post →So, I'm watching the aggressively mediocre but very pretty RANSOM CANYON (yes, Netflix won me back). Josh Duhamel's character is named "Staten." Am I thinking about Staten Island every time they say it out loud? No. I think about cholesterol levels. Which, I guess, is the target demo for this show.

neutral · AI labelView post →Decided to watch "Ransom Canyon" on Netflix and fell for the same damn trap again. It doesn’t finish. It ends, but it doesn’t finish. Every single plotline ends in a cliffhanger. Which likely means they’ll cancel it. This is why I usually try to stick to British limited series.

neutral · AI labelView post →Netflix has a new show that was def pitched as "Yellowstone x Friday Night Lights" called Ransom Canyon, it's a mess, and I'll be watching every episode. imo dems should create shows w tag lines like this one - "LOVE. LAND. LEGACY" - to launder our propaganda thru. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uRW...

positive · AI labelView post →I just watched the first ep of Ransom Canyon to avoid watching The Last of Us and now I’m sad because now I know what a series written by ChatGPT is like.
negative · AI labelView post →Started watching Ransom Canyon (instead of season 2 of the mushroom zombie show 🍄🧟♀️). It’s like the love child of Virgin River and Yellowstone. An easy frivolous watch.

neutral · AI labelView post →At the tail end of Ransom Canyon and all I can think about looking at Josh Duhamel now is “the man looks like he needs to bathe this entire show”.
negative · AI labelView post →5 minutes into watching Ransom Canyon on Netflix and OMG this is bad. That Australian ranch series was way better. And yes not everything needs to be prestige tv with great acting and plot. But I pay way too much for shit like this to get multiple seasons and the shit I like get canceled after 1!
negative · AI labelView post →So I started watching the cowboy series, Ransom Canyon, on Netflix, and actually enjoyed it. Until Wifey pointed out, after watching a bit with me: “So you’re watching soapies now?” 🫣
positive · AI labelView post →I’m watching what may be the most ridiculous show I’ve seen in a long while. Ransom Canyon on Netflix. If you like Hallmark movies, check it out.
neutral · AI labelView post →Netflix has announced Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly will star in Ransom Canyon, a show about intertwined Texas ranch families that is definitely not a ripoff of Yellowstone. Duhamel will star as Staten Kirkland, the generic Costco brand version of Staten Island.

neutral · AI labelView post →Despite being set in a small cowboy town, Ransom Canyon is a fairly typical U.S. series full of beautiful people, intrigue, and romance. Few of the usual American "small town" clichés a la Kevin Costner. Easy entertainment, set up for an inevitable season 2. 🇺🇸 ⭐⭐⭐
