When I watched the first episode, I thought another western drama but shot in beautiful Alberta, Canada. But the series characters kept me watching week after week. Headed by a matriarch this time around, it stars Nancy Travis convincingly playing Isobel Mc Murray, a tough no-nonsense rancher who has 2 sons that are rodeo bull riders and a daughter-in-law who is a trick rider and what happens to them. It is well written with a good script, good acting and beautifully filmed. What also appealed to me was the importance of family and family values making that a cornerstone to each episode. With no foul language and a mild degree of violence, RIDE is one of the western winners this year! Hope there is a season 2! Definitely recommended!
