The official description of the show states:
'Welcome to Ransom Canyon, where love, loss, and loyalty collide beneath the crimson mesas of Texas Hill Country. With three ranching family dynasties locked in a contest for control of the land, their lives and legacies are threatened by outside forces intent on destroying their way of life. At the center of it all is stoic rancher Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel), who is healing from heartbreaking loss and on a quest for vengeance. Staten's only glimmer of hope rests in the eyes and heart of Quinn O'Grady (Minka Kelly), longtime family friend and owner of the local dancehall. But as the battle to save Ransom wages on, a mysterious cowboy drifts into town, dredging up secrets from the past. Vise tightening, Staten fights to protect the land he calls home, and the only love that can pull him back from the demons that haunt him.'
Along with Duhamel and Kelly, the cast of Season 1 includes James Brolin, Eoin Macken, Lizzy Greene, Garrett Wareing, Andrew Liner, Marianly Tejada, Jack Schumacher, and Philip Winchester. April Blair developed the series and serves as executive producer and showrunner. Dan Angel and Duhamel also executive produce.

Travis Kelce's Shirtless Honey Scene with Bad Bunny Stole the Show in ‘Happy Gilmore 2'
I'm always a little bit wary when Hollywood decides to reboot a beloved movie from ages past. So even though I loved Happy Gilmore the original back when it first came out in 1996, I was skeptical that Adam Sandler and the gang could really strike gold twice with Happy Gilmore 2 nearly 30 years later. Well, I was wrong—the hit comedy is currently ranked number one on Netflix. And I suspect that success is in no small part thanks to one particular scene starring none other than Bad Bunny and Travis Kelce. *Minor spoilers ahead.* Scott Yamano/Netflix I won't spoil exactly how it is that the movie gets to this point, but part way through Happy Gilmore 2 audiences are treated to a scene of a shirtless Kelce being painted with honey by none other than Bad then being attacked by a bear. It's an imagined dream sequence in which Bad Bunny's character, caddy Oscar Mejías, seeks revenge on his overbearing (pun intended) boss, played by Kelce—and audiences are reportedly absolutely loving it. Scott Yamano/Netflix I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for not just Bad Bunny and Kelce, but the entire crew, to keep a straight face throughout filming. But as Sandler told Entertainment Tonight, Kelce seems more than comfortable letting loose and poking fun at himself. 'Travis is such a gentle, nice guy, and funny as hell,' says Sandler. 'He's like the guys I grew up with. When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.' Scott Yamano/Netflix Fans of both the A-list singer and the NFL all-star won't be surprised to see just how funny these two men are on the big screen. Bad Bunny has hosted and made numerous appearances on Saturday Night Live, bringing out big laughs every time. And Kelce has been racking up the acting credits as host of the game show Are You Smarter than a Celebrity? and in Ryan Murphy's Grotesquerie. Rebooting old favorites can't always guarantee a hit, but it looks like Sandler and the rest of the cast and crew can safely pronounce Happy Gilmore 2 to be a certified smash.

The #3 Movie on Netflix Is Leaving Everyone Emotionally Wrecked—And Yes, You Should Still Watch It
If you've been doing your usual nightly scroll through Netflix (or falling down yet another TikTok rabbit hole), chances are you've seen a new movie making waves: My Oxford Year. It dropped on Netflix on August 1 and has already clawed its way into the Top 10. But it's not just trending because it's shiny and new, it's trending because it's emotionally wrecking everyone who watches it. Seriously. The internet is filled with people documenting their 'before and after' reactions, and let's just say… it's giving emotional trauma, not your typical rom-com vibes. So what's all the fuss about? My Oxford Year follows Anna (played by Sofia Carson), a bright and driven American who lands a spot at the University of Oxford, basically fulfilling her lifelong dream. She's career-focused, driven, has her whole five-year plan mapped out. That is, until she meets Jamie (Corey Mylchreest), the witty, poetry-loving Brit who just so happens to be her TA. The two connect quickly over their shared love of literature and the romance feels like it's headed straight for classic rom-com territory. But here's the twist: this isn't just a love story. It's a life story. One that gently (then not so gently) reminds you that love, growth and grief are often tangled up together. And yeah… that's when the TikTok tears start. People are posting videos all smiles at the beginning, ready for a cute love story—and then BAM, cut to them at the end: sobbing, mascara running, questioning everything. It's almost funny if it weren't so brutally accurate. I'll be honest, this movie was already on my radar before the emotional carnage started trending. And while I usually go for feel-good content (because life is hard enough already, right?), I still plan on watching. Why? Because some of the takeaways from viewers have been so deeply moving, I feel like it might just be worth the emotional rollercoaster. One TikTok user shared, 'My Oxford Year taught me that when time is short, you love harder.' Another said the film gave them 'realizations,' adding, 'it teaches us that love should be felt and not understood." With perspective like that? Yeah. I'm definitely pressing play—with tissues in hand. Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox? Click here.
