A hot new series hit Netflix last week and shot to the streaming service's top ten list: Ransom Canyon.
The series comes from April Blair, whose previous credits include You and the Gossip Girl reboot, so it's no wonder Ransom Canyon is gaining steady popularity across TikTok and climbing the Netflix charts.
Based on Jodi Thomas' book series, the romance-fueled western follows three ranching families amidst the sweeping Texan landscapes across ten episodes.
Critics may have marked the series rotten in first reviews, but audiences are eating it up, with episodes rated 7.5/10 all the way up to 9/10 on IMDb, and an audience score of 73% on Rotten Tomatoes.
