The first season of Ransom Canyon enjoyed a four-week stint on Netflix's Global Top 10 TV list, earning praise from fans as "Yellowstone meets Virgin River". Following the release of the trailer, viewers claimed it looked "way better than Yellowstone" and exuded "cowboy Virgin River" energy.
Taking to IMDb to voice their opinions, devadrianb rated it a perfect 10/10, stating: "If you're a fan of emotionally rich dramas like Yellowstone and Virgin River, this show is about to become your next obsession.
"While it begins with a slow burn, give it an episode or two and you'll be completely hooked. The storytelling draws you in gradually, but once it hits its stride, it doesn't let go."
