The most interesting thing about The Ranch is in the credits. That’s not intended as a put-down; this sitcom about a football hero returning to his hometown after playing out the string in the wide world is reasonably funny, its touches of poignance satisfactorily bittersweet, and there are lots of less profitable ways to spend half an hour with your TV, many of which do not even involve a Kardashian.
The Ranch‘s significance lies in its ordinariness, starting with its plot. Ashton Kutcher stars as Colt Bennett, a local boy made not so good. A star high school quarterback whose wastrel ways undid him in college, the NFL and now even Canadian football. As television critic Glenn Garvin notes, a sitcom like this is very much in line with what’s appearing right now on broadcast television. But you’ll find this one on Netflix instead.
