“We’re doing a very traditional [sitcom] format, with a live audience, but because we’re working with Netflix we get to explore. We don’t have to pump a comedic joke at the end of every scene, don’t have a 22-minute time capsule. When we want to create the look and image of the show, you have to respect what’s around you. You don’t want something that’s going to bleed ‘fiction.’ Netflix has given us the liberty to break [conventions] and we have gone after them hard.”
The Ranchwill also break other sitcom traditions, establishing a different way to use music and lightening. And there will be a keen use of colorful language. Executive producer Jim Patterson had this to say about the show and the way they are approaching it.
“We’ve made this how people live. When I go home at night, I don’t turn on every single light in my home. You live in shadows.”
The Ranchis trying a new format on Netflix. Like most network sitcoms, the first season will consist of 20 episodes. But here, a set of 10 episodes will arrive twice a year. You can take a look at the first episodes in this hilarious first trailer. This looks like another hit for Netflix. What do you think? Will you be visitingThe Ranch?
