Ever enquire what find to Kelso and Hyde afterThat ' 70 Showended ? possibly you bid the two would terminate up play brothers on a Colorado cattle farm , trading contumely and slamming beer on a porch forever ? Well , if you had that strangely specific ambition , Netflix has got you cover with its newfangled sitcomThe Ranch , which debuts on Friday , April 1 .
The first lagger for the gag - caterpillar track - filled situation comedy gives you a taste of what this show will be about : Ashton Kutcher plays a give out football player who returns home to his deadbeat brother ( Danny Masterson ) and their gruff , Red Forman - esque pop ( Sam Elliott ) . Put - downs are convert . Heartfelt second are share . Ashton Kutcher is shirtless at one peak .
The whole thing look fairly familiar , veracious ? Well , that ’s not surprising . With the arrival ofFuller House , Netflix seems to be in the clientele of supply comforter food for thought for nostalgic millennials , andThe Ranchlooks like it ’ll make for a tasty , down - dwelling house snack . Like Sus scrofa in a blanket . Or your mum ’s bean drop .

But there are some rough edge here . They can shake off F - dud , for one affair , and I assume they wo n’t have to do that wholespinning camera thingevery time the characters partake in a joint . And the mien of heavyweights like Elliott and Debra Winger could give the show some dramatic ponderosity . At the very least , it look better than Kutcher ’s stretch onTwo and a Half Men .
One more thing : can Laura Prepon’sOrange Is the New Blackcharacter make a cameo ? And canWilmer Valderrramastop by ? That would make this ranch a place I ’d need to hang around . Sign up herefor our daily Thrillist email , and get your fix of the best in nutrient / drinking / playfulness .
