Based on first episode, the accents are really bad. British accents don't translate to Texas accents very well. Very inconsistent. I loved Anna Freil as Marcella on PBS/Masterpiece.

I'm a huge country music fan. It seems there has to be country singers who can act, or actors who can sing country. Sorry Trace, you're a good singer.

The fancy clothes are, well, fancy. Susan Sarandon's clothes are great. Do sisters always have to compete and fight? Can't they both be successful singers? And the son is looked down on by the father and they can't get along, so cliche.

I watched this episode beginning to end. The ending has an interesting twist. I doubt I will watch future episodes. Don't think it will last past 3 episodes if it's not revamped. Just my opinion.🤷‍♀️

We watched all 3 of the current episodes of this awfully dreadful drama. I must be a glutton for punishment to have even thought I would've made it this far. Going to the dentist and having molars pulled without sedation would be less painful than watching this drivel. Stabbing my self in the eyes would feel better. It has all the clichés of a bad soap opera. How can these people even be related to one another? Even if it is television, we kind of expected better from Fox to have put their brand name behind this... and then to call it " The seasons best drama"... or something to that nature... speaking of nature, epusode 3 is almost over, and I think I just threw up in my mouth.

I don't know how this show got picked up. The storyline is awful and the acting is even worse. Nothing but a bunch of remake popular songs from the 90's and early 2000's acting like it was their songs. You'd think they could of at least hired some songwriters to write some original songs.

I can't believe Susan Sarandon agreed to do this. Always been a big fan of Trace Adkins, needs to stick to music. The rest of the cast is like watching a bad high school performance put on film.

I will say the house they filmed in is beautiful, but you can't expect the house to carry a show. I really was hoping this show would have been a hit.

After a big build up, this program turned out to be a complete disappointment. Ridiculous premise, horrible acting. I could hardly get past the first episode. I am a country music fan and found this to be a boring parody with unconvincing scenes and characters that fail to draw you in. If you don't believe me, watch the first episode for yourself! My question is how did such big name entertainers like Susan Sarandon and Trace Adkins get roped into this project? They try to create drama by bringing in some side stories but these fail to take off or bring any depth to the story. Maybe it picks up after the next episode, but I doubt I'll be turning in.

I hoped for a show that could top some of the flaws of the show Nashville. And as an Austin resident and kniwing that was the setting, how could this thing miss? In the first five minutes they take a guy ice fishing. To a glacier. On a helicopter. From Austin, TX. Airwolf was more realistic. I am shocked that a writer is too lazy or dumb to know anything about geography, but I guess I shouldn't be. Feels like it was written by a teenager with no real education that was told "you can do anything!" Aside from having value as a teaching item in the "here is what NOT to do as a writer" or maybe "Cliches 101", thus is truly worthless tv that probably will be cancelled after two episodes.
