Plot
Follows the lives and tragedies of rising and fading country music stars in Nashville, Tennessee.
Cast
Too many to list but it's the ladies who really shine namely Hayden Panettiere, Clare Bowen, Connie Britton and the Stella girls.
Verdict
I don't like soap operas and let's not kid ourselves here, Nashville is a soap opera. A high budget soap opera, but a soap opera all the same and as such it suffers with all the expected tropes and cliches it just does so looking a tad shinier.
With a cast of "Young hot things" and being able to cash in on lots and lots of soundtrack albums, Nashville was an inevitable gold mine and with 6 seasons and consistent popularity it exceeded most folks expectations.
The only reason this guy watched it? It was one of my ex's favorite shows and sadly lots of songs off the show also wound up in her playlist.
Now credit where credit is due, some were catchy but this guy really doesn't like country (Cowboy emo) so most was like nails down a chalkboard. Some of the cast were very engaging, but for every one who was three were not. And the plots? Well as I said, it's a soap opera so what do you expect.
Nashville is a tacky cheesy mess of guitar twanging, love triangles and Jerry Springer-esque moments but as far as this genre is concerned it's one of the best.
Rants
There's just something deeply unlikable about country music. It harks of the lunatic excessive patriotism you see from certain areas of the United States, it goes hand in hand with some truly despicable political policies and reeks of hypocrisy with millionaires trying to present themselves as grass roots.
The Good
Some of the music is enjoyable Many of the girls are fantastic here Hell of a budget behind it all
The Bad
Many of the actors/characters are dreadful Most of the music is just ear cancer Ultimately, just a soap opera.
