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.

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.🤷‍♀️

If you take Dynasty (new) and Nashville, mash it up and leave the good parts out, I imagine this is what you'd be left with.

It's just incredibly unbelievably cliche. I'm only 10mins in and I'm bored. This isn't typical. Do I keep watching or cut my losses and see if they prove me wrong? Jk, this show won't make it to another season, assuming it doesn't get cancelled mid-season.

It's bad guys. (And that kills me-I love 90s country through and through.)

Maybe DW Moffett will bring some life in? I love that guy! But seriously, not everyone in country music has an accent-in fact, most don't. There's good music played in the background, so that's a plus. Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Tanya Tucker, and Little Big Town make appearances, so there's that.

I guess Nashville has been off long enough that someone thought this show was ready to pick up the slack. It's possible the writers missed a few cliches but I would need to watch it again and take notes in order to be certain. And I'm not going to do that. Ever. I actually enjoy some of the actors and I experience a mix of sorrow and contempt for them signing on to this incredibly bad program. And I feel like a dolt for watching even the pilot.

Apparently I haven't written enough to justify having my opinion recorded at IMDB. So I'm going to type a few (45) more words until I meet their mythical minimum (Oh joy!).

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.
