Review
Its detractors mostly fault it for what it's not it's not your typical doctordrama and it's not trying to portray a reallife surgeon.
If you judge the show on what it is trying to do provide 40 minutes of heartwarming entertainment then I think Rachel Bilson's nicechick schtick and Lemon's bullying friendship along with great support from the rest of the cast provides a nice alternative to practically every other TV programme out there.
I love that Hart of Dixie lets you take it with a pinch of salt. I like watching a medically oriented programme that doesn't recycle those ER clichés that every such show from Third Watch to Grey's Anatomy has to hobble through for the plot. 'Get the paddles! clear!' 'he's gone into vtach' tackycardia. I mean gimme a break. I'm sorry but the fake blood fake body parts fake killing and murdering all have their place but if a show wants a lighter take on living outside of Vegas Miami and LA with fewer guns more food flirting and dating and then what's not to like I wish them many happy returns.
Hart of Dixie definitely deserves a second and third season as far as I'm concerned. I think the show has plenty of material to explore with relationships farce & fancy and the fish out of water element. I really hope it gets renewed.
