Review

I'm not particularly a fan of country music so I watched this first out of simple curiosity. Now I'm hooked. Why The MUSIC in this show is terrific. I have actually bought two of the songs from i Tunes. And like I said I'm not a fan of country music. The plot is FUN. It's interesting. Some reviewer said that it was an obvious plot but my god this is TV and if the plot is obvious then so is the on button on your remote. The plot is FUN and it moves fast. When some character acts like a jerk his retribution is swift. When two young people look lovingly at each other in the next scene they are bonded. If the rich guy has a reputation for buying his way into politics in the next scene he DOES IT. It's TV and it's fun. The music in the show is amazing to me. I'm a classical music kind of guy but I melted over the performances of � Into You" and "If I didn't know better". Also the talent who sings these songs is new to me and they have intriguing voices. Surprisingly one is an Australian and the other is English but they know how to do lovely singing.
