i still love the show, but yeah, it's not really a watercooler/thigns to talk baout show
New season started last night - What's the over/under on how many episodes Rayna will drag out the Deacon/Luke indecision.
the live portions were strange; the performances were good but the way it looked was really weird

I am amazed at how quickly this show became unwatchable for me

completely counterintuitively given how much I hate contemporary country music when I encounter it in the wild, if the entire show was nothing but musical performances I would be very much on board; I am wholly uninterested in the permutations of relationship drama (the industry scheming can stay, though; that was the best part of the season 1 finale).
― 💪😈⚠️ (DJP), Thursday, 25 September 2014 16:51 (nine years ago) link
the music definitely is great
the show is getting more and more ridiculously soapy as it goes on but that's the part I love. stupid manufactured drama wheeeeee

haven't seen the new episode but i love the weird mix of mundanity and hysteria to the soapiness. one second there's the most banal relationship drama, the next someone is faking a miscarriage with a vat of pig blood. that there's this excess of great genre exercises instead of a handful of songs they pimp episode after episode (don't they realize glee got away with this cuz they were pop covers rather than originals?) just adds to the absurdity

it's so counter-intuitive that a tv show would have you go "wow that's a good song" multiple times an episode and then you never hear that song again.

like if the monkees did "last train to clarksville" just once
― da croupier, Thursday, 25 September 2014 19:40 (nine years ago) link
in an episode with six other songs
i ended up buying the soundtracks for all 3 seasons, and most of it plays really well; I'm impressed by how many songs hold up to repeated listens
even Avery's weird emo stuff from the first season has grown on me

i haven't watched this forever but i just saw some pictures of SCARLETT and did they make her all elegant and fancy as part of her music-career storyline? whatever happened to her lovable backwoods bohemian tramp couture
― j., Friday, 12 December 2014 04:01 (nine years ago) link
she is still backwoods bohemian iirc

whew

I haven't watched a single episode this season. Worth catching up on or nah?
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 12 December 2014 05:02 (nine years ago) link
yes and no
there's a whole weird storyline with scarlett and a pretty on-the nose 'homeless blues guy'
but they've turned up the volume on the drama with rayna/luke/deacon, and juliet & avery has been kinda interesting
also: they've released a christmas album :D

oh shit, and before I forget --- mr Veg discovered this on a weird Nashville tribute to Motley Crue (yeah idk either)Scarlett & Gunnar doing a cover of 'Without You'

I hate Luke, and not the good kind of "I'm going to keep watching and hope something bad happens to him" way, but in the "Get back to me when he's killed by a pack of wild dogs" way.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 12 December 2014 07:05 (nine years ago) link
right there with you
I want him to be riddled with gunfire every single time he's on camera

welp

I will miss u Rayna ;_;
It sucks that they killed her off in such a truncated way on such a low-quality season but oh wellEven though I kinda knew it was going to happen I still bawled when they sang to her on the hospital bed because I'm made of corn and cheese obv
My solution was to put everyone BUT Rayna, Deacon, Avery and Juliette into a car and drive it off a cliff but oh well
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 26 February 2017 06:07 (seven years ago) link
This CMT season is really low budget & not-good
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 26 February 2017 06:08 (seven years ago) link
but I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth at my show still being on the air in any fashion at all
I'm glad I can let go of this show now. Plots were crap and the songs aren't even good now like they were in the first season especially.
