ABC's Nashville

You know I'm a huge fan of country music, which is why I've started watching this new TV Show Nashville in the first place. So what am I thinking after 7 episodes?

The plot is just about alright, nothing ground breaking has happened yet. I can't think of one single character that is particularly likeable, which is a disaster. Maybe the writers thought creating all those annoying characters with their own little flaws would make the show relatable, unfortunately this is not the case. I had some hopes for the Scarlett/Gunnar constellation, but not only is their storyline not moving forward at all (like everybody else's storylines) - in fact it got completely stuck - their songs are very monotone too.

I assume Hayden Panettiere is supposed to represent this new country pop generation of The Band Perry etc., but then again the sound could definitely be a lot catchier or the lyrics should tell some sort of story. I haven't found myself singing or humming along, have any of you guys?

I really want to like the show, so there should be at least one person or couple I look forward to watching every week. I used to love Hayden on Heroes, can't say that about anyone on Nashville. Maybe you need to give it more time like that other Southern family show Hart of Dixie. It's just that Hart of Dixie does have a few funny characters.
