After just 2 episodes, I had to share the dish on this show. It's not clear whether it's intentionally terrible or they're trying to create a meaningful drama and failing miserably. I enjoy it for the delightful awfulness. The setup echoes Fox's Empire, which chronicled a Black family's music biz. This time it's the first family of country music with Susan Sarandon chewing the scenery as the matriarch and Trace Adkins rather flat as her hubby. Every scene drops another trashy nugget to amp up the stakes with dialogue that's truly laughable. The brief musical performances feature enjoyably accessible tunes and there are regular cameos by famous musicians playing themselves. In the grand over-the-top tradition of shows like Dynasty, this series is trash TV at its best.

Disappointing performances on all levels, from the acting to the music. Questionable and basic storylines. It's like watching a train wreck! Where is the quality? Where is the country grit? Where is the original music? Where is the real production of a better show? To sum it up, Monarch feels incomplete and lacks authentic storytelling. Fledgling.

As first episodes often are, this one is a little bogged down with all the dialogue to set up the context and character introductions. Beyond that, it had the music and glamour you'd expect in a country music soap, and a somewhat interesting start of a story. Good production values. I'll give it another episode to see how it progresses.

I love the show. I love thanks for the great cliffhanger and it looks like this is going to have a lot

Please don’t even waste your time on this show it’s a ten times worse empire with close to zero if not zero colored actors.
