Critic Reviews

Nashville never strays too far from its real story--the ups and downs of glitzy stardom, with Britton and Panettiere performing their own vocals.

The hype is justified. Nashville's terrific.

Nashville is arguably the best-written new TV series of the fall season.

They [Rayna and Juliette], and the other characters, are anything but [one-dimensional cliches], thanks not only to the writing but also to the performances of the colorful and capable cast.

It has Emmy caliber performances from its two leads and an authenticity that won't quit.

[Show creator Callie Khouri] has created rich histories for each of her compelling characters. The actors give nuanced performances that make their characters more than one-dimensional cliches.

Nashville is the best new show of the fall. [29 Oct 2012, p.37]

A warm, welcome and even moving return. Best of all, a reflective one.

Rarely does a pilot present a world as completely as Nashville does in its first hour.

The recipe may go back to your grandma or beyond, but that doesn't mean you won't eat two helpings and beg for more.
