User reviews

As a Hart of Dixie fan, I was a little worried based on some of the reviews. Turns out it was unfounded. The only similarities are that it happens to be based in a small town, the protagonist moves there to start over and the doctor is played by the same actor. It's a completely different story line, its dramatic and its darker. I'm happy I gave it a chance. You should too!

I didn't know there were books and I've never watched Heart of Dixie so I can't compare this to either like other viewers. But I just binge watched the entire first season on the strength of the chemistry between the two lead actors and I definitely want a season 2 since 1 ended on such a cliffhanger. Please keep making this show. It might be predictable and formulaic in the same ways so many things are these days, but it's no less addicting for that.

During a recent illness, I was laid up for several weeks, and this was a pleasant, undemanding way of passing the time. It made zero demands on me. Annette O'Toole is always a pleasure to watch, even if her character is annoying. This is an actress who has never gotten the credit she deserves. The men are handsome in non-threatening ways. The heroine is pretty and smart, but not too pretty, and not too smart. It's like a Harlequin romance for TV.

Two things bug me: That's not Humboldt County. Trinity Alps, maybe, or somewhere in the Sierras. It rarely snows in Humboldt, and there are no snow capped mountains. Humboldt, especially the pot growing areas, is cool, foggy, and green. I lived there, and that ain't it.

The other things is endemic to almost all TV and movies: the perfect hair and make up at all times. A woman spends the night in basically a hobo camp and the next morning her hair is smooth, glossy, and blow-dried, her eyeliner and mascara intact. lip gloss undisturbed. It's a pet peeve.

Not normally my kind of show.I always give them a shot though and this one pulled me in. Hope they make a second season.Me a 70 year old male who usually goes for the Fargo's and Breaking Bads of this world. A pleasant surprise.I do have a soft side.I did enjoy the Gilmore Girls.Had to keep that one quiet....

I love Virgin River but I am so annoyed with Charmaine in Season 2.

I'm glad it's back, but why does Charmaine have to be this annoying? This is too much. Sometimes I even gotta take a break because she can be so annoying.

Kind of a mix between Dr Quinn Medicine Woman and Grey's Anatomy (with much less sex.) Mel, Jack, Preacher and even ornery Doc are good characters. But Hope McCrea is like the Jar Jar Binks of this show. She is, without a doubt, one of the worst, most annoying characters I've ever seen on any show EVER. I'd give it a higher rating if she left.

I really like this series and sincerely hope they don't take too long to release season 2. It's well acted and produced. It's light and romantic without being cheesy. I'm glad Netflix finally produced something heart warming like this. Looking forward to season 2!

Every time someone says are you okay. Loved Seasons 1 and 2, but 3 was so bad. Imaginary drama, bad acting, they even gave up on the scenery, just nothing really there. I hope they stop the bleeding and end it here.

The characters, the romance, the story. Perfect. Netflix nailed this one, and I can't wait to see what happens next in this quirky little town. The book character adaptations are on point and the storylines are immersive. Thrilled to finally find a balance of drama and romance on the platform. Move over hallmark, you've got company.

The most annoying character on this show is Charmaine. Seriously, the desperation is overwhelming!

This show reminds me of Heart of Dixie. Of course with a few changes. Just started watching it so far I like what I'm watching! Give this show a chance a cute little gem!

Not only is this show full of heartfelt emotions, it's clean for the entire family to watch. I love the characters, their stories and what each of them brings to the table. The acting is phenomenal, Mark did such a wonderful job portraying his emotions on his face, that was one of my favorite things. I binged this show in less than 24 hours and I'm already wanting to know about the next season. Fantastic all around.

And yes, it has similarities to hart of Dixie but you have to get over it, this show is worth your time.

I've read most of the books from Robyn Carr and thrilled to watch the series. The characters are wonderful and I hope they come out with more seasons.

It is for those whom like long winded series's about small UsA town communities, the storyline is very predictable so there is nothing unexpected in the end. They crammed most soap cliches in Season 1 so its hard to see how this story can develop into something memorable. The main characters are great actors, though i think the slow burning attraction should have been better developed over a few seasons, the rush killed the chemistry. Some of the supporting characters not just bad actors but downright annoying, so much so that we reached for the fast forward button.

Every episode recap for you here if you don't care to watch.

The words said between Jack and Mel's constant flirting and loin-panting. Jack: I want you, only you. Mel. I think I'm falling in love with you.... Mel: I can't. I'm not ready (I really want you too though say my puppy eyes and lip biting) wait, no. I can't.....

Hope is absolutely annoying in Season 2 (Ok, she was throat-punch annoying in Season 1, and now she is extra ick and I take her screentime moments to scroll TikToks.

Charmaine - please go away, squat out the spawn and be gone already. There is a book called "He's Just Not Into You" please read it.

Yet, I'm sitting here watching it, so, yah....

While I enjoyed the first season, mostly enjoyed the second. Season 3 could not have been more depressing. I struggle now to think of anything positive. Too heavy on the dark nothing light in the season has made me walk away. Too bad.

Didnt even know there were books. Never watched Hart of Dixie. And I love the show. Was hesitant at first because I had high hopes for V Wars, which is horrible, but was pleasantly, and happily, surprised with this show.

Its watchable but not without skipping parts of it, am reminded of how horrible O'Toole is as an actress and honestly she never could act, get tired of the constant bickering from the doctor and his wife O'toole wish some pot grower would cap her character.

I liked first two seasons a lot. Light and fluffy, yet coherent storyline and interesting twists, albeit bit predictable. After watching season three I'm left wondering what the heck happened? We were treated with several lackluster stumps of a story, none of them leading in to absolutely nowhere. Season left me with a nasty feeling of everyting scattering to every possible direction. It almost looks as if screenwriter(s?) left the set and all they had to work with were bunch of random notes on post-its. Nothing gets properly explored or explained, seemingly major incidents are far too quickly written off and forgotten.

Not really holding my breath in anticipation of next season.

Giving this a 5 due to,mixed emotions over season.

Was excited for the continuation,but sadly those feelings left.

The stories felt weak,forced & unsure of direction.

Watched season one,twice due to story & character development.

This season characters kind of were annoying,even ones liked originally.

Season one had quirky & small town charm,with serious moments.

Unfortunately season two felt,like it was trying too hard & making the stories overdone.

Got sick of the Jack,Charmaine & baby parts.

With Mel & Jack it was like,just figure things out & move forward.

Hope for a season three to finish out any unresolved storylines,otherwise wasted my time.

Especially need closure with Doc,Jack & even Preacher.

The cinematography & music,although was done right.

Season 4: After waiting.. Forever! We finally had it air & honestly,although the 12 episodes went fast the season felt underwhelming.

Was actually surprised they didn't drag out,Mel's pregnancy dilemmas or despite Charmaine finally looking pregnant(the question on everyone's mind)are the babies Jacks until after the birth.

Although Hope had a TBI she came off more annoying,than portrayed in other seasons.

The other characters although add something,more times than anything are background fluff because otherwise Mel & Jack's overall storyline would run out rather quick.

Did anyone feel that Mel,became annoying once pregnant? .. She was treating Jack suddenly like a kid,as though all he was doing wasn't right.

Not sure what season 5 will bring beyond a few expanded story elements introduced in season 4,like the grandson or the fact who Jo Ellen's husband is related to.

Feel they did a weird character arch with Brady,especially once Brie told him about a past situation.. It made him lose his characters edge not saying people can't mature,but it seemed a little dramatic.

But thinking what is left? Except,Mel having the baby & a wedding.

Sure many could wonder will Ricky come back & so forth,but again.. Filler stories.

Was nice seeing Paige return even if briefly,but ready for closure on that story too.

On a side note: Did anyone feel the only thing they could overall do for episodes was giving some kind of medical issues to people,seemed like at every corner it was one health crisis after another.

Season 5: Actually upset!

Eventually the truth of the twins would come out,but honestly talk about milking a storyline.. Birth those twins & leave for good! You deserve who impregnated you.

Than why have Mel get pregnant after her previous history,over several seasons just for her to lose that baby?

Basically feel Paige used Preacher.. Yes it was horrible what she endured,but once it was over she left him in the dust.. He invested and lost so much,talk about false gratitude.

Didn't care about Bri and her drama or that she won in court,felt she was beyond quick to just end things with Brady talk about my way or the highway.

Many other things could be further discussed such as,Mel & Jack felt like secondary characters.

The scene with Preacher and the female firefighter,in the bar was just oddly awkward.

Oh and of course another pregnancy needs to be added,to stories that have been almost overdone with said topic.

The most exciting part? The wildfire! How sad,right?

Will be watching how things plays out after previews towards end of episode 10,after being invested for this long but feel time to wrap the series up.
