Nashville

Realistically, this show probably just came to mind because I'm binge watching it at the moment.

Nashville is a show set in the Nashville music scene, and follows the life of made-up famous country music stars. It focuses on long time superstar, Rayna Jaymes, and rising star Juliette Barnes, and follows the two stars as they butt heads and fight for the spotlight. The show not only focuses on the business aspect of these superstars, but also the personal aspects of their lives, and their love lives. Minor characters Scarlett O'Connor and Gunnar Scott constantly battle between a professional and romantic relationship, and the show reveals all the complications in between.

The show does a good job of explaining that not everything is always as it seems, although it may appear that superstars live a glorious life, there are lots of troubles that come along with the constant attention and spotlight. Nashville is comedic, dramatic, and sometimes tragic; truly an emotional roller coaster.All of the actors and actresses in the show are said to sing for themselves (since the show is about the music scene, there are multiple songs performed each episode), and iTunes provides albums of the music performed on the show.

Critical Acclaim

The fact that the actors are actually singing in the episodes is highly respected. Nashville is compelling and detailed with something for everyone.
