No thread yet? I was just thinking that I have too much to watch in my DVR and I shouldn’t bother but I liked this and fell for it’s “fish out of water” wiles.
It’s more or less Sweet Home Alabama the series. NY girl in the south. And that’s fine with me.
One question as a yank who lived for a time in Texas, which is only semi south:
Is “southern hospitality” genuinely empathetic, or merely mechanically polite?
I watched it. Pretty boring but Rachel Bilson got me through the episode. 
I reckon, I’ll give it another shot but, like I said, it’s boring and I don’t think I’m really the targeted demographic.
Haven’t seen it, but have a beef with it anyway: it’s set in Alabama and yet they use Oak Alley in all of their advertisements.
Oak Alley is one of the most famous and one of the most photographed mansions in the U.S. and has been used in movies and on TV for well over 60 years; Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Interview With the Vampire are two of the more famous but there are many more. It’s on the Mississippi River in Vacherie, Louisiana, nowhere near Alabama. It’s a very famous landmark and very much connected to the Mississippi River/Louisiana/Creole culture/etc…
For perspective this would be like setting a TV show in Maine and using The Breakers (a very famous Newport, RI mansion) in the ads or setting it in San Francisco and using the Carson Mansion. These are very famous landmarks, not just something only a couple of people will recognize.
A minor thing, but still bugs me enough to turn me off the series. Especially when Alabama has plenty of planter’s mansions that would suffice- Oakleigh, Gaineswood, Kirkwood, Sturdivant Hall, Arlington, etc… You wouldn’t even have to location shoot, just google them and maybe hire some stock footage done.
It had Rachel Bilson, was sweet, and a fun show. I’ll watch, if there’s nothing else on.
Definitely better than Ringer.
