Nashville S1-6
Watch all six seasons of this acclaimed country music saga. It focuses on two divas: Juliette (Hayden Panettiere), the young up and comer, and Rayna (Connie Britton), once a megastar who’s now struggling to find her place in the industry.
Nashville has 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus for the first season says it “promotes catchy pop-western tunes and plays to non-fans of the genre with its sharp atmosphere and its stellar narratives.”
The Observer says, “The original tenor of the series is one of the things that made it so appealing in the first place. Add to this that the tempo of the narrative is ideal, and episodes never drag.”
If you’ve never indulged in Nashville before, now is the time, since all six seasons are ready to stream in an epic musical binge-watch session on Showmax.
