Country Hearts

5.7 stars.

A former country music star owns stables and breeds horses. A thunderstorm comes and lightning hits the stables and some of it is destroyed by fire. His wife is absent, out and about taking care of her own affairs and agendas, probably for the benefit of the family. Their two daughters are part of a fledgling country band, which also includes various men. They are working hard to score a record deal. One man in the band has a crush on one sister, but she's more interested in a bar owner. The other sister is married to a man who owns a business and is planning on purchasing a winery. He wants her to focus more on business than the band and so they have marital problems. The plots jump back and forth between father and daughters and the band and mom and this and that. The theme is a Christian based one, as these people pray once in a while for God to lead them through their daily struggles. Meanwhile, where is mom, why is she hardly ever seen, will she return?

This is a jumbled mess of bad acting and half-hearted drivel. The strategy I'm detecting is the producers are leading the audience down a road to what appears to be a future tv series. I would not elect to watch this series, it does not interest me at all. Now I'm going to attempt to watch 'Country Hearts Christmas', and my aim is to quickly fast forward through most of it in order to clear space on my DVR.
