Hart of Dixie (2011)
Having watched two seasons on Fox Germany
If there were a way to simply add 'right on' to someone else's review, I'd do that for kols from United States, whose post of 24 February 2014 speaks largely for me, even if it is a bit more positive than I'd be. I found this show charming at first, but the flaws came to outweigh the virtues. The flaws are as described by kols, so I needn't rehash them.
After 40+ episodes, I think I've had enough. The only two characters who continue to interest me are Wade and Lemon, as they are the only ones who have shown any growth. The reviewer who said everybody acts as if they were still in high school pretty much hit the nail on the head: by the end of Season 2 Wade and Lemon seemed to be trying at least to transcend their limitations, while everyone else was just playing musical partners.
Lewis (2006)
If you liked Morse...
...you'll like Lewis. It has the same virtues: excellent writing and production values, good stories, engaging characters portrayed by first-rate actors--and Oxford.
I should note that I've only got as far as Series 3 to this point, so it's possible I'll change my mind later on, if the show doesn't maintain its quality. But Morse did, through more than 30 episodes of 90+ minutes each--so why shouldn't Lewis? Indeed it's at least possible that when all is said and done I might decide I like it even better than Morse, which I certainly didn't expect when I started watching the first episode of the first series.
I add finally that my only access to this series is on DVD and I've bought the first seven series. I'll buy more if there are more. So I'm putting my money where my mouth is.
