Hart of Dixie (The CW) - Television Review



Summer Roberts Rachel Bilson is back on television in The CW's new Hart of Dixie!

Dr. Zoe Hart graduated at the top of her class and was on her way to become a successful cardiothoracic surgeon until her plan goes awry and she loses both her boyfriend and career. In what she calls her "purgatory", the young doctor with absolutely not bedside manner moves to Bluebell, Alabama.

Rachel Bilson is at her cute and adorable best, and it is clear that the role of Zoe Hart was entirely written for her. But Bilson isn't the only star in this show, the supporting cast, which consists of Friday Night Light's Scott Porter and My Generation's Jaime King is also full of personalities, and truly makes the pilot episode one heartwarming experience.

Like its sister series Gossip Girl, the show features a flawless musical score, with soft rock and country tunes that match the setting entirely. The dialogue is also sharply written, with many witty humor and well-thought out one-liners that matches up to what normally comes out of Blair Waldorf's mouth.

All in all, the episode was just full of heart (no pun intended), and hands down one of the best new shows on television this season. Rachel Bilson is a familiar face on television that is surely welcomed, and Hart of Dixie has earned itself a season pass on my iTunes.

Hart of Dixie premieres Monday September 26 at 9/8c on The CW.
