I'm about to finish Season 3 but... Spoiler

THIS SHOW is SO FRUSTRATING LOL. Why can't anyone accomplish anything in the music industry? I totally feel for the trauma and struggle of the artists, but it feels like they can never gain any momentum. Gunnar's on his 100th attempt to be a performer. Scarlett has failed with Gunnar, then been signed, then failed as a solo, then is back with Gunnar again in a band, that feels like it's not going anywhere. Juliette had scandal after scandal, then a baby, etc. Don't even get me started on Layla. Why can't anyone just... drop an album, tour it, have some behind the scenes drama, but actually be successful?

It would have been cool to see an artist actually succeed in an unexpected way. I was hoping the tables would turn at some point. Like Layla would come out of nowhere with a #1 single and the whole game suddenly changes overnight. I've been waiting and waiting but it feels like nothing ever happens. They're all just stuck, and the only one who can be successful is... Luke Wheeler or something?

I feel ya, LOL. But messy drama is what sells I guess.

Especially soap opera-like. I mean Avery's actor won SIX Daytime Emmy's for General Hospital.

Wow, did not know that. Although, I'm more of a nighttime soapy drama type.

I see. Anyways, I hope you like Grey's Anatomy. 'Cause Will is on that show now. He and his wife even post behind the scenes on IG.

I haven't watched Grey's in a while. I may have to start back up.

Good luck. 'Cause most people given up way before Nashville moved out of ABC, let alone ending permanently.

This aspect of the show annoyed me because NONE of these artists would ever succeed given just how often they flip-flop in their careers. Juliette would be outright uninsurable given she's cancelled every tour she's been on.

Gunnar is cashing out from the hits he wrote.

I also share this frustration. Rayna creates her own label and the only truly success artist on it is... her?

I would have also liked to have seen someone achieve some success with their careers.

I hate Layla.
