Nashville Series 4 Episode 3 Review

The latest from our reviewers...

Did you see Nashville Series 4 Episode 3? Here's the latest from our top team of Nashville reviewers!

Shelly Noble

Episode 3 started with a hint of 3 men and a baby this week, with poor little Cadence all out of sorts now her mum has flown the coop again. Despite a brief respite last week, Juliette is back on tour and back to her wild ways, but claiming she doesn't give a damn about her bad reputation......so why does she seem to struggle so much with including her family in her life? Luke offered her some well meaning advice this week, advising against letting strangers and boozy days out fill the space where her family could be, and it seemed to hit home, but I have a feeling next week will see more of the same.

Scarlett and Deacon faced a tough decision this week too, being told that Beverley may never recover, and both of them played this excellently, arguing for and against keeping her on life support. Deacon continues to feel the weight of the responsibility for her condition.

And this week saw the return of a very remorseful and downtrodden Teddy, summing up the theme of the week perfectly - actions have consequences. My only criticism is that for a show set largely in Nashville, surrounding the lives of musicians and songwriters, there really hasn't been much music in the first couple of episodes, and I hope that we see this rectified soon!

Steven Wilshaw

We start with Scarlett having to make a devastating decision after Beverley's relapse. Daphne finally cracks and gets suspended for fighting.  Rayna calls in Teddy, who finally gets to see his girls, which leads to a heartbreaking confrontation.  Apologies were made, Teddy then decides to change his plea to guilty, telling his girls "actions have consequences".

Juliette is hiding away, which ends up going away for a few days of fun, AND a heart to heart with Luke Wheeler.  But while partying, Avery sick of being ignored, puts custody wheels in motion.  Nice to see Will getting a wake up call from Kevin's friend Jill.  I hope we see him back behind the mic very soon...he'll find his voice again I'm sure!   

Scarlett's song while wrestling with her choice about turning Beverley's life support off was beautiful.  Which was how the episode closed, played out by another tearjerker from Julliette.  A really sad episode this week with some great performances from the cast....especially Charles Esten and Clare Bowen.
