Dolly Parton's Heartstrings — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

As unique as Dolly herself, Heartstrings' many tales of heartache and love don't always play, but strong performances and a sense of tension should be enough for fans of music and melodramaalike.

Heartstrings is an acquired taste, it's true. But [Dolly] Parton herself is a universally adored figure that you wish were available to call you sugar and sing you a lullaby as you softly cry yourself to sleep for the 280th time this year. Go to Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian 11/24/2019

What the scripts lack, the actors try to make up for with wry looks, lip-biting and - if trying to be sexy - constant gentle undulation. But everything is terrible, and not even bad enough to be good. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times 11/22/2019

For fans of Parton, this is a much-watch and for anyone needing a good cry, I highly recommend grabbing a glass of red wine, curling up with a warm blanket, and hitting play. Go to Full Review Christopher James AwardsCircuit.com 01/13/2020

Cassie D 05/02/2024 Overall, an enjoyable series of mini-movies. These are morality tales with a side of humor, drama and good music. Some of the stories are better than others--Jolene is my favorite. Enjoy! See more 03/15/2020 Love it want a seson 2 See more 02/13/2020 This show took me on an emotional roller coaster. It made me fall in love with Dolly all over again. See more 01/14/2020 Beautiful movies of Dolly's Parton songs amazing story telling. Waiting for Season 2 See more 12/29/2019 Honestly too contrived and obvious. Nothing was left to the imagination. See more 12/29/2019 I loved most of the stories. It's definitely the type of show you have to be in the mood for; it is called "Heartstrings" after all. The style and acting remind me of a show or movie you'd see on the Lifetime or the Hallmark channels. Overall, was cute, especially if you're a Dolly Parton fan like I am. See more Read all reviews
