New York doctor Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) has reached a crossroads in her life when she decides to accept an offer from a stranger to work with him at his practice in Alabama. When she arrives in town, she discovers that the man has died and left her his half of the practice in his will, something that doesn't exactly make her new partner happy. Despite the shock of Southern life and some less-than-hospitable town folk, Zoe decides to give her new life a chance and discovers a new side of herself in the process.

Critics Consensus

It's got a solid cast, but Hart of Dixie is unfortunately rife with paper-thin characters and illogical plotting.

From the deepest depths of my soul, I promise you that I have no idea who I want together on this show - I honestly like everyone - and that, my friends, is exhausting. Go to Full Review Erin Strecker Entertainment Weekly Oct 17, 2018
Parts of the show get a bit schmaltzy, and Hart's excessive voice-overs are a little too Grey's Anatomy, but overall, I think this could definitely earn a place on my Monday-night DVR. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com Oct 16, 2018
"Dixie" can be satisfying in an old-fashioned way. I wouldn't have shed a tear if [it was] canceled but...There's room for improvement here. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Salt Lake Tribune Mar 24, 2020
Oh, "Hart of Dixie" isn't awful... But it's totally derivative and lacks the kind of heart that made shows like "Gilmore Girls" and "Everwood" so great. Go to Full Review Matt Richenthal TV Fanatic Mar 24, 2020

The cast, meanwhile, is simply phenomenal. It's my favorite of any new show this fall. Go to Full Review Lindsey Romain Nerdist Nov 13, 2018
It's basically a warm blanket in the form of a TV series. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

The cringey Southern stereotypes by a far-left hack were truly insulting. See more Lynn A @RT47234848 Oct 8, 2023 Loved it... cross between Glee and Virgin River. If you love feel good story lines, this one's for you! See more Crystal C @RT87498601 Jul 12, 2023 This is one of those shows that I wish they wouldn't have stopped making. The first season of this show is binge-worthy and the chemistry between the show's characters is clearly there. There are so many surprises throughout this season including the big Lemon & George wedding! See more Read all reviews
