Nashville-Series Finale (Spoilers)

I stopped watching when it moved to CMT (I don't get that channel) but would love to know how they wrapped it up.

Its on W Channel up here in Canada and i dont get that one. I am waiting (not so) patiently until the season is on Netflix. I just found last season up there and binged it.

I loved the very end. I didn't delete it yet because I think I want to watch that part again.

I wanted Scarlett and Gunnar to end up together, otherwise I liked the ending.

I called the Rayna appearance before it happened.

I really enjoyed the show. Sorry to see it go.

We don't have cable so I had not caught up until we got Hulu earlier this year. It was a bit of a slog to get through after the show moved to CMT. Obviously they did not have the budget that ABC had. The biggest thing that was missing for me were the big star moments where Juliette or someone like Rayna would perform on a stage with a full backup before a large audience. It seemed all that was gone replaced by slow ballads in coffee house crowds. The songs were good but not something I cared to listen to more than once.

I thought CMT handled Rayna's exit really well with the drama that led up to her death but then she actually died from injuries in an accident. I never cared for her character that much but still found watching the mourning episodes difficult though necessary.

What I didn't like about CMT's version was what they did to Juliette. I hated the entire cult thing. She never interacted with anyone but poor Avery. The ending with them was pretty good but I'd have much rather had Juliette back on stage for more of the last couple of seasons.

One thing I had hoped for with Rayna's death was that I would never have to hear the term "Highway 65" ever again. Rayna was an absolutely terrible businesswoman. Finally in the last season someone put Deacon out of his misery and put the business in the background. The guy who ran Shiny New Records was a good villian but that all wrapped up a little too easily.

I was surprised they didn't put Deacon and Jesse together but now I'm happy they didn't. I like to think that he started seeing Ilse who I loved.

One thing that never worked for me on this show was how Maddie was supposed to be this great talent. Daphne has the far better voice. Everything they had Maddie sing just sounded like a teenager trying to sing rather than someone who was supposed to be so super talented.

The only real disappointment I have is that Will's story seemed to fizzle. I thought he had the most interesting story of all. As far as I know country music is the only genre without an openly gay singer. ABC did a good job with Will's character but CMT did not seem to know what to do with him.

I'm glad I stuck with the show. It was a unique pitch set in Nashville versus Hollywood, had many interesting characters and really took us through an alcoholic's road to recovery and what it cost him. The music was usually great. I hope we hear these actor/singers perform more in the future.

I loved the ending, too -- happy endings for so many characters. I like happy endings!

Anyone else remember Charles Easton from Whose Line Is it Anyway? Took me forever to figure out why he looked familiar!

So dh and I just binged the last three episodes. Here I am 6 tissues later...I loved the end. I’d watch the last 5 minutes over and over...

There was a lot I really liked about the last few seasons. I was not so much a fan of the PTSD guy and Juliette’s storylines got a little crazy, both with the church stuff and the cult, but other than that I enjoyed it.

I was kind of glad to see Deacon have some flirtation with someone other than Jessie. She was his first romance since Rayna. He needed to test the waters more. I like Ilse better for him.



I still remember that very first season when he loved her so much and Avery was so awful to her.

Everyone coming on the stage for that final song and then talking to the audience—so moving. I’m really going to miss this show. With all the crap that’s out there, I’ll never understand why this show struggled.

I didn't love the final episode .. it just seemed predicatable to me. But I did LOVE the last 5 minutes. I did get teary. Especially listening to Callie Khouri. Who has a special place in my heart because of her extreme kindness to one of my dearest friends as she went through one of the most difficult years anyone could have. I watched Nashville because of her and others on the show, and I am glad I did because it was a great show.

Because I was out of town I only just now caught up on the last 2 epidsodes on HULU. Oh man the tears with the last 5 minutes. That's how you end a series. I loved the showing of the support staff, the crew etc.

While a somewhat predictable wrap up I was expecting something a lot more darker with the Twig. I really felt it was becoming a "13 reasons why" story line in their treatment of him so I was surprised he didn't take his life.
