Are you looking for your next Netflix series? I don’t know about you, but I always have a hard time deciding what to watch next when I finish a series on Netflix. Sometimes the shows Netflix suggests you watch next are busts, but other times they really are hits. A few years back I had finished a series, and Netflix suggested\u00a0Hart of Dixie.\u00a0<\/em>This is one of the times that Netflix was really\u00a0spot on with their suggestion.<\/p>\n

Hart of Dixie<\/em> aired on the CW station. It was a romantic comedy\/drama show that aired for four seasons. The first episode\u00a0starts\u00a0at a medical school graduation where we meet the main character, Zoey Hart. Zoey meets this old man who tells her if she ever needs a job, that she is more then welcome to join his practice in Bluebell, Alabama.\u00a0\u00a0However, Zoey really wants to be a cardio-thoracic surgeon like her dad and loves her New York lifestyle. Her dreams come crashing down, and she decides to take the old man up on his offer. She moves down to Bluebell, Alabama.<\/p>\n

As soon as Zoey gets to Bluebell, she realizes that she doesn’t really fit in. The old man who offered her the job had died.\u00a0The other doctor, Brick, seems to hate her, and his daughter, Lemon, see Zoey as a threat and treats her as such. There is a cute lawyer, George, who she is interested in, but soon finds out that he is dating Lemon.\u00a0 Her only friends are the nurse at the practice, the nurse’s niece, and a former football player who just happens to be the mayor, Lavon.\u00a0 Lavon allows her to live in his guest house, but she has to put up with Wade, another tenant\u00a0who she finds annoying but attractive.<\/p>\n

After a disastrous\u00a0first week in Bluebell, Zoey is ready to leave and head back to New York. As she is getting ready to leave, she finds out that the old man has left here half of the practice because he was her biological father. She decides to stay because the life she knew in New York was not really what she thought it was.\u00a0 Over the next several episodes she learns more about her family and slowly adjusts to life in Bluebell.<\/p>\n

Since Zoey is a New Yorker, there are interesting medical situations she finds herself in. In one of the first episodes, a kid comes in with a snakebite. She isn’t sure what type of snake bite him and goes in search of the snake. As a result, she ends up getting bitten by the same copperhead. Brick riducles her about this because he knew based on the old house the kid got bite in that it had to have been a copperhead.\u00a0 Another time tells a patient that he is dying of this rare disease, but in reality, he only has a tick bite.\u00a0 She slowly learns about ailments that seem to plague a small town.<\/p>\n

She also runs into unusual social interacts in her new home. Lavon helps her adjust to her new lifestyle. Lavon invites her to take part in local activities like the Founder’s Day parade. Over time, she learns she needs to take part in local festivals and competitions to learn how to relate to her patients.\u00a0 \u00a0She is a little stubborn\u00a0about some of these changes, like for example who will cut her hair and refusing to make her own gumbo. Over the series, she becomes more and more at home in Bluebell.<\/p>\n

So there are many things that I love about\u00a0Hart of Dixie.<\/em> First, it is enjoyable watching Zoey transition from the fast pace New York lifestyle to the slower more laid back life in Bluebell. It reminds me of the small town life I remember growing up.\u00a0 Secondly, it is a medical show like\u00a0House\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Grey’s Anatomy,\u00a0<\/em>but it isn’t as depressing or predictable.\u00a0 House <\/em>and\u00a0Grey’s Anatomy,\u00a0<\/em>seems to follow the same format every episode where there is a patient who needs help, they almost die, they are healed with a little bit of drama between doctors thrown in.\u00a0 Hart of Dixie<\/i>\u00a0is typically upbeat and there are storylines with many of the characters that are unrelated to medicine. Each episode is about 40-45 minutes long, but it is so easy to sit down and watch several episodes in one day\u00a0 I also love the characters. Even the characters I hated at the beginning of the series, I start to enjoy their development as the series progresses. It is also fun trying to figure out who Zoey will end up with. Will it be Wade, George, or some other handsome stranger?<\/p>\n

The set of Hart of Dixie<\/em>\u00a0is very bright and colorful. It looks like a southern wonderland. It’s like if you take all of the southern bridal magazines you see in the checkout line at Micheals and combined different aspects to make the most perfect and cute set. Lemon and Annabeth wear the cutest most colorful clothes which contrast well with Zoey’s contemporary New York style. The playlist of the series is amazing. I also found many great songs on the show like this one:<\/p>\n
