TV review - "Heart of Dixie" pilot (2011) ***

Some of this felt clunky - was the voice over added in post production? I don't quit buy Rachel Bilson as a heart surgeon. The supervisor going "you've got to work on your heart" felt very on the nose. But the basics are strong - New York City gal in Alabama is a good strong fish out of water concept, it feels novel to have a show set in Alabama, good idea to have a regular black character,some solid villains (jealous blonde, nasty doctor), and the love triangle is very strong - the girl plus bad boy and decent guy who's engaged.
