Season 1 Review:
Thanks to some deft writing and the heartfelt performances by the lead ensemble players, “Jolene” takes some surprising yet authentic turns. ... With immaculate, polished, freshly varnished sets (including double matte framed portraits on the walls) and some conveniently tidy plot resolutions, “These Old Bones” is at times a glossy and overly sentimental memory piece, but it’s in keeping with Miss Dolly’s take on the world: A lot more sunlight than twilight.

Season 1 Review:
["These Old Bones" is] a bit pat, and it’s definitely too long, but Turner is warm and peppery, Goodwin is likable, and by end of it, I admit it -- I was reaching for the tissues. ... More interesting, however, is “Jolene,” which isn’t exactly a folksy, feel-good number.

Season 1 Review:
I was sugar-shocked by the concentrated schmaltz rubbed across my face from the very first frames. ... It is . . . not for everyone. But it is for a lot of people, mainly people who just want to visualize better times and envision a world where women respect women who prefer bare midriffs and very low-cut tops and everybody is full of God-light.

Season 1 Review:
What none of [the episodes] has – not even Jolene, which actually has Dolly in it playing the owner of a juke joint who takes a young, motherless singer under her wing – is a scintilla of the wit, energy, humour, camp, glory or fizz of Parton. Each one is a squeeze of pure schmaltz from an industrial tube of the stuff.
