    I love Dolly Parton! Not so much this series of story's though. Not unless you want to be utterly depressed.

    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.

    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.

    Parton’s Madea-like role in the “Jolene” episode is a big part of its appeal. ... Heartstrings does not suck. Know what would make it suck even less? More Dolly.
