(<em>Monarch<\/em>\u2019s soundtrack is an odd mix of original songs and random covers.) The betrayals and backstabbing that comes with the dynastic territory are all there, but the temperature rarely rises in this tepid bath of very familiar suds.<\/p>\n<p>It might help if the show\u2019s big daddy, Albie Roman, weren\u2019t such a lump. Trace Adkins, an authentic country star, has presence on stage, but his guttural growl in dramatic scenes has the power of a half-baked potato. To be fair, almost no one\u2019s heart really seems to be into the old-school machinations of the plot, which includes the framing device of an apparent murder and cover-up that takes three months (and six episodes) to catch up to.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the twists you can see coming from the next state, most notably the arrival of a rising young star (Emma Melani) who arrives from Albuquerque with scheming stage mother (Martha Higareda) attached. More fun are the cameos by true country-music royalty including Martina McBride, Tanya Tucker, and especially good sport Shania Twain, who\u2019s asked to pretend that Dottie stole \u201cMan! I Feel Like a Woman!\u201d from her back in the day. Now there\u2019s a show I\u2019d like to see.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Monarch<\/em><\/strong><strong>, Series Premiere, Sunday, September 11, 8\/7c, Fox (regular time period Tuesday, 9\/8c, starting September 20) <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
