I get the following item back from my django-rest-framework api call:

```
services = "['service1', 'service2', 'service3']"

```

I want `services = ['service1', 'service2', 'service3']`

In my JavaScript I tried `services = JSON.parse(services)`
- didn't do anything, also tried `$.parseJSON(services)`.

In my serializers I have tried the setting services as `ListField`, also tried `JSONSerializerField()`

```
class JSONSerializerField(serializers.Field):
    # Adapted from http://stackoverflow.com/a/28200902
    def to_internal_value(self, data):
        return json.loads(data)

    def to_representation(self, value):
        return value

```
