‘Virgin River’ Netflix Series Review

Virgin River

Netflix

I had put off watching Virgin River because I thought it was going to be another one of these small-town, feel-good shows with not much substance.  And it’s not that I’m above that, see Sweet Magnolias.  It’s just I haven’t been in the mood for that. 

I was pleasantly surprised to find out there is a solid cast and more than meets the eye.  Yes, it’s the typical story of a big-city girl who moves to a small town and finds herself.  But the cast of characters in the small town have more to them, and the storyline isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, there’s some reality baked in. 

I also appreciated the Pacific Northwest location, instead of the typical south, a la Doc Hollywood and Hart of Dixie.
