Only got a couple of episodes left!!

Any similar sort of cosy, comforting series out there?

I loved that series too! It’s a bit more biting comedy but Schitts Creek is amazing if you haven’t seen it.

Also sweet magnolias on Netflix might also be your cup of tea. Similar in style to VR

Chesapeake shores
Northern rescue

Burnt0utMum · 20/12/2021 19:40

Sweet Magnolias
Good Witch

RJnomore1 · 20/12/2021 19:41

Came on to say good witch

Think I’m going to try Chesapeake shores next. I need that level of wholesomeness to keep me going just now.

NMC2022 · 20/12/2021 19:46

Heartland is also good but quite horse heavy, lots of relationship/life stuff alongside it though

Guttedbuyer · 20/12/2021 19:47

Chesapeake shores

"This Is Us" - It's free on Prime. It is in exactly the same vein

RozHuntleysStump · 20/12/2021 22:43

When calls the heart.

BaconAndAvocado · 21/12/2021 09:02

I love This is Us!

Is Sweet Magnolias a series or a film? I've got in mind a film with Julia Roberts and Dolly Parton??

It was a film I think but is now a series. Don't think they're related. It ends on a real cliff hanger. Series 2 must be due!

Crinkle77 · 22/12/2021 22:35

I couldn't get on with Sweet Magnolias or Chesapeake Shores. I binged Pose and also watching Pretty Little Liars which I'm really enjoying both on I player.

BitterTits · 22/12/2021 22:37

This is Us is way better.

That's Steel Magnolias.
XelaM · 22/12/2021 23:10

Pretty Little Liars is entertaining for awhile and then becomes total nonsense and the ending is a total farce

JessieOh · 22/12/2021 23:13

Gilmore girls is equally cosy and comforting, if you haven't already seen it.

Gunpowder · 22/12/2021 23:13

I agree with Heartland. It’s very comforting in these edgy times.

RJnomore1 · 22/12/2021 23:14

The film was steel magnolias. I don’t know if the series is related at all?

Esspee · 22/12/2021 23:18

Chesapeake Shores is similar to Virgin River.
Heartland is also “family viewing”.

Frankly I found the first two cloyingly sweet and the artificial flowers drove me crazy.

XelaM · 23/12/2021 00:16

"Heartland" is great. My horse-mad daughter and I binge-watched it together.

"This is Us" and "Parenthood" were also similarly addictive family series

JacquelineCarlyle · 23/12/2021 08:02

Anne with an E is great (remake of Anne of Green Gables) - lovely, sweet & feel good.

I enjoyed Sweet Magnolia too & love This is Us.

Sweet magnolias is on netflix, look it up. Similar cheese level to virgin river Smile

I’ve been watching the magnificent Mrs Maisel on prime. That’s pretty good, I’m enjoying it. I also really enjoyed Superstore on Netflix.

JacquelineCarlyle · 23/12/2021 18:50

The Marvellous Mrs Maisel is such a good show! I love it!
