Anyone watching this, it appeared on Netflix this week, 3 seasons, I'm already on season 2, it's similar to Virgin River and that sort of thing, small scenic town, lots of angst and a handsome man.

It is completely addictive! Easy watching mush really but perfect for autumn. Love it that Luke from Gilmore Girls is in it!

Lennox78 · 05/10/2025 22:53

Plus Cal is Tristan from Gilmore Girls (as well as Charlie Todd from Dawsons Creek) I love it! The scenery is amazing. It also has Lily and Charmaine from Virgin River.
ps I hate the pillock that is Andrew and his creepy slip on shoes! I would never make a legitimate reviewer..

I've just started season 3 and love it.

I spotted this today and binged a few episodes too. Perfect escapism with Chad MM from One tree hill as well as GG & Dawson’s creek. Luke! And I also spotted Charmaine as the police/paramedic - took a moment as not pregnant 😂 it’s very Virgin River/Hart of Dixie- style easy watching.

baloobs · 05/10/2025 23:14

Watching it right now! Some of the cast is from virgin river haha!

Lennox78 · 05/10/2025 23:14

yes! Plus Charmaine’s ex husband is the evil cop from season one of Reacher. She has tragic taste in men

mumonthehill · 06/10/2025 08:55

Cal/ Tristan has just blown my mind!!!! Did not recognise him at all!!

RedRiverShore5 · 06/10/2025 21:39

I'm on season 3 now, and have been quite fascinated with Cal's hair, it doesn't seem to move and he had that strange strand hanging down some of the time which I found a bit distracting.

Im on episode 2 but not sure what to make of it so far. Im not warming to Maggie yet and her 'friend' has been a bit mean making a few snide comments to her.

Lennox78 · 08/10/2025 19:35

Maggie grows on you.. or she did me! Does appear a bit standoffish/ stroppy initially but now I think she ought to settle down in Sullivans Creek with Cal and join the search/ rescue crew.. and live happily ever after. If that doesn’t happen please don’t tell me as am only on season one episode 9!

Nanamuffin · 08/10/2025 19:46

I started this too. Weirdly still watching it but some of the acting is awful! I love virgin river though

Lennox78 · 08/10/2025 19:58

I struggled to place Lily initially as she is very “glam” as Maggies mum but obviously not so much in Virgin River

RedRiverShore5 · 08/10/2025 20:58

I've finished it now, though I did have a bad cold so didn't do much else and it was nice easy watching. Hopefully series 4 will be on next year.

I watched the lot - dreadful, loved it. Cal looks like Noel Edmonds with all the hair though.

Just finished season 3 today, really enjoyed it. Also thought the same thing about Cal’s hair - that it never moves. I think he must have his own hairstylist on set at all times!

ForgetTheTomatoes · 14/10/2025 21:35

I have just started season 2 and could not believe how Chad Michael Murray has aged so beautifully. There does seem to be a crossover with actors from Gilmore Girls and Virgin River. I fell off VR it just got ridiculous. However, I watched GG when it first aired and loved it.

I do feel Sully is just Luke in a different setting including the baseball cap. @Lennox78 I also struggled to place Lily from VR too. As you say, the beautiful coiffed hair and makeup threw me.

cloudtreecarpet · 20/10/2025 20:11

I am a big Virgin River fan and have got into this too, although it's not as good as VR in my opinion.
I found it hilarious that Maggie has (dyed?) red hair, is also a medical professional who can turn her hand to literally any medical emergency and runs very seriously through the woods. All very Mel!

But I don't like the way she treats Andrew & the way she is low key cheating on him while carrying his baby (am on Season 2).

I guessed the Sully/Lola thing early doors!

It's rubbish and the scenery doesn't quite match up to VR but it's highly addictive!

LushLemonTart · 01/11/2025 15:03

Arghh just started watching. Didn't realise this was a spoiler thread 🙈

It's a bit twee but I watched Sweet magnolias so can cope. I used to cringe watching that but couldn't stop 🤣

Caiti19 · 14/11/2025 00:57

Just started watching. My hopes are dashed. Anyone else think it's actual blatant plagiarism of Virgin River? Every bloody character can be mapped to one in Virgin River Series 1, to the point where it's turning me off it - including the man raising the son alone. Virgin River had far better charisma and chemistry between Jack and Mel than these two planks of wood. Think I'm quiting it here after 2.5 episodes. Boo.

It's written by the same person, both were originally books, & she writes the screenplay too I think.
Guess she just found a formula and stuck to it.

Highlighta · 14/11/2025 07:02

Is season 3 new? I have watched this but am not sure now how many seasons there were.

It was dreadful 😂 But I just had to keep watching and it really doesn't get any better. I have also watched Virgin River, and this is just a VR #2, equally as bad.

It is one of those light shows, it can be on in the background and you can doom scroll at the same time, and still know exactly what is happening.

Makes sense it's the same person behind both. I felt like I was being played. The actress who played Mel was so so good, I had empathy from episode 1 of VR. Probably just as well S.C. didn't draw me in. I need to be spending my evenings organising Christmas. 😆

blobby10 · 27/11/2025 13:40

I've just started watching SC and am now at the start of S2 (just finished the hurricane episode) - never seen VR but was an avid GG fan and agree with an earlier post saying how similar Sully was to Luke in GG.

I think what has interested me the most is that I went to Halifax NS in 2018 for a week and rather fell in love with the surrounding area which is very pretty. And this show is just like going back there Grin
