Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz This is a soap opera that even people who hate soap operas can fall for. Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Anna Murray New Zealand Herald [A] charming slice of small town drama. Jan 15, 2020 Full Review Esme Mazzeo Tell-Tale TV Virgin River proves that drama can be emotional without being emotionally manipulative. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 13, 2019 Full Review Joel Keller Decider If you sometimes tune into feel-good Hallmark shows to just switch off and feel cozy for a little while, Virgin River will help you do that. It's well-acted and well-written for this kind of show. Dec 10, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Marc D I find this show rather formulaic, with simplistic plot lines, and stagnant characters. Yes, they have some trauma in their backgrounds that plays a role in their decision making processes; but you can still size that up fairly quickly. The scenery is pretty, and the leads are good looking. so if you don't expect much, at least you have that. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/25/24 Full Review Andra Easy and enjoyable to watch. There's such a cosy atmosphere that makes you feel that ideal communities exist and people are still good. I like that the whole show, although too soapy for some, focuses on community support and gives the viewers a sense of security and comfort. If Virgin River was a real place, I WOULD MOVE THERE RIGHTAWAY!!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Ron G I watch this mainly because my wife likes it, but for me it's too schmaltzy. There is never a scene without a smooch and an "I love you", along with an excess of nosiness disguised as caring about the other person when they are all really self-absorbed narcissists desperate to turn the conversation to themselves and their own neediness. Everyone has an unrealistic drama going on in their lives. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review JB The show flows nicely with a nice cast. However, the show jumped the shark from the first episode and I'm reminded of it every show. Virgin River is surrounded by what look like 5,000 foot mountains and no one has any trouble making a perfect cell phone call which is amazing considering there isn't a single cell tower on any of the mountains. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/23 Full Review SkyRo P This show is extremely captivating, grabs your attention, and makes you feel like you want to be part of this small town Mel is the perfect Casting in the perfect actress to play this part, her character development, and her character in general. It's such a phenomenal fit. It's so amazing to see hope, played by Annette O'Toole back on the screen, because even though her character is annoying, that's what she's created to be. Vernon and Jack are questionable whether or not you want to like them or not, but eventually you start to feel these characters and you start to feel the development. Preacher is so phenomenal and so is everybody else that is part of this show. I highly recommend checking out the show I highly recommend getting your foot in the door of Virgin River. Because you will not regret watching this show. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review Madalina T A nice soap opera. Very peaceful for your mind and heart.
