📺 A heartwarming show that finds value in simplicity. Virgin River follows Melinda “Mel” Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge), a nurse practitioner and midwife who takes a job in the remote town of Virgin River in an attempt to make a fresh start and escape from her painful past. She quickly becomes entangled in the lives of the quirky residents — including the charming Jack (Martin Henderson) — and faces some unexpected challenges. The show’s sixth season provides more dramatic story lines that test friendship, love, and family ties.

Tiptoeing around the spoilers… After a 15-month wait, season six dazzles viewers with a long-awaited wedding, a life-altering trial, family reunions, health troubles, pregnancies, and a whole lot of small-town chaos. We’re seeing a more intense narrative here than in the previous seasons, with a balance between heartwarming moments and higher stakes for the characters.
This is a show that helps you unwind. The narrative is fairly run-of-the-mill, mimicking the reality of a small town where people live simply and everyone knows everyone. Virgin River isn’t for times when you’re looking for an eventful, edge-of-your-seat kind of watch. It’s a Hallmark-esque watch that provides comfort with calm, realistic conflicts.
WHERE TO WATCH- You can watch the series on Netflix or catch the season 6 trailer on YouTube (runtime: 1:47).
