Now more than ever, we can all use more feel-good shows in our lives which is why every year fans countdown the days until their return to the picturesque town of Virgin River to enjoy new seasons of Netflix's beloved romantic drama. Inspired by the book series from author Robyn Carr, Virgin River tells the story of nurse practitioner Melinda Monroe, who moves from Los Angeles to a remote Northern California town looking for a fresh start. While Mel was simply looking for a fresh start somewhere far away from her old life, she ended up finding so much more. At its heart, the show is about love, family, and community, but that doesn't mean the show doesn't also know how to also keep fans engaged with dramatic and unexpected plot twists. While the drama definitely helps give fans plenty to discuss with one another, it's the feel-good stories, picturesque backdrop of the show, and lovable characters that keep them coming back season after season. With all the craziness going on in the world, there's truly nothing better than being able to cozy up with your favorite snacks and escape to Virgin River to catch up Mel, Jack, and the rest of the town's amazing community.
