Sullivan's crossing

What a horrible piece of writing, Totally ridiculous.

A half inch drill bit in the 'so called wilderness' what a joke.

The acting is blah, the story is lame.

Half the episodes are just the same scenic drone shots of Nova Scotia. We watched 2 episodes hoping it would get better, but it just got worse, we fast forwarded to the rock climbing part, and rescue, what a joke.

I am running out of bad stuff to say, so I did like the old Indian guy, the rest of the cast was so stereo typed, the dialog so predictable, it was insulting. And Netflix advertises it as the #2 watched series, what a joke. There are so many better things to watch than wasting your time on this piece of junk.

The scenery is a 10/10. This is a beautiful show to watch for the natural scenery.

I like the storyline. Maggie is a very smart and dynamic human. I loved watching her story. Sully is complex and the actor plays the broken soul with a lot of realistic emotion.

Lost one star because sometimes I just enjoy watching a story without the far fetched drama sprinkles tossed in, but I know the drama is needed to keep the audience intrigued.

I really hope a season two comes - I want Maggie and Sully to have an honest conversation, I want Maggie and Cal to have a love story, I really want to see Edna and Frank and their hopeful love story, and honestly I want to know what's going to happen with Lola, Sydney, Rob and Jackson (considering they're the ones all the "extra and out there" drama seems to come from).

If you like Virgin River you'll love Sullivan's Crossing.

Plotlines are predictable but the character development has come a long way from the beginning. Sully is a character you can really pull for. Morgan Kohan is really settling in to the leading role. Being able to lean on veteran actors like Tom Jackson, Scott Patterson and Chad Michael Murray has given her time to lean in to her character and Maggie has become relatable and warm, something not there at the start.

If you love the books you may not embrace the differences but that's not unusual. Nice scenery of the Canadian Maritimes...

BTW DON'T read the lone critic review unless you want to laugh. Not sure what show they think they're reviewing but Nova Scotia looks nothing like the Rocky Mountains...

Based books by the same author as Virgin River, this has exactly the same template. Big city girl moves to a small town to escape her problems, drama ensues with some romantic tension between main character and handsome local. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Each episode. If you enjoy that formula, you'll probably really enjoy this show. It's campy and soapy, and generally a cute formulaic romance drama.

A note though, calling this "Canadian" is being generous. It's supposed to be set in a Canadian maritime town, yet most of the characters have obviously very American accents and don't sound like locals in Nova Scotia would sound at all. They also seem to have ignored the fact that culture and laws are markedly different in Canada than in the US, and consistently make references that aren't accurate for Canada. If you want something authentically Canadian, this won't do it for you.

I love the storyline of the show, I think it has great potential to grow and go far without a doubt. The first episode was a little slow (understandable while getting to know the characters), but my advice to anyone watching it is to keep going because there is a LOT of depth and background to all the characters and their storylines! I've been watching it every week as soon as it comes out. It gives me Virgin River vibes with the family history, love story, some suspenseful moments. The cast is great and I LOVE seeing Scott Patterson and Chad Michael Murray back on the screen, they absolutely blow these roles out of the park and I have been a huge fan of them for years! As a newer actress, Morgan does amazing at playing the role of Maggie and ensuring the audience feels and understands what she's feeling. As a Canadian I love that it's filmed in Canada and touches on Canadian history, not many shows have done that and done it so incredibly well. I think this show will be a really big hit with more seasons to come, and I look forward to continuing to watch!
