Sullivan's Crossing

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...

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).

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!

Doctors are Godlike. Surgeons are Zeus like neurosurgeons are more godlike than Zeus. Maggie is not showing the temperament or confidence of a neurosurgeon, and is too young to have been through the many rigorous years necessary to become a neurosurgeon. I'm on episode six, and I find that to be the biggest flaw.

A real neurosurgeon would have sloughed off all of the issues associated with the lawsuit, and left them to the lawyers. Neuro urges are probably sued 2 to 3 times a year. And the neurosurgeon would not likely be in the ER, and would not flip between patients. Still, as a soap opera, Maggie is attractive and lovable.

Was excited for this to air.. Finally! After seeing previews & clips,once it premiered in Canada.

When a few side characters from a more popular series are in it,usually that means they are trying to boost it.. For views,ratings & that is unfortunate.

Honestly it moves very slow & nothing like a series that says alot,but also leaves you hanging in a cryptic fashion.. Ever have a friend that likes to talk & talk,but never gets really to a point or asks for prayers on social media yet won't say why & leaves you hanging in their conclusions? Like that!

Series today unlike years back milk things to death,with many parts & seasons,where it impacts a viewers interest.. Where unlike years back you're not as excited,to see what happens next week-quality cliffhangers are one thing-unlike how it's approached now.

What could of helped,again.. Don't stretch things out,air two episodes or drop all episodes at once.

Give us a few milk bones of closure,resolve,ect.. It won't ruin anything enough,for a viewer to not return.

So far the lead female or any character,isn't likeable enough currently but will give it another chance.

I have not read any book based on this,unsure if that would make a difference? Regardless it's lackluster in several aspects,maybe a bad script or certain actors to their acting but somethings a miss.

Definitely isn't a Virgin River feel,but also think it's trying to playoff in a similar vibe.. So it lacks(loosely)originality or is the Wish version,therefore leaves true fans dissatisfied.

Can't say the scenery or anything is great enough yet,but again will be following up if can get into the series more.

Edit- I watched all 10 episodes even a few a couple times for perspective,but honestly my original review remains it really lacks & feel partly it's due to several(main)actors.

Feel Maggie comes across boring,monotone in talking & lacks emotion.

Sully comes across grumpy & not real great,maybe Maggie inherited his personality.

Even when the show had emergency moments it felt cartoon-ish in approach,easily resolved & no real emotion attached to care.

Hope now that Maggie,got her court stuff resolved.. We get more personality,drama,laughter,love & so forth.

Also maybe Sully can improve,once he confronts his past ghosts.

Will Cal return or not,his role was decent.. Far as the rest of the characters,you don't remember them enough to care & if you do it's rather brief like(when Frank got shot)because of other moments.
