Carry On

Virgin River's first episode establishes a charming and inviting world from the very beginning. The small town's natural beauty is a highlight, making it an instantly appealing setting for the unfolding drama. The episode introduces us to Melinda "Mel" Monroe, who arrives seeking a fresh start. We learn about her past struggles, hinting at a deeper story waiting to be explored.

Mel's interactions with the locals, including Jack Sheridan and Doc Mullins, spark both warmth and intrigue. The show effectively hints at the complex relationships and underlying tensions that will shape the series. While the episode lays the groundwork for the overarching plot, it keeps the specific details shrouded in mystery, making me eager to discover what lies ahead for these characters.

Overall, "Carry On" is a solid introduction to Virgin River. The visually stunning location, coupled with engaging characters and a captivating premise, promises a heartwarming and enjoyable viewing experience.

If you've seen Hart Of Dixie you've pretty much seen this show. Big city doctor moves to a small town to join a practice with the same old grouchy doctor that doesn't want her. She gets stranded in her car coming into town. Moves into a crappy place to stay. One single bar in town that everyone goes to...she falls for the lone bartender...

Didn't really know what this show was about outside of it having similarities with Hart of Dixie. Saw Annette O'Toole was part of the cast after an interview. Right off the back you see a character with some major pain but you don't know what it is. Alexandra Breckenridge plays Melinda Monroe a nurse coming to Virgin River to work for a Dr who may not agree but needs assistance. Martin Henderson plays Jack Sheridan a bar/restaurant owner who has an obvious interest in Melinda. We slowly get hints of Melinda's trauma but just enough to keep us hooked. The filming locations are gorgeous and definitely make this town somewhere I'd like to visit. Small town with a big heart. I'm excited to see where this show goes.

I started to watch this and just could not stop. cannot wait for next series. I only hope that I don't have to wait too long as you forget about it, but I LOVED it just like I did Highlander
