Virgin River is such a feeble attempt at drama it qualifies as so bad it’s good. The acting is ok but the plot lines are straight out of soap operas and episodes of Dynasty. The characters are one dimensional and the “mysteries” have all the tension of Matlock and Murder She Wrote episodes. SPOILER: A bad guy gets killed (we think) but it turns out he has a TWIN who is out for REVENGE! 😂 Either the writers are mailing it in or they’re having fun. Here’s a fun drinking game. Watch the show and whenever any of these things happen, take a drink. 1) A character says “Virgin River” 2) Doc says something about what things used to be like 3) Something in the past is referenced but isn’t explained. 4) Any flashback 5) Any shot of the River not including the intro shot 6) Anyone refuses to go to the hospital 7) Anyone says “You look nice.” 8) Anytime Mel says “I’m a nurse practitioner/midwife” 9) Anytime someone tells Superman’s mom (Hope) to not “tell anyone”. This is the source of most plot points. You’ll be drunk in no time.

Awesome silly fun.
