Virgin River... kinda Hallmarky but I have been hooked since s1e1. But this season... gaaaack

TOO much schmaltz.
TOO much wedding.
TOO much Brie/Lark/Mike/Brady drama.
TOO much Hope and her harpies.
TOO much Everett whispering all his lines.

SPOILER...









and Jack in that uniform... Jeez he looked like a bloated hippy. Shave, FFS and cut your GD hair.




Rant over.

Still love VR.

I always find alternate activities when she watches that show.

Seems like every season gets more cliffhangers. Then we have to wait a long time for the next one, but I'll forget what's going on by then. Oh well. My husband asked what it was like and I told him it's like Heartland without the horses. He said Heartland would suck without the horses, so he's not interested. I watch alone.

Yeah, Jack looked pretty ridiculous in that uniform.

Picked up watching it recently because I'd run out of things to watch. Reminded me how much I detest the Hope character. Damn is she a self righteous, interfering, controlling, busybody. Ack!
