I like the series too. I thought the Doctors estranged wife was Annette O Toole born of American parents.

Thanks for heads up- enjoyed the last 2 series- binge watched in lockdown tbh can’t remember which lockdown!
Just hope next series is ‘in the can’ ready for the next lockdown the way things are going…

Rake isn’t cheesy !?

Aveline Have you watched Rake?

Like that too !

Ooh great. I didn't expect the next series for ages. It got a bit cheesy in series 2 but I love the setting and many of the characters.
Drat. I've still got 5 more series of 'Offspring' to catch up on. Looks like my convalescence won't be too boring after all!

Yay another Offspring fan ! I loved it.

Yes you’ve guessed the annoying one. Did you know she is the daughter of Peter O’Toole and Sian Phillips and she is also a Kate.

Thanks for your recommendation * Esspee*.

Merlotgran The doctor's estranged wife irritates me immensely. Ages since I watched it so I can't remember her name. Her acting is ridiculously over the top. I'm guessing you agree. ?

Easy viewing, nice scenery and a lot of nice quilts on beds.

I watched that too. Trace Riley was gorgeous! Programme just a bit too cheesy for me though.

If you like Virgin River you might enjoy Chesapeake Shores. Similarly cheesy but addictive.

Oh thanks! Will watch the 3rd series - I binge watched the first two series - not sure why - it is cheesy. ??

Lucca Thu 08-Jul-21 19:27:07

I’ll probably watch it when I can’t sleep ! Lovely scenery but it’s a bit cheesy

I really enjoyed the story lines and the characters, although I think I can guess which character you find irritating NanKate. The scenery is superb. I'm looking forward to Series 3 tomorrow as I've been stuck for choice on Netflix lately. .

Thanks for the heads up i loved the first 2 series.

I didn't think Virgin River would be my cup of tea but I was immediately hooked. The scenery is fabulous.

I wonder if my annoying character is the same as yours NanKate?

Can't wait for series 3.

I enjoyed the first 2 series, even though one of the characters is a bit annoying. Series 3 starts tomorrow. It’s set in Canada even though it is supposed to be the US.

Give it a whirl.
