Based on Robyn Carr’s novel series of the same name, Netflix’s successful romantic drama series, Virgin River, dives into small town issues and Jack and Mel’s love story. Mel, who moved to Virgin River to work there as a midwife and escape the pain of the traumatic loss of her husband and unborn child, meets ex-Marine Jack, who carries his own trauma-filled package. Virgin River highlights their story, but also introduces various other characters and what they are dealing with.
