With Netflix&#039;s Virgin River Season 4 just released on the platform, here&#039;s how the slightly banal but still comforting show wins hearts.

&#8216;Virgin River&#8217; Season 4: The Cliched Yet Heartening Guilty Pleasure Is Back on Netflix

Not every show needs multiple timelines, a dark alternate reality, or murderous
monsters out to get teenagers (Stranger Things is incredible). At times, all one
needs is some good old drama. We might even forgive the tiny bit of melodrama,
even if we don’t admit to it publicly. A central romance, a few conflicts, and
multiple cliff-hangers all set against the backdrop of a scenic small-town
California tick all the boxes. Of course, we mean Virgin River. Despite its
cheesy, almost soap-ish quality, the humble show is the series alternative of a
warm hug on a rainy evening. And now, with Virgin River Season 4 streaming on
the platform, we just can’t keep calm.


HOW DID VIRGIN RIVER SEASON 3 LEAVE US?

Yes, this show isn’t an intellectual stimulus or a comedy masterpiece with
snappy dialogues. However, the easy-on-the-eyes Netflix Original
[http://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals] is not frivolous. In its modest
way, it touches upon topical issues like illegal marijuana farming, the opioid
crisis, and emotional nuances like war PTSD and domestic violence.

Season 3 left us with a barrage of unanswered plot points. Here’s a short recap
and a video from TVLine to keep you up to speed. (Spoiler Alert!)



As season 3 came to a close, Mike found a gun in Brady’s car and took him in for
shooting Jack. Charmine, Jack’s ex, has just delivered unexpected twins, while
the lovable Brie had enough and wanted to distance herself from the town and
start afresh. Preacher helping Paige dispose of her abusive ex-husband’s body
brings only trouble for him, for we last see him drugged, passed out, and tied
up in the woods.

A strange surprise for the doc shows up as a 20-year-old grandson. Definitely
mysterious as the doc and Hope never had children. After the terrible accident,
Hope slips into a coma, her life hanging by a thread. And just when Jack is
about to propose, Mel reveals she is pregnant

Is Jack the father? Or did the IVF with Mark work? Dram surely hasn’t eluded
this tiny town of Virgin River.


WHAT TO EXPECT FROM SEASON 4?

With so many cliffhangers last season, the audience is expecting answers,
resolution, and closure from Virgin River season 4. We need to know who took a
shot at Jack. Was it really Brady as evidence points, or was he set up? What
will become of Preacher? Fans really await the reunion of Preacher, Paige, and
Christopher.



Hope’s fate is still up in the air. The new season is sure to explore that
storyline as well as the enigma of the potential grandson. Brie’s journey is
also at a crossroads. Will her closeness with Mike lead to further complications
between her and Calvin? And finally, whose baby is Mel carrying? Will jack and
Mel have their fairytale happy ending?

[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-touching-comments-on-virgin-river-season-4-trailer-by-netflix-will-leave-you-in-tears-2/]
or is just a binge-able placeholder in-between flagship shows, the wait is over
