Sometimes you just want to watch a feel good series within good characters. Good sub plots lovely heroine/s and the good old hunk for the ladies eye candy. And this is it. I binged season 1 in 2 sittings, and am now bereft and looking forward to S2 ( in production )
Yes it's a bit hall mark and cliched, but it's so watchable and addictive, and you don't have to think too hard which sometimes that's just what you want..no spoilers or plot review, just watch it you won't be disappointed.

Binge-worthy

Engaging, complex characters, good story line and well acrted. Scenery is outstanding. At times I thought much of it might be from British Columbia. Anyway, even though the dialogue is heavily tinged with Southern California, the multiple intersecting plot lines make it interesting. I also checked with a friend who lives in Humboldt County and yes, there are still gun-toting morons in the hills protecting illegal pot growing operations. I hope the second season comes out soon, as I'll likely binge on it as well.
What a great show!

Give this show a watch. You will be so glad you did. If you have a mushy heart, you will be taken in hook, line and sinker. What a great show. The ups and downs of life in a beautifully told story. You never know what curve you are headed for, that's what makes it awesome. heartaches quirky people and the love in the eyes of those two. I am so excited for a season 2. Yes.
Really an unexpected ending to this season.

Warning: Spoilers
Okay, I'm a guy. I watched S1 with my girlfriend and I tried, I really did. But the obviousness of the plot points killed the show's vitality. Charmaine's pregnancy...like no one could see that coming? But the writers stretch out the reveal for two episodes. And the "letter conundrum"? Drop it in the mail. The illegal pot growers? A couple calls to the BLM and ATF.
And the relationships? In my experience, successful ones connect two people of relatively equal desire who both recognize the fragility of a good thing. Yet, the men in VR exhibit a sort of clubbed, everlasting love cut with the patience of Job, while the women seem narcissistic and self-absorbed. Doc cheated on Hope, once, 20 years ago and she has since resisted his every apology. But an unattached Doc would draw older women out of the woodwork, more than just Muriel. A few years of Hope's cold shoulder and Doc would turn to a warmer one. If Hope wanted to keep him, she'd have to address her issues, accept his apology, and meet him halfway.
And Jack is the most eligible bachelor in town (despite his relationship with Charmaine). A thoughtful, good-looking ex-Marine who owns and operates the town 'hot spot'? He'd have his pick of the local women. As a young man, I tended bar in a place like this and trust me, women for miles around would hound him. And even if reluctant, certainly, he'd understand the truth of his circumstances: high-demand. But, here, he's a doormat. The self-serving, drama queen Mel treats him like dirt, leaving for L. A. without a word, then refuses to return his calls. Here, the writers/Director refuse to include scenes of Jack going to the cabin and finding it empty; of a worried and heartsick Jack calling Mel, again and again, to no avail. Instead, we get Mel at her dead husband's grave, and Jack crawling back to her to renew his unquenched love. Meh.
A lot of guys (like me) would pass on Mel, a woman far too self-obsessed to see her partner with any clarity. But in this show, it's all Mel, all the time.
