Virgin River Season 5 Is the Best One Yet

glamour.com:

Virgin River is finally , and I'm thrilled to say it doesn't disappoint. Under new showrunner Patrick Sean Smith, the show moves at a faster pace than in previous seasons, while staying true to its roots. (There are no time jumps in case you were wondering.) New characters enter the picture without feeling forced, and will get answered, all while creating new mysteries and events to ponder.But as idyllic as the town of Virgin River is, this season isn't immune to the devastation that's been happening in cities all over the world as a wildfire erupts and threatens everyone's lives.

It almost feels too close to home—I, for one, watch VR for an escape—but when this major event does happen, it's handled delicately enough with a strong focus on the characters, propelling various storylines forward for seasons to come.Of course, there are plenty of soap opera-fueled moments too: Who is the father of Charmaine's twins?

And just how ballistic is Jack going to react when he actually processes that he's been lied to for months?The end of the season (or at least these 10 episodes; two more will roll out after Thanksgiving) brings so many surprising and shocking developments that you'll be counting down to November 30 immediately.

I'll be here to break it all down with you later this week.With that, check out the full guide to this week below. I'll see you back here next Sunday for my favorite new rom-com of the year, Love at First Sight, and the third season premiere of The Morning Show.The Little Mermaid (Disney+): Disney’s live-action reimagining of the animated musical classic will premiere on Disney's streaming site today.
