Several more viewers chimed in with glowing recommendations for the Virgin River doppelganger.
“It’s been my favourite show since it aired back in 2011. So so funny! Enjoy!” one fan responded.
One fan expressed: “Hart of Dixie was one of my favourite shows!! You will love it.”
Another suggested: “Hart of Dixie was a much better show, primarily because the characters were quirkier and just more interesting. It was funnier too.
“Virgin River leans too much into the drama and ends up being too soap opera-ish.”
The original poster agreed, saying: “Yeah there’s something about it, I can’t put my finger on it but it’s better. Maybe it’s the actors are better at acting lol.”
