This Netflix series is a perfect winter watch

It is hibernation season and we've socialised enough this month.

We're ready for Netflix marathons and we've found the perfect show for you to watch if you're a fan of Gilmore Girls.

As much as we adore heading back to Stars Hollow, we sometimes need a break from binge-watching the show.

Luckily, Netflix is full of heartwarming drama series that will remind you of Gilmore Girls but will also be a welcome change if you're also guilty of re-watching the same show over and over again.

One show that matches the charm and warmth of Gilmore Girls is the Netflix series Virgin River.

The moving but uplifting show is a tearjerker but has that small-town feel that Gilmore Girls does.

It may have aired for the first time in 2019 but some viewers are only discovering the show now.

As it enters its sixth season, now really is the perfect time to tune into the show.

One fan wrote, "I love Virgin River. Saving the new series for a duvet day. Old style series with a love story in a beautiful little American country town with gorgeous views."

"I love Virgin River; it’s like Gilmore Girls with crime yet somehow it’s also much more boring," another wrote.

Virgin River follows nurse practitioner Mel who is searching for a fresh start. She moves from LA to a remote northern California town and is surprised by what — and who — she finds.

Virgin River is available on Netflix now.
