5. Shows like Virgin River: Hart of Dixie
Many people have made comparisons to Virgin River and Hart of Dixie before as both revolve around a young woman moving to a small town to work in the medical field.
In Hart of Dixie, Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) moves to quirky Bluebell, Alabama to work as a practitioner, giving up her big New York City dreams.
The four-season CW series is more lighthearted and fluffy than Virgin River, which can get somewhat dark and dramatic at times, but it has romance galore, including a love triangle and plenty of lovable side characters. Hart of Dixie is also easily comparable to Gilmore Girls, if that’s another series that appeals to you.
Also, Tim Matheson, who plays Doc Mullins in Virgin River, also has a major role in Hart of Dixie as Doctor Brick Breeland; the characters are pretty similar.
Hart of Dixie is available to stream on Netflix.
