16 Shows to Watch After You've Binged "Virgin River" That Deliver Charming Small-Town Vibes

"Sweet Magnolias" is definitely heavier on the friendship side than the romance side, but these women's lives in the South will still feel reminiscent of "Virgin River." Both shows also have a very Hallmark-esque feel to them — despite neither being from Hallmark! The two Netflix shows feel quaint and charming even though they take place in wildly different locales, but what really makes these shows similar is the strong female leads. Both series star women at the forefront doing big things and excelling at it. These are great stories of female empowerment for anyone to watch.
