I have just started watching this show and am about halfway through the first season. I can't stand one of the characters so much that I don't know if I can keep watching it. If anyone has watched it, is it worth continuing?

You must be talking about Hope, ha. I think she is entertaining. I really like this show.

So I feel like I am in a worst mood after watching it.  I love the main character, and Doc is growing on me. But Hope, I don't know if I can continue! I will try to get my kids to watch it, then they can tell me what happens. |

Hope will continue to aggravate you but like I said she is entertaining. I can't wait for season 3. Big cliff hanger at the end of 2. Stick with it a while.

I almost forgot Hope was annoying. I guess she turned to simply entertaining for me too.

I thought the first few episodes were promising, but then it gets worse. It never got better and more characters became annoying and the acting seemed to get worse. But we finished the second season. I liked Mel and that was enough to make me keep watching. I didn't even like Jack after a while.

Oh yes I have posted many times about Hope. I CAN’T stand her. But otherwise I love the show.

We've watched both seasons and tolerate Hope. Her facial expressions drive DH batty! I keep hoping that Mel goes back to Kevin in This is Us.  |

I am on ep 4 of season 2. There is another Virgin River thread here I read a while back. Everyone was complaining about Hope so sure enough, during most of season 1, I thought she was beyond-annoying. Then I don't know... before the season ended, I kept saying to myself "I really don't mind her!" I think she's a pretty bad actress - lol - but I kind of like her on the show. I am really enjoying it!

It stays basically the same. I think I will have to take a break from the show. There is so much terrible things going on in this country and I need a fun, happy show. I just can't take Hope! Haha! Maybe I can come back to it at another time. But I don't need tv characters making me angry when the news (Trump and covid) stress me out enough. Or I can fast forward when she is on! |

I can see what you mean about Jack. |

If you’re talking about the mayor-yeah we quit the show. Couldn’t get past her being A raving lunatic as well as her dumb fucking lips puckering Into a pout.
I was going to read the books but the show put me off this author for good. Wtg Netflix.

I would still read the books. I honestly don't remember Hope being that big of a character. Granted I read the books like 8 years ago so I'm sure I'm forgetting things, but I still say they are worth the read.

I am going to try to take a break from the show, then try again. Or maybe just watch one episode a week. I think jamming to much Hope by watching a few episodes over a few days is to much. |

I told my husband if he ever wondered what cheesy romance novels looked like-this show goes right down the checklist.

I’ve enjoyed the show. I think of Hope as what someone in a small town would do.
I’m not sure how far I am in the series. I’m glad it’s out there as that’s my weekend getaway at this point!

But I also liked Hope in the first episode, but that went downhill fast! I guess after reading everyone's input here and on the other thread that Gina shared, I will give it another try. Glad to know I'm not the only one who can't stand some of the characters. |

Glad to know I'm not the only one who can't stand some of the characters. I liked her in the first season too. I’ve listened to the audio books through my library and enjoyed them. The series strays away from the books quite a bit in my opinion, but I still enjoyed the show. I’ll watch season 3. |

Charmaine turned me off way more than Hope. I don't like weak, clingy, manipulative women. If a man makes it clear that he does not want you don't pathetically try to hang onto him. Dump him and live your best life.

I just watched the part about the letter, and I hate what she is doing.
And I agree, I don't like watching clingy men and women either.

If anyone has watched it, is it worth continuing? If you don't like Hope, that is the way she yes. I like Hope. However Charmine in season 2 annoys the hell out of me. Despite that I still like the show. |

I love the main character, and Doc is growing on me. But Hope, I don't know if I can continue! I will try to get my kids to watch it, then they can tell me what happens.
