Helena C @CinematicEye Mar 20 I super dislike this show. VR is pure drivel — a sappy emotionally manipulative romp, with so many white people and even more heteronormativity. Yet, and this is the most insidious thing about the show —- it’s hypnotically addictive to watch because no one’s life is this wholesome. While this is a Netflix Original, it leaves me with an indelible "ick" feeling I can’t quit shake, a feeling I’ve only previously experienced after watching a Hallmark Channel drama. Also, it’s clearly not filmed in Northern California based on the natural light and flora. Culturally, it’s way off from weed country/Humboldt County. It lacks any Native representation; it skips showing any of the hippie culture that has been present for the last 50+ years; it gets weed culture absolutely wrong. It’s a classic example of a plasticine-white-washed generic drama, that does no boat rocking — folks might just buy-in and accidentally binge watch it like the TV escapist-junk-food that it is.

I love the romance See more tm11999 M @tm11999 Jul 10 i read the reviews from younger people and they just don't get soap operas. this is fine silly story fare. the girls are pretty and jack is a savior. boon plays an old man, annette o'toole plays a randy old busybody woman and everybody else is exactly right for their characters. written by women and you can tell. watch this every time you have any down time.

See more Marc D @RT23235068 07/25/2024 I find this show rather formulaic, with simplistic plot lines, and stagnant characters. Yes, they have some trauma in their backgrounds that plays a role in their decision making processes; but you can still size that up fairly quickly. The scenery is pretty, and the leads are good looking. so if you don't expect much, at least you have that. See more Read all reviews
