Fans of Virgin River have enjoyed the Netflix series, but there are also plenty who compare the Virgin River books vs. TV show, such as those who point out that Mel never had a baby in the Virgin River books. While TV fans wait to see what will happen with the relationship between Mel and Jack, others have read the Robyn Carr books the show is based on and know that this is not always the most important question asked. When Netflix chose to adapt the 21-book series into a TV show, there was no way there wouldn’t be changes…

Over the past five seasons, Virgin River characters have gone through significant character arcs, allowing them to grow and change. Virgin River season 5 provided multiple answers, like the identity of the father of Charmaine’s babies and the status of Doc’s experimental treatments. However, it also set up even more storylines for the…

While the Christmas-themed episodes certainly answered a few burning questions, the two-part special teased several more plotlines for the romantic drama’s upcoming installment. In Virgin River season 5, part 2’s ending, viewers learn that Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) does have a bioparent who’s alive and well. Known as “Champ,” Virgin River’s Everett is Mel’s biological father, whom she and Jack…

Virgin River season 5, part 2’s ending culminated in a cliffhanger that saw Mel Monroe’s (Alexandra Breckenridge) recently discovered biological father, Everett Reid (John Allen Nelson), dropping that he has something important to tell his long-lost child.

With the Outer Banks creators stating they’re looking to wrap up all stories in season 5, the show gets the perfect opportunity to address its biggest John B mystery. The Netflix hit has followed the Pogues on four treasure hunts and through many parental betrayals and revelations. John B’s relationship with his father made him the leading Pogue of past seasons, giving him a personal stake in the gold from the Royal Merchant and El Dorado. Notably, the Outer Banks season 4 ending benched the character, removing him from the final battle for the Blue Crown. While the focus on…

Now that would be the perfect Season 5 twist. For someone whose name we had never heard before Season 4, Chandler Groff has become a big part of Outer Banks, and not in a good way. The treasure-hunting show, which follows John B. (Chase Stokes), Sarah (Madelyn Cline), Kiara (Madison Bailey), JJ (Rudy Pankow), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), and Cleo (Carlacia Grant), or the Pogues, saw Groff kill JJ, even after getting the treasure he’d been seeking. This big twist, which sets up the fifth and final season of the show, happens at the end of yet another treasure hunt for…

I think we can all agree that the end of The Lincoln Lawyer’s third season was jaw-dropping. After winning their case, Mickey and his friends celebrated. However, that nice moment ended quickly when Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s leading man was arrested for a murder he didn’t commit. Now, he’ll be in prison, and after hearing the showrunner’s comments about what could happen next, I’m gonna need Netflix to greenlight this show for Season 4 ASAP. After binge-watching the Netflix series, I spoke with The Lincoln Lawyer’s co-showrunner Dailyn Rodriguez about Season 3, and we really dug into the ending. While explaining that…

In 2011, Matthew McConaughey led a mid-level legal drama called The Lincoln Lawyer, based on Michael Connelly’s 2005 novel (a spin-off from the Bosch universe). It did decently well, making $87 million off its $40 million budget and getting pretty good reviews, but that was that. It didn’t have much cultural impact, and there were no sequels of anything. So it’s surprising how a television version of the same character’s story could become such a big hit for Netflix. The Lincoln Lawyer co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer Dailyn Rodriguez spoke with MovieWeb about the character of Mickey Haller in all…
