If you like Virgin River you'll love Sullivan's Crossing.

Plotlines are predictable but the character development has come a long way from the beginning. Sully is a character you can really pull for. Morgan Kohan is really settling in to the leading role. Being able to lean on veteran actors like Tom Jackson, Scott Patterson and Chad Michael Murray has given her time to lean in to her character and Maggie has become relatable and warm, something not there at the start.

If you love the books you may not embrace the differences but that's not unusual. Nice scenery of the Canadian Maritimes...

BTW DON'T read the lone critic review unless you want to laugh. Not sure what show they think they're reviewing but Nova Scotia looks nothing like the Rocky Mountains...

I love the storyline of the show, I think it has great potential to grow and go far without a doubt. The first episode was a little slow (understandable while getting to know the characters), but my advice to anyone watching it is to keep going because there is a LOT of depth and background to all the characters and their storylines! I've been watching it every week as soon as it comes out. It gives me Virgin River vibes with the family history, love story, some suspenseful moments. The cast is great and I LOVE seeing Scott Patterson and Chad Michael Murray back on the screen, they absolutely blow these roles out of the park and I have been a huge fan of them for years! As a newer actress, Morgan does amazing at playing the role of Maggie and ensuring the audience feels and understands what she's feeling. As a Canadian I love that it's filmed in Canada and touches on Canadian history, not many shows have done that and done it so incredibly well. I think this show will be a really big hit with more seasons to come, and I look forward to continuing to watch!

The reason I started watching this is because I saw an article about it saying that this show may be better than Virgin River. I rate THAT show 10/10. But THIS show, the soundtrack is annoying. And the sound increases too many times that I find myself having to adjust the sound. The main character, Maggie is a neurosurgeon. Initially seeing her in action was fine but the way she handles stress and so forth makes me frown. I was a critical care Respiratory Therapist. Now I'm disabled due to an injury with chronic pain. Stuff I've been through in my professional life and in my personal life, my stress relief is screaming in a pillow or back then, working out. I know people react differently but her responses to her problems just seem too cheesy. I just think there was a lot of over acting. I don't remember who wrote the article but, better than Virgin River? Nah ah, no way, no how. I will continue to watch cuz I'm watching it while none of my other shows are on. But, if there is a season two, I'd have no idea if I'd watch it. Right now, it's on while I'm watching it so it doesn't hold my full attention. Oh, I'm going to be a little too immature right now with this next comment. But, the boyfriend of Maggie, Andrew, who is played by Allan Hawco is definitely not who'd I consider a good catch. His beard and mouth, all I see is Homer Simpson. I fast forward or don't look at the TV cuz, eww. Five stars cuz it's something to watch and put on TV to pass the time for me. But I guess I can compare it to a Hallmark movie. So if you like Hallmark, over dramatic and cheesy, you should like this.

Edit: I didn't realize there was a season two when I was writing the first review. I shouldn't have said what I said because I tend to have to finish shows. The only time I don't finish watching, is if it's really boring that I can't stay awake watching. Anyhow, I added an extra star because I think season two is better than the first season. Still can't watch Allan Hawco.

The scenery is a 10/10. This is a beautiful show to watch for the natural scenery.

I like the storyline. Maggie is a very smart and dynamic human. I loved watching her story. Sully is complex and the actor plays the broken soul with a lot of realistic emotion.

Lost one star because sometimes I just enjoy watching a story without the far fetched drama sprinkles tossed in, but I know the drama is needed to keep the audience intrigued.

I really hope a season two comes - I want Maggie and Sully to have an honest conversation, I want Maggie and Cal to have a love story, I really want to see Edna and Frank and their hopeful love story, and honestly I want to know what's going to happen with Lola, Sydney, Rob and Jackson (considering they're the ones all the "extra and out there" drama seems to come from).

I agree that the first episode started slow, but it definitely picks up and makes up for it in the rest of the season. This show and the characters are so relatable with real life issues that other shows just don't touch on without being pushed in your face. The last episode was heartbreaking with so many things coming together. I felt so connected to all 3 main characters and their stories.

I love that this show is filmed and set in Nova Scotia with all it's natural beauty. If you like this season support it by recommending it sooner than later to your friends and family. Follow it on social media and leave your IMDB ratings.

If you're a fan of Hallmark series or other Canadian series like Virgin River, Chesapeake Shores and Cedar Cove, you'll definitely enjoy Sullivan's Crossing. As importantly, if you loved Gilmore Girls, this show stars Scott Peterson who played Luke Danes, the owner of Luke's Grill in the fictional town of Stars Hollow. Now, he plays "Sully," short for his surname, Sullivan, owner of a campground-style resort in Nova Scotia called Sullivan's Crossing. His daughter, Maggie, a young neurosurgeon, returns to help him after she was taken away abruptly by her mother when just a child after the marriage fell apart. Her character is the lead and her love interest is none other than Chad Michael Murray, best known for his role as Lucas Scott on One Tree Hill. He plays a lawyer who left his career behind and is staying at Sullivan's Crossing as he seeks a new path forward and a simpler life. He is as hunky and handsome as can be. The series features plenty of drama, ups and downs, and soul searching, but always with a family-friendly tone and sympathetic approach. It can be a bit sappy and hokey, but overall, it's like the comfort food of tv series.

What the heck is this mess? The few good actors in this show can't save it from being enormously disappointing. Tons of bad acting. Really bad story lines and tired, old plots make it really difficult to get through every episode Not just depressing but Maggie is the worst person i have ever seen short of a serial killer with no ability to look beyond herself. She is selfish. She is self centered. She is so easily manipulated by those around her and she is soooooo weak. They make her seem like a strong women but portray her and a total wimp. So disappointing. Even more disappointing then Virgin River.

I tried watching Sullivan's Crossing but I ended up giving up on it. I just couldn't watch it at all.

I understand it's based on the books but everything about wat just bad.

The story revolves around a man whose daughter is taken from him by his ex-wife and her new husband. Okay, kidnapped is the right word for it. She returns home to Nova Scotia as an adult to try and reconnect with her father.

I feel I was very generous in giving Sullivan's Crossing six stars out of ten when I could have gone lower than that but I decided not to because at the time I had hoped it would get better than it did.

There's just nothing to enjoy about this series. Constant depressing episodes so what is the point? I have tried watching and even got through the first season. Hoping for more in the second season and it's just ridiculous.

Life is hard sometimes but does everyone on this show have such a pathetic life?

Literally every character has nothing happy going on. Who wants to watch such depressive stuff?

I don't want to give spoilers because maybe there is actually some people who enjoy all sadness and drama. It's just not a show I will devote any more time to.

It's quite a shame too because I really like the actors that star in it.

I just finished this series and I am an absolute puddle on the floor. TV does not normally make me sob like this. Please oh please tell me there is a season 2 coming!

Nova Scotia, a Canadian series, Chad Michael Murray, and Luke from Gilmore Girls all put together sounded like the most amazing fit when I heard about this. And I am happy to report that it was, in fact, a perfect fit.

Big shoutout to every Maggie and Sully interaction, which always causes a reaction from me, whether it be happy or tense. They work SO well together.

I am absolutely captivated by the beauty of Nova Scotia and this story. The choices, dilemmas, scandals, and all the layers of loss come together in a way that makes it feel deeply personal. Truly well done.

Based books by the same author as Virgin River, this has exactly the same template. Big city girl moves to a small town to escape her problems, drama ensues with some romantic tension between main character and handsome local. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Each episode. If you enjoy that formula, you'll probably really enjoy this show. It's campy and soapy, and generally a cute formulaic romance drama.

A note though, calling this "Canadian" is being generous. It's supposed to be set in a Canadian maritime town, yet most of the characters have obviously very American accents and don't sound like locals in Nova Scotia would sound at all. They also seem to have ignored the fact that culture and laws are markedly different in Canada than in the US, and consistently make references that aren't accurate for Canada. If you want something authentically Canadian, this won't do it for you.

I wasn't sure about this after watching 1 episode but sooooooooooo glad that I stuck with it.

The setting is gorgeous. Nova Scotia in Canada and the scenery will blow you away.

Some fine acting going on there and a special mention to Scott Patterson and Chad Michael Murray (Cal who is the heartthrob of the series).

Story centres around Maggie a neurosurgeon who works in Boston who end up being accused of a young boy's death in the trauma room. She returns home to Sullivan's Crossing, a campsite and her family home to a father she barely knows and who she accuses of abandoning her when she was a child when her mother left him and took them to Boston. The finale had me in pieces sobbing. Please!!!! There must be a Season 2 !!!!!!!!

It's a HIT no doubt about it.

You would be crazy not to watch this fine production. I loved it!!!!!!

When i began watching it i didn't what to expect ,never heard about the books or so. This is a drama centered on a vacation camp, with several characters you will enjoy and some you don´t, but its nice, sometimes it looks a little amateur like the image of the drone on the water, but nothing to worry too much.

May first feeling about the first two episodes was: This is riding Virgin River wave, and yes ,i was not wrong, if you enjoy Virgin River this is much of the same, a romantic story, hearts broken ,lovely landscapes.

I don´t say this is top , but its enjoyable once you know what to expect. My wife is enjoying it and to be truthful and i am riding the wave...

Too often when books are developed into a movie or series, it's not true to the original story. For this reason, I decided to watch the television version before reading the books so I wouldn't be critical of differences in the story.

Families can be complex, as it is with Maggie Sullivan, her family, and many of the secondary characters. This may be why some reviewers called the show depressing because of the conflicts and emotions being portrayed.

Although the first episode didn't fully draw me into the storyline, as the series progressed I found myself liking it more and more. By the time I reached the last episode, I wasn't wanting it to end. I'm happy there will be a second season and look forward to the continuing story.

Was excited for this to air.. Finally! After seeing previews & clips,once it premiered in Canada.

When a few side characters from a more popular series are in it,usually that means they are trying to boost it.. For views,ratings & that is unfortunate.

Honestly it moves very slow & nothing like a series that says alot,but also leaves you hanging in a cryptic fashion.. Ever have a friend that likes to talk & talk,but never gets really to a point or asks for prayers on social media yet won't say why & leaves you hanging in their conclusions? Like that!

Series today unlike years back milk things to death,with many parts & seasons,where it impacts a viewers interest.. Where unlike years back you're not as excited,to see what happens next week-quality cliffhangers are one thing-unlike how it's approached now.

What could of helped,again.. Don't stretch things out,air two episodes or drop all episodes at once.

Give us a few milk bones of closure,resolve,ect.. It won't ruin anything enough,for a viewer to not return.

So far the lead female or any character,isn't likeable enough currently but will give it another chance.

I have not read any book based on this,unsure if that would make a difference? Regardless it's lackluster in several aspects,maybe a bad script or certain actors to their acting but somethings a miss.

Definitely isn't a Virgin River feel,but also think it's trying to playoff in a similar vibe.. So it lacks(loosely)originality or is the Wish version,therefore leaves true fans dissatisfied.

Can't say the scenery or anything is great enough yet,but again will be following up if can get into the series more.

Edit- I watched all 10 episodes even a few a couple times for perspective,but honestly my original review remains it really lacks & feel partly it's due to several(main)actors.

Feel Maggie comes across boring,monotone in talking & lacks emotion.

Sully comes across grumpy & not real great,maybe Maggie inherited his personality.

Even when the show had emergency moments it felt cartoon-ish in approach,easily resolved & no real emotion attached to care.

Hope now that Maggie,got her court stuff resolved.. We get more personality,drama,laughter,love & so forth.

Also maybe Sully can improve,once he confronts his past ghosts.

Will Cal return or not,his role was decent.. Far as the rest of the characters,you don't remember them enough to care & if you do it's rather brief like(when Frank got shot)because of other moments.

Okay, so the storyline has been told a thousand times before. Successful and attractive young and talented woman returns home and finds true love but is torn between leaving her successful business practice behind in the big city Boston or living a much simpler life in the quaint Nova Scotia village on a trailer park property.

There are many good characters in this two season TV series, but none better that of the loving relationship of two co-stars namely, Frank and Edna Cranebear played by the veteran actors Tom Jackson and Andrea Menard.

As each episode passes, we get to know just a bit more of many of the characters past, both the good times and the bad times, much as what happens in our own personal lives. What was unrealistic was some of the accidents that always seemed to happen around the lead character Dr. Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) whose name would have been more appropriately named Dr. Jinx, because the critical accidents always seemed to fall into her troubled lap, both figuratively, and literally.

Secrets of the various townsfolk are also slowly revealed, and the writers and director were clever enough to build the series up to that inevitable crescendo sucking Mrs. Shullivan and I down into that rabbit hole where we both were trying to hide the shedding of tear drops.

It left us with a warm and fuzzy feel-good feeling overall.

I tried but I'm out...this show is so depressing that it's impossible to invest in any of the characters. No one smiles, laughs or experiences any joy, it's dark and sad all the time. The actress who plays the paramedic (also the annoying baby mama on Virgin River) is terrible. I am a Scott Patterson fan and grew up close the area where the show is shot, but the constant sorrow and everyone's inability to have adult/meaningful conversations about their feelings/issues is too much. I haven't read the books so I can't compare but I was really looking forward to the show and am super disappointed it didn't seem to make any progress but instead just added one personal crisis after another to the point it was hard to root for anyone.

I wasn't convinced after the first episode, but coming back to it later, I binged the rest of season one within a day.

The heart of this show are its characters and the bond between them. It's about reconnecting, meeting new people, sharing memories and experiences, learning and letting go.

Don't expect a big story; expect big emotions. This show will make you think about the important people in your life. It will make you feel all the feels. And the scenery is so beautiful it makes you wish you were there in Sullivan's Crossing.

Oh, the nostalgia factor with Chad Michael Murray is also a huge plus.

The location in Nova Scotia around the Halifax area is beautiful, perfect for a nice rom-com but this series isn't it. The script is garbage, every conversation in life isn't deep, life is mostly a lot of light interactions. This is a soap opera filmed in a beautiful location, instead of in a movie studio. No one really smiles, people walk around in a melancholic mood, what a depressing group. And I blame the directors who didn't make the acting more natural.

A waste of some good actors, Chad Michael Murray always gives a quality performance, but Morgan Kohan is stiff like she's constipated. Tom Jackson gives a good performance. It's another Roby Carr soap opera like her other one, Virgin River.

Canada produces some good TV series like "Wild Cards", "Hudson & Rex" and "Saint-Pierre", they are much better than Sullivan's Crossing and Virgin River.
