Every episode of a drama many consider ‘one of the best series ever’ is now streaming on Netflix.
All four seasons of Everwood are now included in the streamer’s extensive library. It is said to be a perfect binge watch for those who are big fans of Virgin River.
According to the series synopsis, it centres around a world-renowned brain surgeon Dr. Andrew Brown, from New York who decides to start a new life after the death of his wife. He leaves glamorous Manhattan and his prosperous medical practice for the idyllic small town of Everwood.
He chooses this destination because of his late wife’s emotional attachment to the town. Along with him are his two kids, Delia and Ephram.
The show revolves around the family’s relationships as they adjust to small-town life and the kids’ relationships with their peers, both as friends and in the dating world.
While the show’s cast was lead by the late Treat Williams, it also included some soon to be famous faces in early roles. This includes Emily VanCamp who would go on to star in multiple Marvel projects as well as medical drama The Resident. Also starring is a young Chris Pratt, before he went on to appear as Andy in Parks and Recreation or Star Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy.
According to an article found in Southern Living: “Everwood is a cosy and sentimental show that ran on The WB from 2002-2006 with a storyline so similar to that of Virgin River that people have wondered whether or not it provided the blueprint for Netflix’s adaptation of the Robyn Carr books.”
They go on to claim that Virgin River fans would be ‘crazy’ not to check out the series. They also list several plot points that the two shows have in common.
Fans also agree as one responded to a post on Reddit that asked: ” I have just finished watching Virgin River for the first time. Does anyone have any recommendations for similar shows?”
One of the top answers was: “Everwood should definitely be your next watch!! One of my all-time favorites and I’ve watched a lot of the same shows as you.”
While originally being broadcast between 2002 and 2006, it was considered a critical hit at the time. It boasts an impressive 93% on website. The show has also remained a firm favourite with fans, who still recommend it 20 years after it concluded. They still claim it is an easy binge watch and more should discover it.
One fan claimed: “I got so hooked that couldn’t do anything else and became a daily binge watch marathon. Great acting. Great story.”
Another went so far as to say: “One of the best series ever. A pity it ended after just four seasons. Talented actors, beautiful photography, a complete and amazing drama, full of sentiments, sensations, fun. It makes me smile, makes me laugh, makes me cry a lot too.”
While a third added: “A gem. Truly one of the greatest shows ever. Always nice to visit Everwood.” Someone else shared a similar view as they commented: “An underrated TV series. The characters are interesting, and draw you in from the first episode. Well written and very clever humors at times. Quite relaxing and worth watching.”
A viewer called the series ‘addictive’ and continued: “I’m speeding through this show way too fast. I think it’s been less than a week and I’m already on the third season. We are talking 20+ episodes per season, not the usual 8-12 episodes that we get nowadays.”
