All 5 Virgin River seasons ranked from worst to best

3. Season 4

For some Virgin River fans, you could arguably place season 4 as the best season of the series (so far). So many long-awaited moments happen in these episodes that it’s hard not to absolutely adore the season as a whole. Between Mel and Jack’s relationship progression and the season 3 cliffhanger resolution, the payoff in the fourth season is incredible.

Not only do Mel and Jack finally get engaged after the interrupted proposal in the season 3 finale and the hard-fought work they did on their relationship throughout season 4, but the expectant parents find out that Jack is confirmed the father and, drumroll, they’re having a baby girl. If you ship Mel and Jack, Virgin River season 4 seriously delivers the goods.

From helicopter (mis)adventures to finally finding out who shot Jack (it was Vince!), Virgin River season 4 featured all of the moments we had been waiting for, while also creating more to look forward to in season 5. After the bomb Charmaine drops in the season finale, the rug has been pulled out from underneath Jack again. Virgin River knows how to keep us hooked.

Next up, we’re checking in on the runner-up in our Virgin River seasons ranking. You just can’t go wrong with the most recent season of the series!
