A place to dream Initially, it took us into the life experience of a nurse who moved from Los Angeles to a remote city in Northern California, who was surprised by everything she began to experience and discover there. Its first installment was released in December 2019 and then the following ones arrived in November 2020 and July 2021. Now, its fourth season recently premiered, which continued to show us that “Mel does not know if the child she is expecting is from Mark ( her late husband) or Jack.” However, the protagonist takes this opportunity with great enthusiasm, after years of longing to be a mother. So, now her dream is very close to coming true.
Twelve new episodes make up the unprecedented season of A place to dream (Virgin River), with which those loose ends left by the third stage of the series are resumed. In addition, a new character arrives in the story and comes to create tension and perhaps even a love triangle. Next, we expose the reasons that have trapped the subscribers of the giant of the streaming.
200% romanticism
In traditional love stories, a man meets a woman and they fall in love. Y A place to dream is no exception, as he continues to follow this classic path that has been followed by many successes on the screen. Here, the woman around whom the story revolves is called Melinda Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge), a very nice lady who moves to the small town of Virgin River, California, to rebuild her life after the death of her husband Mark. And the man she knows is Jack (Martin Henderson), the owner of the town restaurant who is about to start a family with another woman until he meets Melinda. Classic! With the above, from the beginning Netflix served at the public table romantic drama that does not fail.
dream landscapes
Although the story takes place in a “quiet town in California”, the series was recorded on the outskirts of Vancouver (Canada), and it is characterized by its dense forests, its extraordinary mountains and its incredible lakes. Snug Cove, New Westminster, Squamish and Port Coquitlam are some of the locations in the metropolitan area of the Canadian city that serve as the backdrop for the hit Netflix. Therefore, this particularity surrounded by nature is another reason for its success.
drama and more drama
Added to the mystery about the paternity of the child in Melinda’s womb are the dramas that make up the life stories of the secondary characters. For example, the most anticipated return of the fourth season is that of Hope (Annette O’Toole), one of the most notorious absences from the third installment that devastated fans; as well as the face of the person who tried to kill Jack with a firearm will also be known.
Stereotypes and cliches
In this section we emphasize the gender roles of the story, for example: the protagonist is a nurse and caregiver, and the central male character is an ex-marine with many traumas who requires someone like her to help him. So, without a doubt, it can be assured that A place to dream follows the exact formula of the clichés about romantic love. In addition, it enhances it. And finally, in the fourth season he adds a classic and inevitable movement: the creation of a love triangle due to an attractive doctor who has just arrived in town; among others.
You know, A place to dream is waiting for you in Netflix.
