Gilmore Girls and 4 other cozy shows that have the same vibe as Netflix's Virgin River
1) Hart of Dixie
Hart of Dixie is a comedy drama series that aired on The CW from September 2011 to March 2015 for four seasons. There are 76 episodes in total.
Hart of Dixie stars Rachel Bilson as Dr. Zoe Hart, a New York doctor who settles for a job as a general practitioner in the coastal town of Bluebell, Alabama, after her dream of becoming a heart surgeon falls through.
The series follows Zoe Hart as she inherits half of a clinic owned by her estranged father. As she attempts to practice medicine in the coastal town of Bluebell to practise medicine, the residents do not take kindly to her city persona.
