VIRGIN RIVER 3RD SEASON, CNN FUNNY AND SERIOUS The third season of the Netflix original series Virgin River began streaming July 9. It ranks as one of the most popular series on Netflix. The title refers to a (fictional) rural Oregon town where the series is set. The first season deftly juggled humor with dramatic scenes. The acting was very good. Like many series, the second season faltered as the plot lines got more soap opera-ish. I haven’t seen the third season yet, and I just hope it will return to its first season form. Connie, an important recurring character, runs the town’s general store. Tara, Connie’s granddaughter, is a recurring character who first appears
Stacey Farber
in the third season. Tara is played by Stacey Farber, 33, who grew-up in Toronto. Like many young Canadians, she got her start with a big role on the popular Canadian series Degrassi: The Next Generation. The eight-part original CNN series, History of the Sitcom, began last Sunday and new episodes premiere Sundays at 9 p.m. It features 180 interviews with famous sitcom figures, including the late Carl Reiner, Norman Lear, Lisa Kudrow, Jason Alexander,
Mel Brooks, Judd Apatow, Dan Levy and Chuck Lorre. Another CNN original series, Jerusalem: City of Faith and Fury, begins on Sunday, July 18, at 10 p.m. This six-part series covers the city’s history from Biblical times until the present. It is narrated by actor Ewan McGregor (McGregor’s ex-wife is Jewish. They have four daughters, and they were raised Jewish). My Unorthodox Life, an original Netflix reality show, began streaming July 14. The series centers around the personal and professional life of fashion mogul Julia Haart, 50ish. Haart, the mother of four, left her life in a hasidic sect to become the head of a major modeling empire. In dress and conduct, she is no longer a typical hasidic woman. Much of the series focuses on the contrast between the former hasidic lifestyle of her and her
children and their current lifestyles. The first episode of the third season of Miracle Workers, a TBS comedy/drama series, premiered July 13 (encore showings every day on TBS and Hulu+ through the 19th). Each Miracle Workers season stands alone. The first season featured two angels, played by Daniel Radcliffe, 31, and Steve Buscemi. It was based on a novel by Simon Rich, 37. The second season, which is streaming on Hulu+, also starred Buscemi and Radcliffe, but in different roles. It was set during the Dark Ages and was based on a Rich short story. The third season finds Radcliffe playing an idealistic small-town preacher who teams up with a wanted outlaw (Buscemi) as they try and lead a wagon train across the country on the Oregon Trail (1844).
