'Virgin River’s Messiest Character Turned Out to Be Its Best

For six seasons, Virgin River has given us small-town sensibilities, saccharine romances, and slow-burning tales. More than likely, fans will reference Jack (Martin Henderson) and Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) as the show’s core for these reasons alone. Still, the most intriguing character isn’t part of that duo. It’s Dan Brady (Ben Hollingsworth), the Marine-turned-tortured-antihero of the town, whose inner conflict and constant battles with doing good or bad make him the most explosive and compelling performer in Netflix’s smash hit.
