The show has run for six seasons, with a seventh on the way.

I was introduced toVirgin Riverwhen season 4 came out.

As much as I want to like it, I have a love-hate relationship with the Netflix show.

Luckily, one interesting fan theory fixes my complaint, stopping me from quittingVirgin Riveraltogether.

Theoretically, every season lasts approximately one month.

There are 3 weeks between the end of seasons 2 and 3.

Three months are between theend ofVirgin Riverseason 5, part 2and the Christmas episodes.

Another three-month jump occurs between the Christmas episodes and season 6.

However, this timeline makes other events of the show even more confusing.

Jack somehow recovers from a severe gunshot wound and moves in with Mel in a matter of three weeks.

Virgin Riverseason 6 only makes me even more frustrated.

Preachers trial also feels rushed because they went from finding a body to finishing the trial in three months.

Ultimately, the inconsistency of how time moves in Virgin River gives me mental whiplash.

However, I found a three-year-old fan theory on Reddit that fixes the issue.

Time can seem to stand still, and Jack can heal from a gunshot wound almost immediately.

Charmaine can remain pregnant for five seasons, while Preacher goes to trial for murder in less than one.

There are no rules about how long a TBI takes to heal or when genetic testing can occur.

Like the timeline, this aspect of the show can be forgiven in a mystical setting.

Ultimately, the afterlife theory isnt perfect.

Multiple flaws exist that could make it less gratifying for others.
