Calling all Netflix users! The hit 2000s drama series, Everwood, is climbing the platform’s Top 10 TV chart in the UK as viewers re-watch all four seasons.

The Colorado-set series, which first aired on American network WB in 2002, follows a renowned brain surgeon Andy Brown (Treat Williams), who moves his two children, Delia (Vivien Cardone) and Ephram (Gregory Smith), to the small, idyllic town of Everwood after the death of his wife.

The drama follows the trio as they adjust to their new lives in the quiet, close-knit town, where they make new friends and form romantic relationships.

If you like the cosy and nostalgic small-town vibe of Netflix’s hit romance series Virgin River, then it’s worth checking out Everwood. The show centres around family bonds, grief and navigating small-time life, and has been hailed as both heartwarming and heartbreaking by fans.

What have viewers said about the show?

The series, which holds an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score of 93 per cent, has been hailed by fans as “addictive” and a “hidden gem”.

One person described the series as “a heartfelt rollercoaster of emotions, fun, laughter and heartache,” while another added: “I started watching Everwood at the start of the second season. I cried so hard during that first episode I watched and I knew I was hooked.”
