The programme Sweet Magnolias, which is currently streaming on Netflix, has managed to captivate major portions of the streaming giant’s large audience since the show released. And, that’s with a very good reason, as the series – which is based on the novels of the same name by Sherryl Woods – mixes the small town attraction of shows like Hart of Dixie as well as Gilmore Girls, with the drama of Virgin River in addition to the sweet romance of a Hallmark movie.

The series is based on Sweet Magnolias books, which were penned by Sheryl Woods. The movies were made into the Netflix series.
