EPISODE
The Village - Season 1
It is a series of powerful drama that we live in differently with a group of people who live in a unique residential building in Brooklyn. Events begin through this to confuse those people who face the challenges of life better together to build a family of friends and neighbors. It was not strange, especially since these people differed in terms of age, race, culture and way of life. The more challenges there are, the more entanglement there is between them.

This Is Us is a notably well-acted and tonally consistent series. "The Village," by contrast, veers all over the map and does not boast actors capable of selling all of the lines they're given.

The series is so artificially dolorous that it wouldn't surprise me to learn that The Village is actually an alien space vessel powered exclusively by the rending of hearts and jerking of tears.

The Village feels like it's trying too hard -- as if the show was developed specifically to try replicating the warm fuzzies that its lead-in, "This is Us," regularly delivers.

It will have to take a little bit more than attempting to induce tears to be as impactful as the series that it is getting compared to.

It's the type of Village that welcomes you with open arms - and should score lots of points with viewers of every stripe.

The writers of "Village" make the mistake of confusing emotion with quality. It's not enough just to feel; you have to do something with those feelings, too.

Blatantly manipulative, "The Village" rarely earns the emotional responses it so assiduously attempts to wring out of viewers.
March 14, 2019
Treacly, by-the-numbers prime-time tear-jerker that even Brooklyn and a good cast can't elevate. And viewers won't mind in the least.

Maybe The Village will be the last of the This Is Us clones for awhile. At least we hope it will be.
