It is a series of various dramatic events that we live with residents of a unique residential building in Brooklyn. The events of this series begin with the lives of these people whose lives are intertwined from time to time. These people see that the more everyday they are, the more their lives are intertwined to build a family of friends and neighbors. Perhaps it is good, especially when we know that there is a difference in age, race, culture and lifestyle among these people.
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.
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.
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.
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.
