This series offers a wide range of dramatic events that we live through the residents of a unique residential building in Brooklyn who provide a model for building a family of friends and neighbors. Despite the different age, race, culture and lifestyle, these people argue that the challenges of everyday life and circumstances make their relationship between each other stronger and deeper. These people 's relationships overlap to provide a different way of life.
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.
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.
