EPISODE
The Village - Season 1
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.

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

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.

Maybe The Village will be the last of the This Is Us clones for awhile. At least we hope it will be.
March 18, 2019
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.

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.
March 19, 2019
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 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.
March 14, 2019
Blatantly manipulative, "The Village" rarely earns the emotional responses it so assiduously attempts to wring out of viewers.
March 19, 2019
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.
