A Million Little Things

This is a very empathic, forgiving show about the hurdles we all face in life. The narrative tricks you here and there to make you see your own judgments and then shows a compassionate way forward. It's very unique in how it makes you consider different view points and how people in pain react to life's challenges. In some ways it's a little saccharine but overall you feel the love the writers intended. In that way it's a very unique show that seems mundane on the surface but it actually quite wise and kind. I was surprised by the journey this show took me on and I wish there were more shows like it.

Show is off to a good start. A couple moments are a little rough but James Roday really carried the pilot. Excited for more to come

I have mixed feelings about the show. Overall I felt most of the acting fell flat. I did however really enjoy James Roday and his character. He was my favorite by far. I'll be tuning in for the next episode.

I am a huge fan of James Roday and watched the show for him. The first two seasons were pretty good. However, I finally quit watching mid-season 4. I am a liberal and all for acknowledgement of social issues/problems - but pick one or two and entwine them into a deeper story line which has substance.

Sadly, this show is trying to cover EVERY social issue, which makes for shallow, sanctimonious plots. So far they have covered: suicide; cancer; homosexuality; immigration; military PTSD; sexual abuse; addiction/alcoholism; COVID; racism; police violence; etc etc etc.... It's too much.... Entertain me - don't bombard me with every social injustice or problem in the world. That is what the news is for.

Sorry, James. As awesome as you are, I will stick to watching you on Psych....

Went into this show expecting an updated version of The Big Chill. I grew up with that movie and soundtrack in our house and wanted to feel that connection my parents felt to that movie. The show is beautiful and tragic but I think the glue holding it together is James Roday. He gets it and he has "it". His scenes feel so real and grounded that I find myself wanting more of his storyline. I am excited to see how this show is able to carry over a whole season and I am hopeful Roday has some nominations coming his way.
