    A weepy wannabe from the "This Is Us" playbook that doesn't build much of a case for caring about the characters, much less weeping over them.

    Getting to the bottom of why Ron took his life should be an interesting pursuit, but not with these folks, who repeatedly speak in clichés--“Ron always said everything happens for a reason”--and often seem tone deaf as they joke flippantly about the suicide.

    The show at once romanticizes and minimizes suicide, which is something art sometimes does. But even worse, it’s all in the service of a slog of a story about irritating and unspecial characters. ... A Million Little Things never finds its way to an authentic moment.

I didn't expect to like this but truly do consider it to be extraordinary television. The NY Times televsion critic hated this show and claimed it romanticized and essentially trivialized suicide. I couldn't disagree more. While the story shares some similarity to the movie, The Big Chill, A Million Little Things is far, far better… Full Review »

It's funny, happy, sad and I cannot wait until each week to see it progress. Everyone is so likable and the chemistry among them all is great. I do love This is Us but I think this show is better.
