    It's a story well-acted and well-told, its cast folding together like fingers in a glove.

    Give the show credit for not dragging its heels. ... Watching Jon's circle of survivors--men and women, friends and spouses--as they pick up the pieces should make for some memorable TV. [15-28 Oct 2018, p.9]

    If you believe in the treacle-down theory when it comes to NBC’s rip-roaring success with “This Is Us,” then you’re ready for ABC’s drama about the emotional entanglements of a group of four Boston men (Ron Livingston, Romany Malco, David Giuntoli and James Roday) feeling all the feels that bros can feel when their best bro jumps from his skyscraper office balcony in the middle of a workday, without leaving a note. A Million Little Things comes on a tad too strong in its setup.

    This is an at times affecting but too often overwrought drama series.

    Call it feel-bad feel-good TV, or uncomfortable comfort food. And, more often than not, Things is a little comforting.

    Powerful and poignant and a million times better than This Is Us which is pure schmalz that is unintentionally funny in its over the topPowerful and poignant and a million times better than This Is Us which is pure schmalz that is unintentionally funny in its over the top melodrama. 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. I love how each character has their own story and then the stories come together with the group. Just a really, really great show.… Full Review »
