    Heartwarming and uplifting. Potential to grow into a brilliant series. The ensemble cast all add value individually and in the story as a whole. I am excited to see how the story unfolds.

    There’s room for optimism, because there are plenty of stories to be told, and given time, this cast may grow into them. It’s a low-key sort of fantasy, the idea of one-time strangers becoming a found family in an urban jungle. But fantasy stories have a way of feeding the soul.

    Fine performances go a long way to mitigating the corniness the show actively courts.

    If that actually does sound like a reason you watch TV [to cry uncontrollably for an hour every week], then The Village has been precision-designed in a laboratory for your pleasure. If, however, you're allergic to overt manipulation even in the hands of a reasonably talented cast and thoroughly admirable production values, best to give this one the widest of berths. It's a never-ending hamster wheel of tears.
