A Million Little Things

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....

But rather about adult depression, not feeling whole or enough, with emotions and thoughts and fears which you don't share even with the ones closest to you, pretending to be happy but feeling alone and hopeless inside. If you are an adult, not like legally adult but been through some stuff throughout your life, you will definitely find someting here. I would have definitely binged this one if there were more episodes.

The first season was good but the second season was amazing! I hope this show has a long life!

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.

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.
