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....

The first episode was as promised...an emotional drama. I was tearing up almost immediately. I felt compelled to write this review because of the negative reviews I'm reading on other sites. I think this show is deeper than it seems on the surface. It does focus on a touchy subject, suicide, but it is something for which we could all use a better understanding. I think too often we are caught up in our own worlds to see what's going on around us. There are many people silently suffering and living behind a facade of fake smiles and glitter. You never know what someone is going through. Hopefully this show opens peoples eyes, hearts and lines of communication about emotions and depression.

I watched this show based on my love of "Psych" and "weeds", but I was extremely surprised and excited to find such a heartfelt and warm show for this fall. It's new idea of mental health gives accurate,representation of today's current struggles with the everyday person along with finding family in the people you stumble across in life. I truly believe in this show and hope it continues. Stunningly beautiful.

So good! It is a drama so definitely need tissues but I expected that. So bad reviews have mentioned 13 Reasons Why and This is Us as comparisons. Yes it is a drama like This Is Us and talks about suicide like 13 Reasons Why but it is a completely different show then those in my opinion. Everything happens for a reason and we are sure to find out all the reasons throughout the season! I'm excited to keep watching!

Honestly, I love this show. I loved it from the trailer. I dont understand why so many people are giving it low ratings. Honestly, this is how people talk. All the awkward poses, all the awkward writing... If you actually listen carefully to how people speak, you'll realize that this show catches that at best. I love it. Will continue to watch it. Hopefully it gets even better.
