Um Milhão de Coisas

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 love almost all the characters on the show and their stories. Great acting and very interesting storylines. However I find myself fast forwarding through the Maggie scenes with all her fits and crying and they've made her personality cringeworthy.

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....

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!
