EPISODE
The Village - Season 1
This series offers a wide range of dramatic events that we live through the residents of a unique residential building in Brooklyn who provide a model for building a family of friends and neighbors. Despite the different age, race, culture and lifestyle, these people argue that the challenges of everyday life and circumstances make their relationship between each other stronger and deeper. These people 's relationships overlap to provide a different way of life.

It's the type of Village that welcomes you with open arms - and should score lots of points with viewers of every stripe.

It will have to take a little bit more than attempting to induce tears to be as impactful as the series that it is getting compared to.

The writers of "Village" make the mistake of confusing emotion with quality. It's not enough just to feel; you have to do something with those feelings, too.

The Village feels like it's trying too hard -- as if the show was developed specifically to try replicating the warm fuzzies that its lead-in, "This is Us," regularly delivers.

Treacly, by-the-numbers prime-time tear-jerker that even Brooklyn and a good cast can't elevate. And viewers won't mind in the least.

Blatantly manipulative, "The Village" rarely earns the emotional responses it so assiduously attempts to wring out of viewers.

This Is Us is a notably well-acted and tonally consistent series. "The Village," by contrast, veers all over the map and does not boast actors capable of selling all of the lines they're given.

The series is so artificially dolorous that it wouldn't surprise me to learn that The Village is actually an alien space vessel powered exclusively by the rending of hearts and jerking of tears.

Maybe The Village will be the last of the This Is Us clones for awhile. At least we hope it will be.
