A Million Little Things

It's a story well-acted and well-told, its cast folding together like fingers in a glove.

This is an at times affecting but too often overwrought drama series.

Each twist can potentially upset the direction that the show seems to be heading in and instead create something profound. But for now, it feels like a well-orchestrated attempt to force melodrama into meaning while hooking viewers with an icky sense of ghoulish curiosity.

The soapy drama turns out to be a bit too much, and if that’s what the creators think is necessary to sustain the show, it might hint at structural flaws that a TV series can’t overcome.

It's a good ensemble, but the whole exercise feels too conspicuously like a throwback to a certain kind of ABC drama that, frankly, has seen better days, and which has begun yielding diminishing returns.

There are a million other things you could be watching instead.

The show at once romanticizes and minimizes suicide, which is something art sometimes does. But even worse, it’s all in the service of a slog of a story about irritating and unspecial characters. ... A Million Little Things never finds its way to an authentic moment.

This is my ABSOLUTE favorite show on primetime television. It is very relatable, at least it is to me, and can be funny at sometimes. I will say that you do have to follow the series episode by episode religiously or else you won't get it. I have been good about following the series, so as long as you do that, you'll absolutely love the show. That is really the only reason I didn't give it a 10.
