A Million Little Things

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
