NBC's 'The Village' looks to capture 'This is Us' fans, but will they bite?

Three seasons in, 'This is Us' continues to be loved and revered by fans, and NBC is definitely looking to copy some of its magic with their upcoming show, 'The Village'

For decades now, television networks have tried wooing people with dramas that involve conflict, unrealistic plot-lines and morally corrupt characters. There have also been shows that dwell on the other end of the spectrum, where everything is hunky-dory and real-life problems are brushed under the carpet. In recent years though, the American public (even the world) has proved to be reeled in by more realistic portrayals of life, which is a theme NBC's 'This is Us' took to a whole new level.

Taking on the notion, no human being is inherently evil, and that everyone is pursuing to live the best version of their truth, 'This is Us' proved diversity, representation and honesty are all great qualities for a television show. Three seasons in, it continues to be beloved and revered by the fans, and NBC is definitely looking to copy some of its magic with their upcoming show, 'The Village.'
