'The Village': NBC's family drama showcases powerful leading women who know exactly how to run the world
The trailer of 'The Village' took us on an emotional journey when it was released, and while we know what to expect now from NBC's upcoming drama (a lot of sad tears and happy ones), the show has a standout factor, unlike any other — strong female matriarchs.
The family drama is definitely fraught with real-world issues, such as PTSD, ICE threat, ageism and more, but they have looped in strong leading ladies to tackle all this. The described "matriarch" of the residential building, which is called 'The Village', is Lorraine Toussaint’s character, Patricia. She is a social worker and a go-to person for everyone in the building. Her loving relationship with her husband Ron is evident in the posters and trailers released, where he tells her, "You're an organ in my body, woman. If you fail, I fail."
