'The Village' Season 1 preview: NBC's upcoming drama proves that simple can be revolutionary

'The Village' is already drawn comparisons with 'This Is Us' mainly because of the similar premise of dealing with real-world problems
PUBLISHED FEB 16, 2019

'The Village' creator Mike Daniels said in a recent interview that a simple family TV show can become something "revolutionary" when talking about the upcoming NBC show slated to premiere on March 19. 

Describing 'The Village' to be a "grounded" show with an underlying sense of "hopefulness," Daniels added that it's a "little strange that it kind of feels revolutionary right now." The premise of 'The Village' is very simple and it revolves around different families living together in a residential building in Brooklyn. All characters are as ordinary as peculiar, from a single mother raising a pregnant teen to a war veteran who is finally getting a taste of what it feels like to belong to a family. Given the fast-paced world we live in, a TV show as simple and organic, and that talks about human connections and sense of community, becomes extremely necessary.
