'The Village' preview: The important family lessons we learned from NBC's upcoming drama even before its premiere

Snippets from interviews gave us an insight into the lessons we learn from the show and an exclusive with Michaela McManus only proved that the message is preached and practiced

'The Village,' premiering on March 19 on NBC may have a little buzz going on right now, but it's an impactful one. Revolving around the theme of family, the heartwarming story which will take over the time slot for the much-beloved show, 'This Is Us,' is assuring enough to not only be a revolutionary show in its own simple ways but also show what it means to have a family.

The crux of it is explained by Nick Porter's (Warren Christie) story. Nick is a war veteran returning from Afghanistan, and restarting his life in a residential Brooklyn building along with all major characters we will meet. At first, he just does not understand the family dynamics and believes that everybody is coming to mind his business, however, he eventually understands what it means to be a part of the family. In a recent interview, Warren talks about Nick; "It’s a bit hard for him at first. Eventually, they all start to wear him down, and try and help lift him up and help him heal."
