'The Village' review: NBC's family-driven drama shows how walls deserve to be broken down and love needs to be shared

You may be hesitant to watch 'The Village,' at first, for whatever reasons, but once you do, you will be glad you did.

Emotions are ballooned but not without necessity, so you are spared from tacky sadness, except in one or two instances, but then you overlook that because sadness makes sense in this family driven-drama.
