A Million Little Things (2018)

A tight-knit group of people (so tight-knit it's actually scary) lose one of their own and the rest is about them grappling to pick up the pieces of their lives after fall-out.

There are a quiet a few feel-good moments, cheesy lines and over the top "I love you"s are somewhat common, and only disproportionately sized house and flats (is everybody they're portraying rich?), but a darn good mix of realism: not everything is a happy ending. Not everybody gets what they want, families aren't perfect despite the facade, but the friendships here are too good.

I didn't find myself screaming at the screen because somebody did something really dumb for no reason, so that alone makes it watchable for me. That's the case at least till episode 10, let's see how the rest turns out.

James Roday and Ron Livingston are two actors that I have a lot of respect for, people whose work that I have enjoyed in the past...so it hurts writing this.

But, let's be honest, this is a dramatization of suicide not unlike 13 Reasons. It doesn't exactly glorify it, but it does send the loud and clear message that killing yourself is a tragic action that makes you deep.

And the actors involved are really above that.

It's probably going to be a hit, the Millennials are going to love it...but honestly, its an overdose of melodrama about how deep people that kill themselves are, and that is all it is.
