	Author	Review

United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"If you're allergic to overt manipulation even in the hands of a reasonably talented cast and thoroughly admirable production values, best to give this one the widest of berths."	NEU

United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"Those who liked the pilot can just expect things to get better (...) There are plenty of stories to be told, and given time, this cast may grow into them"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"The main problem is 'The Village' feels like it's trying too hard -- as if the show was developed specifically to try replicating the warm fuzzies that its lead-in, 'This is Us,' regularly delivers"	NEG
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"Fine performances go a long way to mitigating the corniness the show actively courts."	NEU
