With cultural surges in sen- sitivity to various social issues, screenwriters have tapped into au- diences' cravings for real human stories that showcase problems people actually face today. For ex- ample, "Jane the Virgin" has dealt with the terrors of having a precari- ous citizenship status, while "The Good Doctor" has commented on mental health and discrimination within the medical field — and there are so many more examples to be found across all networks. Following the trend of portray- ing relevant, down-to-earth story- lines, NBC's new ensemble drama, "The Village," promises to tug at the heartstrings and represent the intimate challenges ordinary peo- ple face by exploring the lives of a diverse set of characters bonded by proximity. The first episode of "The Village" premieres Tuesday, March 19, on the peacock network. The new drama series follows a group of people living in a Brook- lyn apartment complex predictably called The Village. The unlikely community is comprised of people with completely different back- grounds and struggles, and while their individual stories are each ad- dressed in turn, the characters form a crucial support network for one another in a way that breaks down the boundaries and dispa- rate life experiences that divide them. The show has already been widely compared to its fellow NBC prime-time series "This Is Us," thanks to its ensemble format that brings together a sentimentally haphazard host of characters. The characters of "The Village" are seemingly unremarkable in their individual life trajectories but inspiring in their collective forma- tion of chosen family. Frankie Fai- son ("The Wire") and Lorraine Toussaint ("Orange Is the New Black") play Ron and Patricia, an older couple who take on a caring community leadership role and form the "heart and soul of the building," according to an NBC promo. Nick (Warren Christie, "Al- phas") is a troubled war veteran who has recently returned from a tour in Afghanistan and struggles to open up to others; Ava (Moran Atias, "The Resident") is an Iranian immigrant mother desperate to ensure a good life for her son while living in fear of being deported; and Sarah (Michaela McManus, "One Tree Hill") is a single mother whose hands are full with her nurs- ing job and her pregnant teenage daughter.
