Open Range 327 554 S1 - DISH S2 - DirecTV 1 PM 1:30 2 PM 2:30 3 PM 3:30 4 PM 4:30 5 PM 5:30 6 PM 6:30 S1 S2 All of these threads are full of potential for a complex and inter- esting narrative, but it's Patricia, a social worker, who acts as the show's center of gravity. In an in- terview with Entertainment Weekly, Toussaint describes her character as "people driven, heart driven, sort of the den mother" to whom other residents come with their joys and troubles. It's largely through her that all the storylines intersect, and even Nick, the most emotionally damaged individual of the group, begins to warm up to the concept of having a make- shift family. By having one charac- ter orchestrate the emotional ca- tharsis of the show, showrunners have created a self-sufficient fic- tional community that sets the stage for a slice-of-life series. At the 2019 SCAD aTVfest, show creator Mike Daniels talked about how the organic simplicity of the characters' lives is a central aspect of "The Village." "It feels a little strange that that kind of feels revolutionary right now, to sell a show that's about commu- nity, and about love, and about hope." In anticipation of the series pre- miere, NBC has taken a step out- side the box to promote the show in an appropriately creative way. Large crocheted hearts have been placed in public spaces around some U.S. cities, sometimes ac- companied by the words "love is the thread that connects us all." The public has even been jumping on the bandwagon by posting snaps of themselves in front of their local hearts on social media. On Feb. 20, Daniels tweeted a pic- ture of a crochet heart on a bill- board for "The Village" and wrote, "Step 1: we blanketed an anxious nation in hearts. Step 2: we re- store a little faith in humanity. Tune in?" Showrunners have made no se- cret of the fact that they are gear- ing up for an emotional ride, and they aren't afraid to delve into some deeply personal and even controversial subjects in "The Vil- lage." Without revealing too much about the characters, the network has positioned the show to be a sentimental but unflinch- ing look at some of the hard truths and heartbreaking choices of human life, as well as the heal- ing powers that a loving commu- nity can provide. Hold on to your heartstrings and tune in to the se- ries premiere of "The Village," air- ing Tuesday, March 19, on NBC. Frankie Faison stars in "The Village"
