Wednesday Series of the Week: A Million Little Things

A group of friends struggling through life get a wake-up call to finally start living, following the unexpected death of one of their friends.

You keep seeing A Million Little Things being mentioned on social media. You keep reading about the cast being nominated for awards. And of course, you have that one friend who just won’t stop telling you how emotional, compelling, and just plain good the best new show of the season is.

Friendship isn’t a big thing – it’s a million little things.

A Million Little Things tackles some big issues, but much like you and your friends being able to joke about the hard times you’ve shared together, this is a show about a group of friends and the ways they come together and lift each other up when they encounter the many challenges that life throws their way. There are tears, sure, but this group uses humour and love to help each other get through it all, and they come out on the other side in ways that are incredibly cathartic to watch, leaving you inspired. Somehow, the writers manage to accomplish all of this without the show being cheesy. It’s a delicate tightrope, and this show walks it well.

A Million Little Things features a decent ensemble cast and a few intriguing elements, this one is for you. Season 1 is currently streaming on Showmax with season 2 on the way!

This is what our Voxies thought of A Million Little Things:

“Friendship isn’t a big thing – it’s a million little things.” – Frank Ross, Braintree Consultant: Sharepoint and Microsoft Online Services.

Wednesday Series of the Week: Designated Survivor

Designated Survivor is an American political thriller and drama television series created by David Guggenheim. The series stars Keifer Sutherland (best known as Jack Bouwer in 24) as Thomas Kirkman, an American politician and chosen designated survivor for the State of the Union address.

Viewers can anticipate major drama in the show’s pilot. Kirkman is home with his family and next thing the Secret Service busts down his door and drags him to the White House to be sworn in as President of the United States of America.

I love this show because I feel like a fly on the wall in the White House!

Sure, the show has a far-out premise, but the suspenseful plot gets your adrenaline pumping. It’s also fun to watch Sutherland navigate a role where he can’t rely on his fighting skills!

Designated Survivor has a host of recognizable faces in the supporting cast. You might recognize Maggie Q from Nikita Fame and Natasha McElhone from Californication.

Verdict: Designated Survivor is both disturbing and riveting and well worth watching! Since it’s on Netlfix, you can find all the seasons available on the platform with another on its way.
