![]() ![]() So … Chekhov’s video camera? I’ve seen enough of this series to know exactly how it’s going to end: With everyone sitting around watching and crying over one of Gary’s videos after he has passed. Maggie, meanwhile, is seven months pregnant with her and Gary’s baby, and Gary is videotaping messages for the baby periodically in case he dies. The episode cuts to a funeral seven months later, and though we are initially led to believe that Gary has died, it’s actually his father. The premiere kicks off with Gary going through cancer treatment with his father (Paul Rodriguez) at his side. Ultimately, it’s why I probably won’t continue watching the rest of the season. He cannot beat it, he can only hope to contain it. He has a chronic form of lung cancer, which can be kept at bay through treatment but it cannot be eradicated. However, Gary also has cancer again, only now it’s in his lung and it is permanent, although not necessarily terminal. Maggie’s breast cancer returned, and she beat it again. Maggie and Gary, meanwhile, both had breast cancer and beat it. When he wasn’t paralyzed, he was in rehab. Meanwhile, Regina - Rome’s wife - suffered a head injury while protesting during a Black Lives Matter march and it was so debilitating, she had to shut down her restaurant (she now operates a food truck and takes care of their foster son).Įddie is in a wheelchair because he was hit by a car. Rome’s mom, Renee, died of an aneurysm while she was getting her hair done now Rome’s father is experiencing the early stages of dementia. One of his best friends, Rome (Romany Malco), has also been battling severe depression and has suffered several setbacks. It’s the only trick creator DJ Nash seems to have: “What should we do with this character now? Oh, I know! How about a diagnosis?!”Ī quick recap: The pilot episode is about the suicide of John Dixon (Ron Livingston). The entire series is about a friend group who have maxed out the premiums on their health insurance because someone is always sick or dying on this show. There’s a great cast here (James Roday Rodriguez and Alison Miller, in particular), but the problem with A Million Little Things is that it’s a medical drama without a hospital. ![]() Having checked in with the fifth season premiere, I remember exactly why I quit (other than the fact that the writing is bad). That point arrived for A Million Little Things early in season three. At a certain point with a series like this, however, either the traffic wanes or the show becomes more difficult to watch than it’s worth - or both - and I bail, save for the occasional check-in. ![]() A Million Little Things is one of those series - like Riverdale and (for one season) La Brea that I watch because the recaps generate a fair amount of traffic. ![]()
