A Million Little Things Season 4 Episode 9
Okay, let's talk A Million Little Things. Specifically, season 4, episode 9. You know, the one that probably made you reach for the tissues...again.
But here's the thing: did anyone else feel like maybe, just maybe, it was a little bit...much?
Delilah's Dilemma (and My Eye Roll)
Delilah. Oh, Delilah. Always with the drama. This time, it involved moving back to France. Cue the collective gasp!
Must Read
Look, I get it. Raising kids is hard, especially after everything she's been through. But the constant back-and-forth? The indecision? It's exhausting, even as a viewer.
Is it just me, or is Delilah always teetering on the edge of a major life crisis?
Gary and Maggie: The Endgame, Hopefully
Alright, let's be real. Gary and Maggie are the heart of the show. Their relationship is complicated, messy, and totally relatable.
Seeing them navigate Gary's cancer scare was... intense. I'm not gonna lie, I shed a tear or two. But did it feel predictable? Just a tad.
I think most of us saw the proposal coming from a mile away.
Rome and Regina: Still the Best Part
Honestly, Rome and Regina are the only reason I haven't completely given up on this show. They bring a sense of groundedness and genuine warmth that's often missing elsewhere.
Their struggles with adoption are heartbreaking and real. They have some of the most authentic scenes.
I’m always rooting for them!
Eddie: The King of Self-Sabotage
Ah, Eddie. Remember when he was the bad boy rocker? Now he's mostly just... sad.
His constant struggle with addiction is a serious issue. But sometimes it feels like he's stuck in a never-ending loop of relapse and redemption.
Can we please give Eddie a win? A real one, that isn't immediately followed by something terrible?
Unpopular Opinion Time
Here it is: I think A Million Little Things sometimes tries too hard to be emotional. The constant barrage of tragedy and heartbreak can feel manipulative.
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate a good cry as much as the next person. But at some point, I need a break from the constant emotional rollercoaster.
Like, can't these people just have a normal, drama-free dinner party? Is that too much to ask?
I know, I know. This show is built on grief and loss. But sometimes I wish they'd explore the lighter side of life a little more.
Maybe show us some genuine joy, without immediately undercutting it with something awful.
So, what did you think of the episode? Am I completely off-base? Or did anyone else find themselves rolling their eyes just a little bit?
Let me know in the comments! Maybe we can all wallow in our feelings (or lack thereof) together.
And please, ABC, give these characters a break!
