It's a story about an urban apartment building where the residents bond together. Yes, it is a sentimental piece about 'the village'.
That said, the writers have done a great job. Touching on hot button issues in the pilot episode. The returning cripple veteran who gets thanked for his 'service'. The senior who witnessed another passing away. The nurse who is a single mother with a pregnant teenage daughter. The immigrant mother being arrested by immigration officers.
I liked it because it has 'heart'.
