Another person said it was refreshing to see The Big Brunch normalize men openly and honestly expressing emotion on TV.
There are a lot of reasons I like Dan Levy's show the Big Brunch, which normalizes so many things that ought to already be normal. My personal favorite is showing men express emotion through tears. Everyone feels feels. Everyone cries, regardless of gender.
