It's a tear jerker. It contains bomb drops. But how long can this be sustained? I find each episode full of confusion as to where it is going and then the story weaves together. At some point, this cannot be sustained.

My Goodness... I love this show. I had been waiting for a good tv drama to finally come on. There are so many superhero, action. Out of this world, zombie, apocalyptic, new world order tv shows, that finally we have a tv show we can actually relate to!!!! Good characters, and a good script is all it takes!!! A show about life. Plain and simple. Plus, having watched Milo do such a good job acting on Gilmore Girls certainly peaked my curiosity. I hope This is us, will play for a few years to come too. At least 7 or 8 years. I believe Ken Nolin, who may be a producer or director or writer, ( not sure) also played a part on Thirtysomething, another great tv drama show back in the 80s. FINALLY, something we can relate too! Not over the top Hollywood production. Can you tell I love This Is Us? Good show...♡♥♡
