This is Us - TV Show


Standard Synopsis
Jack and his wife -- who is very pregnant with triplets -- have just moved into their new home in Pittsburgh. Successful and handsome television actor Kevin is growing increasingly bored with his bachelor lifestyle. Randall -- who was abandoned at a fire station by his father as an infant -- is a stylish New York-based businessman working to raise two daughters with his wife, Beth. These people are among a group, several of whom share a birthday, of seemingly random individuals whose lives intertwine in unexpected ways.

This show premiered in September 2016 on NBC and hands-down I think it's one of the best TV shows I've seen so far. I didn't know I could be this moved and have my emotions manipulated so much by watching a TV show until I started watching this show.

Quality/VX - It’s emotional, messy, classy, crazy… it’s everything you want to see in a show and much more. Tragic things happen, happy things happen, some characters bond with long-lost relatives, others lose long-lost partners. You can relate to almost every character in the show, especially the triplets Randal, Kate and Kevin. It celebrates the ordinariness of family life, while emphasizing little moments that make big impacts in family. The actors playing the characters, from the oldest to the youngest, display quite superb acting, and although they’re quite experienced actors having featured in past movies or shows, they still show off extra-ordinary acting that portray discipline as well as class.

The Negative – I really can’t think of any. It's that good.

Graphics – Low. Little to no sex and/or violence. Some use of marijuana in Season 1 but not explicitly shown or specifically named. Should be rated 14+

Profanity – Low.

Overall – 9.5/10. Really great show, highly recommended if you’re looking for a feel-good, really-feel-bad (hah!), really exciting show.
