This is Us starts on Tuesday

[EachandEveryone]

9pm Channel 4 i need another Americam drama after the disappointing start to The Affair and let down of Divorce www.metacritic.com/tv/this-is-us

I am still enjoying this, although in this week's episode it struck me that it hasn't really moved on much. We still don't know what happened to Jack although I guess the glimpse at the end means we might find out next week...did look like they were teens.

Yes but how many episodes is it in now? I don't give it much time. It's trying to be Parebthood/Brothers and Sisters but they were far more superior we actually cared for the characters and neither of them survived on UK tv. I'd love to know the ratings for this.

ArriettyClock1 are you catching up on recordings, or watching on RTE? Just the seatbelt extender episode was a while ago

I think this weeks was episode 13.

I don't really know where it's going do you?

I don't either. It's just about their lives at 30 and how they deal with it; and how their childhood affect them. I like it, especially as the childhood seems fairly innocuous.

So how where will season 2 go? I don't know how much I can invest in it after this one.

Cocky horse boy

Glad Kate yelled in class

I thought middle teens when died so 14/16

Wasn't dad really drinking then?

I think there's 3 series of it!

TizzyDongue, I am watching it via Kodi streaming, so waaaay behind.

I loved this weeks episode. I watched last night.
So many great emotional parts.
Randall and his dad driving the car,
Dad vogueing with Kate at her party,
Kate shouting in her class,
Toby giving Kevin the chat about love in the bar,
The teens at their dads funeral.

I love it more each week.

I thought this week was good.

Its taken me an embarrassingly long time to figure out the dad is Jess from Gilmore Girls.

Milo is the reason I began to watch it. Milo and Sterling.

I have no idea who/ what the Gilmore Girls is, but I am enjoying This Is Us. Lol.

Not sure why people are sobbing through every episode though?! I haven't cried yet.

I'm not sobbing but I do find it emotional to watch.

I've just caught up with the latest episode and I struggled to watch it

I started watching it as I have a bit of a thing for Milo.... but the storyline surrounding his character is really getting me down. I lost my dad suddenly in my teens and it's resonating with me a bit too well - I've just spent the past hour trying to stop myself blubbing then the last scene at the funeral did me in

Badtaste.
It's ok to have a good cry and remember your dad.
Hope you're ok

Aw thank you ihate

Yes I'm ok thank you, it's a long time ago that it happened so getting so emotional about it caught me out a bit ...

Did Sophie say that she hadn't seen her ex husband for 12 years, but they're 30? So they married really young?

Yes, agree they were teens. Also think that their mum is holding hands with Miguel at the funeral......

I think the series started on their 36th birthdays, but yes she did say 12 years.

I didn't notice the holding hands thing - I need to see it again now!

So married at 24. Anyone else expecting Rebecca/Emily Brothers and Sisters/Revenge to turn up? It's so her thing.

I thought Jack was going to drop dead last night!

And yes youre right they turned 36!

I really dislike Toby. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but he is just irritating.

Obviously I don't know what will pan out etc and the horse guy is a dick too but I hope it shows Kate that she doesn't have to settle for someone not quite right just because someone likes her.

I love Toby! Kind, warm, funny, what's not to like?

Ohhh, I love Toby, though he was a dick last night. In fact, I thought that last night's episode should have been titled "Men are dicks." Toby gatecrashing Kate's retreat, Kevin expecting Sophie to just fall back in love when it suits him, Randall being grumpy and horse guy being a douche.
