This Is Us Season 2 - July 4th

[MadisonAvenue]

Finally! Season 2 starts on July 4th on More4.

Been waiting for this, we haven't been able to find a download of it anywhere.

[Graphista]

Oh and I'm dim cos just learnt Miguel is Javi from castle!!

[FrankiesKnuckle]

Ahhh I started a thread in haste! I was so excited to see it back - I knew it was starting soon and just chanced upon it tonight!

I've already had several lumps in throat...

[NoNeedToArgue]

Can anyone explain the ending of the first episode? Or are we not supposed to quite know yet..?

[NoNeedToArgue]

Graphista - Kate told Kevin before she told Toby that she wimped out of the audition.

[Graphista]

ouch! No wonder Toby pissed off.

I don't think we're supposed to know exactly what's happened at the end of the episode but some of us do cos we've read stuff online.

But within the show no not exactly.

[Choccywoccyhooha]

I think at the end we are to assume that Jack died in a fire at the family home. I had to rewind several times, but as far as I can see Beth has his watch and wedding ring in a bag on the backseat of the car, presumably from the hospital. The children are being comforted by Miguel, except for Kevin who is out with a girl and doesn't know what has happened.

[FrankiesKnuckle]

@NoNeedToArgue Do you want to know yet?
I'm on the FB page for TIU, so I 'kind of' know....

[rockcakesrock]

I have just discovered this tonight. Anyone know where I can watch season 1

[rockcakesrock]

There are spoilers on line but all will be revealed next weeks episode

[Choccywoccyhooha]

Oh no, do I want to look up spoilers or not? I'll try to resist...

[Choccywoccyhooha]

Oh and I meant Rebecca above, not Beth. That would be confusing!

[FrankiesKnuckle]

@rockcakesrock season 1 was on amazon prime I think.

[Graphista]

Just checked - you'd think season 1 would be available on all4 but it's not. I'm guessing the 'owners' wanted too much money from 4 for 4 to do that, as they usually are good on content.

Mind you I fancy trying outlander but season 1 of that not available either.

[Amalfimamma]

@Choccywoccyhooha
(Sorry for the @ )
That's not what happens. It's actually much sadder and much more heart breaking than that.

[Amalfimamma]

@rockcakesrock

Just sent you a link for season 1

[Choccywoccyhooha]

@amalfimamma oh no. Sadder than that? :(

[LadyCassandra]

I've been watching here in Aus. I'm amazed that some of these American shows (Handmaid's Tale is another one) are shown so late in the UK. I suppose its because there are so many good British programmes whereas here there are very few good home-grown programmes.
Series 2 is good, but I feel like with the time-jumps nothing ever moves forward very much!

[Graphista]

LadyCassandra nah telly rubbish here mostly at the moment. Only 3 shows I'm currently watching on normal telly - this. The resident and question time - ah no the last leg! Presented by an Aussie!

[NoNeedToArgue]

Thanks Choccy - I kept rewinding it too but the timeline doesn't make sense... But I shouldn't be surprised by that I guess! This show is so great, but so frustrating!!

[MadisonAvenue]

LadyCassandra there really aren't that many good British TV shows unfortunately.

Great to see it back last night.
So next week is when we find out exactly what happened to Jack? What we saw, so far, last night was heartbreaking.

I'm curious about how long it was after Jack's death that Rebecca got together with Miguel...I don't think that's ever been said? I'm wondering if the timing explains why Randall and Kevin had issues with him on occasions in S1.

[Graphista]

Yep

Eg it's 9pm on a weeknight, on 4 of the 5 main channels are documentaries - this is historically for uk tv when there's a 'good drama' on.

The only 2 channels showing British dramas are showing very old repeats - they're rarely made and series are max 10 episodes.

American dramas are well written, paced and acted, last up to 24 episodes per series giving you a chance to properly "get into" them.

[Amalfimamma]

@Choccywoccyhooha

Yup.

The writers are smart CF who tease you all season with one possible ending, throw you into the middle of it on the 1st episode of the 2nd season but make you play the long game, I'm glad I binge watched both seasons tbh as the suspense would have killed me.


And the tears would have still been flowing

[MakeItStopNeville]

It's really crap until about the last 3 episodes!

[SpinMill]

Just caught up in the first episode, think I'm going to get back into it pretty easily. Tryi g to decide whether to Google spoilers or not!

[ArieltheMermaid1720]

Just watched the first episode of season 2, I had forgotten how much I hate Toby.
