I love it and season three is on Amazon prime now.
But Mandy Moore"s character really irritates me sometimes! Like she's so entitled or something. Can't put my finger on it

DH found the first half of season 4 for me. I'm off work ill this week, so I'll get some of it watched Smile

@BettysLeftTentacle that is explained later on (I won't spoil it for you), so don't worry you aren't left hanging!

I still can't work out what is present day and what is the past. That's one of the things I love about This Is Us. It's so clever and intricate. IMHO it puts to shame a lot of current UK progs.

I’ve always thought the soundtrack is wonderfully put together too.

Just coming back to say that I watched the episode last night with Nicky and explaining what really went on in Vietnam - now I feel bad for previously moaning about all of the Vietnam scenes Grin

I’m watching but fast forwarding the Vietnam stuff... 😳.

I agree most of the characters are pretty annoying but still grips me and I love the soundtrack.

And Beth And Young Rebecca’s clothes

Just finished season 3 and I guessed the ending (wont spoil) I love this is us!!! All the characters are so nuanced- except maybe rebecca? But I think many moore is stunning as 70's rebecca.
I adore Beth and the girl who played college beth was the absolute image of her. I wondered if they're related?
As someone me mentioned I love how all the characters have good and bad. So realistic. Was sobbing at the hospital scenes. Don't know anyone who watches. I want season 4 now !!

Oh and I love Vietnam Nicky. Obviously not the dark stuff but amazing acting all round.
British tv just doesn't come close

So glad there is finally a thread on this.. thought I was the only one watching! I love This Is Us despite finding it a bit cheesy sometimes - there were points in this series where the sheer numner of 'speaking from the heart monologues' started to do my head in, but overall I loved it (especially Jack..)

I love this series and don't understand why it isn't more popular either! One more episode of season 3 to go. Really hope I don't have to wait too long for S4.

Think Randall is my favourite character. Do spend a lot of episodes watching closely, trying to work out how they have aged everyone though 😂

I love This Is Us. Currently half way through S3. I feel sorry for Rebecca as a mum, she was just trying to do her best in the most awful situation, Kate especially has been very hard on her, glad to see her softening towards her a bit now.

purplerunner DH was shocked when I revealed that Rebecca is younger than us! The make up is good!

Oh I've found my people. I love love love This Is Us. Watched all of season 3 over Xmas and now rewatching from season 1 again (because I'm a saddo). Love Jack and Randall. Not fond of Toby, find him too passive aggressive

I secretly have a bit of a crush on Kevin, partly because of his coat 😳

Trying not to post spoilers but I thought the way Randall greated "her" at the end was quite telling with regards where her story goes in the future Sad

I’m now at the stage where I just have the last episode of season 3 to watch, but am putting off watching it as I don’t want it to end Grin and then have to wait ages for season 4

Yes, I succumbed and watched the last episode last night. Interesting!!

It’s one of my favourite shows at the moment, I’m on episode 13.

Might have to try to find S4 soon. I loved the episode focusing on Beth’s backstory.

Randal and Beth are my favourites. And maybe Jack.

Well I just finished the last episode of season 3, having made the last few episodes last as long as possible (except the Randall/Beth saga, bloody hell I was glued to that one).
Glad we've found a few more of our people but I am confused a bit about the end, but I can't really say why without spoilers.
From pp's, I was expecting a twist at the end of the last episode but we saw who we were expecting to, didn't we? Or did I miss something?
Not even sure anyone can answer, maybe I should just Google..

@hudyerwheesht - I think the person IN the bed is who we thought, it was the person NEXT to the bed that was a surprise.

hudyerwheesht · 27/01/2020 13:14

Ah, I see, gotcha!
I think my head was spinning with the new information (who was there,who wasn't,etc) to take that in properly.

Just finished series 3 on Prime. I was getting a bit worried about Randall & Beth towards the end.
Yes, person by Rebecca's bed was a surprise, I wonder how the story will lead to that.
Kevin is certainly getting finer as the series goes on 🥰
Now to search for series 4!

MadamePewter · 29/01/2020 16:41

Intriguing! I must watch the rest of series three though fast forwarding the Vietnam stuff as I find it really dull

LadyShrek2k19 · 30/01/2020 10:56

@MadamePewter - if you forward through too much, you might miss some pertinent stuff, would be my only watch out.
I actually found the Vietnam stuff super interesting!

I've just finished series 3... loved it! Patiently waiting for 4 now...

I am only on Series 1, episode 3, so a newbie and I have avoided reading the full thread for fear of spoilers! But, yes, it is excellent so far and makes me cry too, which is unusual for me with programmes. Bombshell on this one is the Mother meeting William unexpectedly and her being married to Miguel. Obviously wondering where Dad is! Kate and boyfriend are lovely so far too.

I started to watch this in Canada from season 1 and was hooked. Best tv series I have ever watched. Season 4 started in September in Us and Canada . Has anyone any idea when it’s on in the Uk? For anyone who has never seen it you are in for a real treat.
