This is us Prime is amazing and is it normal

to cry during every episode 😬. Love every character only on series 1 still so please no spoilers.

It's good isn't Stray at 😁

I just love Jack 😁

.

I started rewatching (again) from the very first episode while cooking dinner yesterday.
By bedtime I was on episode 6

I didn't like Toby either but he's def grown on me and stepped up in my opinion 👍🏻 @MaisieMaisie

I find rebecca really hard to like 😕

I'm up to series 4 and this is by far the best series I've ever watched. It just gets better and better. And yes every episode makes me cry!

I can't hear Jack saying "Katie Girl" without blubbing. This Is Us and Outlander are worth my Prime membership alone.

It's the best thing on TV. I cry all the time!

Huge fan too! Randall is by far my favourite character

To be honest I am struggling a little with Kate. She is very very large and doesn't seem to be able to shift the weight either on the series or in real life. It really isn't healthy

New series! Yippee!
Enjoy all...

Yes the crying is a standing joke between me and my friends. Sets us all off. Sometimes I think I've escaped an episode then something will happen to set me off right at the very end. It's strange because I'm not sentimental at all. I think the last time I cried outside of This is Us was when I was about 7

I got an email saying that series 4 was on Amazon Prime and already watched 3 episodes.
Was very confused by the 3 new characters in episode 1.....until the end of that episode. 😉
Love the little funny comments between characters, wonder how far forward into the future they're going to push it??!

Could anyone give me an idea as to what it is about? I haven't seen it or even heard about it.

Omg it is the best thing ever. It is about a wonderful family. And life. Go now and watch it.

I watched it all and loved it! Didn't know there was a season 4! Off to watch it now.

I also loved Parenthood, similar feel different characters (obviously! )

It's a family drama/saga thing but it skips back and forward between the lives of the parents with their young children, and the lives of their children as adults. It is strangely gripping, though I have given up after two seasons.

Best show ever. Now we have season 4 on Amazon prime it is just getting better
To those who have never seen it a truly wonderful journey awaits you. Enjoy

When will we get season 5?

Season 4?

Well that's the last the family will see of me for a few days.

Looking forward to season 4 now.

It is very sickly, though.

Love Toby and Kate's relationship, though not really Kate as a standalone character.

Love kid Randall and adult Kevin.

Dislike adult Randall and teenage Kevin.

Rebecca is marmite and Jack is only forgiven his faults because he's dead.

But I still love it.

I can find things with every character that strikes a chord with me. Can’t not cry when I watch it. I love all the layers to it, you watch a scene and then later on see it from another angle or point of view.

@Danglingmod I think that’s it’s appeal. The characters aren’t black and white, one moment you hate a character the next you can see why they are like they are and have sympathy.

Yes, even my summary above wasn't very nuanced. Even within the same time period, different episodes switch your sympathy between, say, kid Kevin and kid Randall.

In season three, though, I started to get really annoyed at how little of Kate's story between 18-now we've seen. It's all been about the boys and fleshing out their back stories (and Jack's). Still a great show, though.

I was up early yesterday morning and discovered the new series but DD woke up when I was only 20 minutes in to the first episode...
I managed to watch the end of episode one, all of 2 and the start of episode 3 before anyone woke up this morning!
I was trying to explain to DH why I love it so much and he just couldn't get over "what, you cry every episode about something?!".
Someone earlier said that it's the way that you see the same part of their lives from another point of view and I think that's exactly it...
