If I liked This Is Us

What else might I like? I am fully up to date with This Is Us, having binge watched four and a half series in three weeks. I like that it is a story, with flawed characters and that it is feel good in parts.

I should say that we have Netflix and Amazon prime but not any of the sky channels.

This Is Us is really in a league of its own imo

Veuvestar · 10/03/2021 19:53

Did you watch Brothers and Sisters?

cameocat · 10/03/2021 19:56

Firefly lane.

Also second brothers and sisters

WellTidy · 10/03/2021 19:59

Thanks - I haven’t seen either of them. I might try Firefly Lane first as it is shorter!

Another vote for Brothers and Sisters, same writer and also it has Rob Lowe, reason enough for watching if you ask me Wink

cameocat · 10/03/2021 20:07

Beware that the ending is a bit abrupt! Ready for season 2 I guess...

@unkindnessofravens God I used to fancy him back in the day.

Veuvestar · 10/03/2021 20:17

Back in the day?
Code Black, Parks and Rec, 911-lone star- he still looks amazing!

unkindnessofravens · 10/03/2021 20:27

@Veuvestar agreed, although he's never looked better than as Sam Seaborn in the West Wing for me

Cupcakegirl13 · 10/03/2021 20:32

Ooo yes Brothers and Sisters I love that almost as much as This Is Us

CannotOperateOnThisFailure · 10/03/2021 20:34

Parenthood. Same stable as Brothers & Sisters and This is Us. Also Six Feet Under.

Wtfdidwedo · 10/03/2021 20:35

Yes Firefly Lane is quite similar in terms of flashbacks and characters but This Is Us is one on its own I think.

Youngblood 1985. Amazing.

Sarcobaleno · 10/03/2021 21:16

There's a film called Life Itself made by the This Is Us team.

IsItTimeForGinYet · 12/03/2021 06:42

Offspring on Netflix!

LutherRalph1 · 12/03/2021 06:44

I love This is Us and really enjoyed Modern Love on Amazon. Not the same but liked them both

WellTidy · 12/03/2021 07:57

I loved Modern Love and recommend it to everyone.

I am half way through Firefly Lane and I really like it. Easy to watch!

Am really enjoying Brothers and Sisters thanks to this thread.
I also enjoyed Little Fires Everywhere

WellTidy · 12/03/2021 17:59

Just finished Firefly Lane. I wonder what the story is behind the cliffhanger? I did really enjoy it (and will watch series 2 whenever it gets made!) but I agree that This Is Us is in a league of its own in comparison.

Brothers and Sisters next!

Oh I've just started brothers and sisters. I can't believe it's twelve years old. Ally Mcbeal hasn't changed! Good watch

RockingMyFiftiesNot · 12/03/2021 18:38

@mrsnw it doesn't feel dated either does it?

WhoAreYah · 12/03/2021 19:18

Greys anatomy

OrangeBananaFish · 12/03/2021 19:23

I discovered This is Us in the first lockdown nearly a year ago. I got through lockdown number 2 with Gilmore Girls. Also loved Firefly Lane. Currently watching Bitten. I really must look into Brothers and Sisters, it was on my to watch list, but just haven't got round to it yet

No it doesn't at all. I was really surprised.
