I’ve been sticking with “This is Us” since it premiered a few years back mainly because I am a huge fan of Milo Ventimiglia (“Heroes” R.I.P.); however, when season 3 started up in the fall I found myself dreading watching it. I’m sure there are plenty of other people out there who cry at least once during every single episode. And crying is not fun! I know that I end up loving every episode, but I was just really not looking forward to the tears this fall.
With that, I decided to binge watch them all. I know, I know. VERY STUPID IDEA. So about a week ago I started going through the first nine episodes of season 3, and I’m proud to say there were only tears two times! There was a lot of back and forth within episodes between Jack in Vietnam and all of the rest of the Pearson clans problems. Such problems include: IVF, depression, losing a job, running for city council, coming out, and really awkward dinners (like, lots of them). I was pretty excited to see Jack’s brother Nicky this season, although he turned out to be a big jerk and SPOILER ALERT – alive! Overall, the episodes were pretty good, and where episode nine left off has me excited for it to come back on January 15th.
I say all that, but this show is almost too much, so I can’t say I’m sad there’s only one season left. Hate me š
