    It has a strong sense of its identity, why people are tuning in, and it delivers that without pandering or patronizing. That’s a hard thing to do, and, for all the sledgehammer emotional twists the show is known for, proves it delicately.

    It is not a coincidence that the most likable characters on This is Us are the ones that are consistently allowed to have feelings other than sadness, loss, and regret: Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson).

    Based on the premiere, it’s hard to say if This Is Us wants to change at all. Mistakes are made, but hearts are warmed. The Randall Show is alive and well--providing so many more reasons why Susan Kelechi Watson is the sneaky pick for ensemble MVP--while just about every other arc is very much under a “wait and see” status.

The pre-Christmas episodes of Season 3 have been a big trip into "Who cares?" territory. Too much backstory, not enough interesting new developments, and characters that have become painfully self-absorbed. The character assassination of Randall alone has taken the show down a few levels. Full Review »

The story's continue to be extremely heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I still cry all the time. The writing and storylines continue to be exceptional. The cast continues to give phenomenal and beautiful performances especially from Milo Ventimiglia, Chrissy Metz, Mandy Moore, Michael Angarano, Sterling K. Brown, Chris Sullivan, Justin Hartley, Eris Baker, Susan Kelechi Watson, Melanie Liburd, Jon Huertas, Porter Duong, Logan Shroyer, Hannah Zeile, Parker Bates, Lyric Ross, Faithe Herman, Mackenzie Hancsicsak, Griffin Dunne, Ron Cephas Jones, Niles Fitch, and Lonnie Chavis. Even though this season at times has been a little all over the place this is still another remarkable season and another A+. Full Review »
