This is Us: Das ist Leben

Think the World Will be a better place if most People would watch this show.

I just finished watching the series finale last night. This is a show about the human condition. Not every decision they made on this show jived with me. In my opinion there is too much Randall (not enough Kate and Kevin) and the Toby fiasco in season 6 made me so mad... but life is full of its ups and downs too.

The cast in this show is very good, definitely deserving of their nominations. The story itself is heartwarming. I cried more watching this show than most! From the births of children (some with disabilities), to an Alzheimer's decline and the deaths of parents, these struggles are all things people deal with.

This is a show about all of us. A gem.

I think that kleenex owes this guy a percentage of the sellings! This awesome, fantastic, heartbreaking, intelligent, touching, sincere, unforgettable show will be forever in our lives, at least in mine!!

Soooo special, the script, the actors,the characters had been elaborated with such delicate ways, each one of them means a whole world.

This show has made my life better for sure....thank you,thank you, thank you ALL OF YOU.

I think we can all admit that it's hard to create a show that stands out, As we are at a time where television is at it's pinnacle point. So when I started this show I was expecting a mildly entertaining series. What I got, is, a show that is real. So much so, that it brought tears to my eyes. That should tell you all you need to know about this beautiful tale about life. The story revolves around a few characters that seem to be unrelated. Just like the facts that were stated in the beginning of the show. However they have more in common than you realize. What sets this show apart from most, isn't the ending, But the journey you take in-between. As someone who's seen many new shows this year, both comedy and drama, I can say with absolute certainty, this is the most memorable. Not only because of it's outstanding story telling but because of it's cast, who bring life to the story.

Three days ago I finally broke down and watched This Is Us. I think I was afraid it was going to be corny and maudlin...which it absolutely is, sometimes. But I wanted to watch a show that was wholesome and decent...and it absolutely is. There's no violence or profanity. No embarrassing sex scenes. And yet it is entertaining. So yes. I am now bingeing on This Is Us on Netflix.

I don't really have a favorite character (if I did it would be Kevin). But I do have a favorite actor: Sterling Brown. Come on! He plays Randall and he can play him straight, goofy, or intellectual, and he can turn each emotion on at the drop of a dime. He's a super talented actor in a cast of very talented actors. Right now, I'm at the end of season 3 and poor Beth (Randall's wife) did not get to have her secret 24-hour alone-time break from Randall and the fam. I was so disappointed for Beth, because she really needed that break.

Anyway, I have cried more times than I care to count watching this show. It's really good. 😂 However, if family strife and family togetherness are not your things, you might skip it. It took me all these years to discover this beautiful little gem of a show.
