Don't Let Me Keep You

What an episode... I am blown away by the breathtaking writing and acting of 'Don't Let Me Keep You'. It was so heavy and moving that I cried several times in a row alone on my couch. It was a pure emotional moment and only This Is Us knows how to do it that way and it feels good. Simply like that.

Thank you.

Me neither Jack :(

It's been 16 years since my mom died and it's still hurt like it was yesterday. I had a great relationship with my mom, even though I was only 9 when she passed away. She was so loving, caring, thoughtful, and generous. She would cry if she saw us hurt. Although my dad did an amazing job of being a single father, no one will ever be able to fill this hole in our life. I love you mom, thinking of you always :( Please if you still have a mother, call her or go to her and tell her how much you love her before it's too late.

Heartbreakingly stunning performances by the cast in this episode. So emotional in the best possible way. My mother and I have been watching the series together from the beginning, and we are going to miss this incredible show.

Just an incredible episode, one of the best of the series in my opinion. The pure, raw emotion is what hooked me to this is us, and this episode was full of that. Jack's farewell to his mother hit me hard, and in a stand out scene from the series. Happy to see the show return to its roots and find its place again for the final season. Looking forward to what's ahead.

The final season of This Is Us got off to a sort of boring start, re-hashing the same old plot lines, and Sterling K. Brown hamming it up more than ever. This episode is an example of the best that this series has ever had to offer to its viewers. Extremely well-written and directed, it explores Jack's relationship with his mother, who he rescued from an abusive life with his unyielding father. Beautifully acted by Milo Ventimiglia, with excellent support from the wonderful Camryn Manheim as his cousin, Jim Cody Williams as his mother's friend, and, finally, Laura Niemi in a moving performance as Marilyn, Jack's mother. Not to be missed by the fans of this series, and not easily forgotten. It may haunt you long after you see it.
