For starters, this is not true to the books, which I read repeatedly and not like the original series either, but...the visuals are magnificent and Anne is a character that is so complex, I marvell at the acting range of someone so young able to pull it off so seamlessly. I am transported back to my childhood, when I still found the "Wonder" in things. I am reminded that true Joy is found in simple things, like the warmth of the sun, the cool breeze on a sweaty face, the sand in my toes, climbing trees and just being a child, before the technological evolution. These are the things the youngest children of our time are in fear of missing out on, as there muscles wither away sitting in front of screens. Where did the "wonder" go? This show reminds me, and even though my life is complicated and busy, I can still "wonder" at nature, and my children's smiling faces, and the many other things I stopped seeing.

Wow, what a come back for TV Drama. This is a multi layered, moving and totally relate-able show and so so entertaining. I am already so invested and have only watched two episodes. The leading cast are amazing with some of my all time favorites (looking at you Milo) and supporting cast seem more than adequate to keep up. The writers have their finger to pulse of what is really important to people today and throughout all of time... LOVE. It ticks so many boxes for me. I have been waiting for a show that I can safely watch with kids in the room, without soft porn, violence, bad language, and in general inappropriate story lines. This incredible show proves to be not too soppy, funny enough to break tension, loads of character diversity, Mandy Moore, I mean so many more reasons to fall in love with "This Is Us". That is all. Peace out

This pilot was just truly awful. I am a great fan of MacGyver, but within 10 minutes I was throwing things at the TV. Never have I so looked forward to and been so disappointed by a remake. It is so bad it is not even worth giving any details about the episode in case you get curious and give it a go, honestly waste your time on something else.

I am not normally a critic but I felt so strongly about this I just had to put it down to save others the disappointment. I hope for the actors sake, this doesn't go to air for the full amount of episodes so they might not carry the shame and humiliation of being apart of it. Even if it gets better, it has to come back from so far it will not make it even passable. Okay; rant over; and to cleanse myself I will watch the pilot for the original series and return to how TV is supposed be...

entertaining.
