Memphis

What an amazing episode, full of emotions that I believe we all have for ourselves and our close ones. Best episode so far, and after watching tons of shows, this is the one that brings out raw emotions, and that is irreplaceable. Just keep on doing the great job of being honest about real life!

If this episode does not get to you, you have no soul. This show is the complete package that everything else on TV, cable, and any other outlet as to look at and and be very, very jealous of. Ron gives an acting lesson on every episode, and on this one, I am truly sad to see him go. I hope they have flashbacks and remembrances of him on future episodes.

This is probably the most poetic television episode I've seen in my life. That is all.

"This is Us" is an incredibly good show; touching, beautiful, smart, artistic, well-told, well-acted, well-produced... But this episode! I can't find the correct words for it. It's all-out perfection. Imagine one very powerful emotion (that consists of all your emotions) wrapped up inside you, and suddenly it explodes and all your emotions flow out. That's the closest I can describe this episode.

Story? Amazing. Conversations? Not a single word wasted. Acting? World-class. Cuts between scenes? So correctly adjusted that your emotions will no way of staying inside anymore. Camera angles, lighting, perspective; all as perfect as humanly possible. And finally; music? Read carefully: They freaking wrote masterpiece of a blues song for this episode. This is how incredible this episode is. THEY WROTE A MASTERPIECE SONG FOR A TV SHOW EPISODE!

After seeing this, I don't know if I'll ever be satisfied with TV again.

In general, 'This is Us' is brilliant. The way the stories are woven with the present and the past generally has me awed, glued, connected. This though...this episode moved me deep in my spirit. I bawled! Ugly, hurt but accepting tears. That's not even the right expression but I am just so overcome with emotion. So poignant. There are not a lot of episodes and shows like this on television. Simply exquisite.
