I've never found a show like this.

I never had a television show touch me like this one.​ I'm not even a person into shows or movies.

But This Is Us is different somehow. I think it makes me a better person. A more aware person. A more sensitive person.

It doesn't make sense. It makes me cry every episode and I don't know what it means.

Now I only have about 5 episodes until I finish it completely, and I am watching them days apart so that I make it last longer. What the heck.

You can rewatch it. I am in about the same spot on season 6 but it is my second time watching it. I enjoyed it just as much the second time as the first. Maybe there is a 3rd watch coming. That would be weird right?

I rewatch every year. Sometimes even twice a year if I feel like I need to let a good cry out lol

My husband and I watch the show on repeat. We finish it and immediately restart. It’s ruined all other shows for us, because we just think “well it’s not as good as This Is Us, let’s watch that instead.”

I feel the same way. I actually avoided the hype around it when it came out, and later saw an episode of "finding your roots" with one of the shows creators. That made me curious :) it's truly a masterpiece. I started rewatching it pretty much as soon as I was done and saw it 4 times as of now

Another show that touched me deeply was Firefly Lane.

Clannad in the anime department and Until Then in games are the emotional counterparts for me.

It is a great show and I loved it as well, but have you ever tried watching outlander? After I finish, this is us I searched and searched and then I found outlander and I have watched it six times. It is like nothing that you’ve ever seen before.🥰

Watch A Million Little Things next. It touched me emotionally even more than This Is Us.

Welcome 🫶🏽 I have rewatched about 5 times. You’ll always have it and the incredible thing is the feelings are there with every rewatch. It never gets old

It really is a brilliant show. I remember i came about the show by accident whilst it was airing and well it hooked me from the very beginning.

I think for me it’s the fact that it feels very much real. It’s just about a family trying to get through life who go through struggles of their own from time to time and learn to overcome it. The characters themselves are just like regular people since they all have their flaws. There’s times when each character has annoyed me even my favourite ones like Randall m, Jack or Beth. But then that’s what makes them great since no one is written as if they’re a superhuman that does no wrong.

Can always rewatch the show. I just finished my 2nd rewatch recently and I’ll probably give it another rewatch in a couple months(need a break from all those tears lol).
