This Is Us is a refreshing respite from the relational violence and pessimism that marks the other buzz soaps that have bubbled forth from a culture of divisiveness.
Thank you, NBC, for filling the Parenthood-sized hole in my heart.
It checks off all the right boxes for me: great writing, great performances, cringe-worthy bits of brutal honesty, heartwarming moments, heart-shattering moments and a beautiful sense that everything in the universe might somehow be connected.
There is comedy and tragedy in This Is Us; you will laugh, you will cry.
All the acting is equally good, something you can't say about most ensemble-cast shows.
There's a lot here that puts me in wait-and-see mode. But the biggest moments landed (even more on second viewing, actually), and I could use a new Parenthood in my life.
