This is Us (Spoilers)

It's decent. Worth watching the second episode I guess.

TWIST

I liked it too. Nice twist there at the end.

I laughed at the skinny girl in the fat people support group

I didn't watch but heard good things. Now I want to know the twist though.

Thought it was great. Dr scene was very well done.

Loved it!

I'm SO glad I went in blind and didn't know anything about there even being the possibility of a twist. When it happened - don't want to spoil it - I was all "NO WAY!!!!".

I just read an article that referred to the show as "Generation X and Y's 'thirtysomething'" - so great.

We loved it. Very impressed.

Surprised to see all the good reviews here. From the trailers it just looked like the most cliched drama ever. Maybe I'll have to check it out

Same here. Previews looked like a high production soap opera with all the cliched storylines

I really enjoyed it, and the twist at the end was great. It may be my postpartum hormones, but that pilot gave me the feels.

Can't wait to see how they tell the stories now, I plan on setting my dvr to record the series.

It wasn't awful but it wasn't great either. The acting so far has been cheesy at times with some cringe worthy lines.

*** SPOILERS ***

For example, I couldn't determine if the fat dude was being funny or downright creepy when he walked the fat girl up to her front door after their date. I mean, he asked her if she'd invite him inside for a handy! I was like, "WTF?"

He was very sexually aggressive with her and instead of her being turned off by it, she acted as if she was the issue and on top of that the show made it seem like they were falling in love.

The time traveling twist at the end was pretty good. It caught us off guard. We were like, "Whoa, this is happening in two different time periods. That's pretty cool! OMG...they're the parents of these three people! I did not expect that!"

So, while it was at times pretty good, it was also pretty bad too.
