This is Us should probably end this season. If it did, it could be GOAT period TV drama.

The show feels complete. What else possibly needs to be explored that they won’t hit this season?

Kate gonna be fat forever.
Kevin internalizes paint on road to recovery.
Randall is dealing and coping.
Rebecca found happiness with Miguel.
Jack story complete. I seen enough.

I got enough backstory and closure. Emotionally manipulative show but good. I don’t need to know what comes next for them.

Their major drama was revealed and it’s been dealt with. Good story.

I must be the only one who finds this show meh. I liked the first episode and there were legit feels, but now it just seems like every episode is designed to wrench tears. I'm not into emotionally manipulative shows b/c I don't have a vagina. When I see all these people saying how mediocre an episode was b/c they DIDN'T cry, I know there is something wrong.

I'd definitely be ok if they ended it, but it's network tv and they're going to milk that cash cow. I predict most of this board will lose interest soon. I'm quite surprised that this many of y'all watch it to begin with.

They can only manipulate tears so long. I agree it should end. But we all know they’re gonna start doing forward flashes so we can see all the kids future deaths.

Kate will die at McDonalds
Randall will die from a foster kid stabbing him
Kevin will OD
Miguel will kill Rebecca with his big ole wang.

Show sucks, end it

I have a wife and the show is well acted. I appreciate that from it.

I just have no idea why this show needs to continue. I feel it’s complete. Randall story come full circle with his kid flash forward. I’m good. Don’t need anything else.

You're not. Granted the only part I've seen was some of the post Superbowl episode. But I was like "this is cheesy and dumb." Written to try to make people cry and it was just laughable to me.

“I already feel like I’m already running out of time. You ever think of yourself as an old man? Like sometimes I try and I can’t. I think it’s hard for myself to picture myself outliving Dad, you know. It goes quick bro. He has already been gone 20 years. He has already been gone longer than we had him.”

The show plays on people’s base emotions of time, death and loss that everyone can relate to. From that dialogue perspective it’s well written but I think it pushes the button way too often.

Personally, I think Jack is a bad father who failed to prepare his children for life.

Season 1 was excellent. Season 2 has been good, but not great.

Wife watches this and what I've seen is decent, good acting all around though I don't get all the accolades for the fat chick. She's super overdramatic.

My wife watches it and I saw a few episodes in the beginning but I can’t stand it and refuse to even be in the same room with it on now.

It’s the same thing, over and over and OVER!

“Wah, wah, I’m a pathetic addict.”

“Wah, wah, I’m fat.”

“Wah, wah, our dad died”.

That’s it. That’s the whole show. Nobody evolves, there aren’t new themes, just the same complaints and crying, week after fricking week.

I HATE that show.

It'll probably go for a few more seasons. The creator said he already has a plan for all of the characters and knows how/when it'll end. I don't think it's meant to last 10 years or anything like that.
