This Is Us	comment	This Is Us is a dramedy series aired by NBC that started in 2016 and ended in 2022 after six seasons.Created by Dan Fogelman (best known for Crazy, Stupid, Love and Tangled), it tells the story of four characters all turning thirty-six years old on the same day: Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia), who turns thirty-six on the day his wife Rebecca (Mandy Moore) gives birth to triplets. Jack's first born Kevin (Justin Hartley), a troubled sitcom actor Jack's second born Kate (Chrissy Metz), Kevin's twin sister who struggles with weight. Jack's adopted son Randall (Sterling K. Brown), a successful businessman who finally decides to meet his biological father.As disparate as their stories may seem, it's revealed at the end of the pilot that something greater than their shared birthday ties them together: Jack and Rebecca's story is set from the 1970s to the 1990s; Kevin, Kate, and Randall's stories are set in the present day.

This Is Us / int_17501df2	comment	Cool Old Guy: Dr. K Once he cleans up a bit and becomes slightly less grouchy, Nicky is definitely this â€“ he's not afraid to call a spade a spade, can verbally match wits with Kevin and is a good enough friend to Cassidy â€“ who's about 30 years his junior â€“ that they continue to attend AA meetings together as friends months after Kevin leaves. Few people wouldn't consider William Hill the coolest man they've ever seen. He manages to charm just about everyone around him, dresses well for a poor man, is a gifted poet, musician and chess player, has a boyfriend and gives effortless advice. Being that they're somewhere between 50-53 at the end of the series, Kevin and Randall (and even Toby) become this.

This Is Us / int_19209d54	comment	Sibling Rivalry: Kevin and Randall had one as kids that extended to adults, but it's clear that both sides desperately want each other's respect and opinion but can't seem to get on the same page. The resentment from both sides results in a fight on the streets of New York that Seth Meyers inadvertently witnesses.

This Is Us / int_19d1c1ae	comment	Always Someone Better: Kevin and Randall each feel this way about the other, fueling their Sibling Rivalry. Kevin resents Randall for being smarter, more successful and receiving more attention from their parents. Randall resents Kevin for being more charming and popular, as well as for being the natural-born son when he feels like a Replacement Goldfish. Randall references this in the Season 4 finale, "Strangers: Part Two", in which he flat-out tells Kevin that he has been chasing Randall, not Jack, and that Kevin will never be as good as Randall.

Obviously, the fact that they divorced young and haven't spoken since they were 24 showed that they didn't last, but Kevin apparently still harbors feelings for her.

This Is Us / int_20989d05	type	Parents as People
This Is Us / int_20989d05	comment	Parents as People: This show is basically Parents As People: The TV Show. Rebecca gets this a lot. Throughout the Big Three's childhood, she is well aware that she usually has to play the bad cop while Jack is the infallible, fun and caring dad. This is even more compounded after his death; Jack is immortalized as a hero, and the kids continuously imagine how much better it would be if Jack were still alive, while Rebecca, who is alive, has to screw up over and over by constantly saying the wrong things, making poor decisions and overall doing things that the kids simply assume Jack would never do. When Kevin is in rehab, Rebecca full-on admits that she loved Randall more, because he was "easier" to love. While most parents would never admit that they loved one child over another, Rebecca's angst at the reality â€“ that Kevin recoiled from her and rejected her and she was too sensitive to take it in stride â€“ is very true to life for many mothers. Randall and Beth seem like perfect parents at the outset, but even they're not immune to this. Beth has a tendency to take her frustrations out on their kids, and many times they're so wrapped up in their world to notice things, like Tess's confusion about her sexuality or Deja's desire to see her birth mother. Kate and Toby are very quickly becoming this as they learn to balance life, marriage and raising a baby with special needs.

This Is Us / int_23f1384a	comment	Babies Make Everything Better: Played With. Joe, the firefighter who found baby Randall, considered adopting him himself because among other problems in his marriage, his wife Samantha had trouble conceiving. Joe figured that if they adopt the baby, their marriage might improve, but she wasn't convinced. However, she was touched by the idea, and decides to give their marriage another shot and convinces Joe to take the baby to the hospital. While they didn't keep the baby, the intention was enough for them to try to save their relationship. Inverted with Kate and Toby, who are a good match with an imperfect marriage. When they have a baby, him being a premature baby with special needs ends up only making their relationship much more complicated. They eventually divorce, but this actually ends up making them better parents.

He lies to his dad about having gambling debts and being a disappointment as his dad expected so he would get money from him. However, he appears to have inherited the alcoholism. Even though Randall is adopted, he has quite a bit in common with Jack, including his tendency to push through his mental health issues and pretend to be OK in order to be seen as a provider, and a tendency toward big, grand gestures for those he loves.

It's also one to Parenthood in the similar family saga vein and poignant moments. For some older viewers, the show also harkens back to thirtysomething, about adults in their late 30s. (Ken Olin, who starred in Thirtysomething, serves as producer/director for This Is Us.)

Rebecca sussed him out shortly after she adopted Randall; he did want to be a part of his son's life as he sobered up, but she refused, largely fearing that he would take his son back. Jack's abusive father walked out on him and his mother when Jack was a teen and after he prevented her from getting a beating. It says a lot that when Jack seeks him out, he hides his wedding ring and lies that the money he needs is for paying off gambling debt.

This Is Us / int_48e8fe57	comment	Happily Adopted: Zig-zagged with Randall. The Pearsons gave him a great life for which he was incredibly grateful, and on paper, he probably would have been better off with them than with a then-unstable William and a (presumably) dead Laurel. He genuinely bonds with and loves his family, even though his relationship with Kevin is rockier. But this is deconstructed throughout the series as Randall explores his identity, and confesses that he felt tremendous pressure to always express gratitude as an adoptee, that he longed to know his biological parents and would spend long nights as a child imagining life with them. As he began attending a transracial adoptee support group, he learned that these feelings were common, and he confessed to Kevin that his "ghost kingdom" fantasy made him feel guilty. Played a bit more straight with Deja. She has some obvious trauma from her life with Shauna, especially when Shauna gives up her parental rights. For the most part, she happily integrates into the Pearson family after that, although it's not without complications â€“ she misses Shauna a lot, and is sad to see that she's doing so well without her; she accuses Randall and Beth of "taking her" from her mom; and, because she has lived a very "adult" life at a young age, she sometimes leverages that and believes she is more ready for adulthood than she actually is.

And then a Walter Cronkite news broadcast pulls back to reveal hospital staff and patients dressed in '70s attire, meaning Jack turned thirty-six in 1980; Kevin, Kate, and Randall are his children, and their stories are showing their present day lives as adults. In the second episode, "The Big Three": Present-day Rebecca is married to Jack's best friend Miguel while still wearing the necklace Jack gave her. Randall's kids call them "Grandma and Grandpa". The start of the third episode, "Kyle", as Rebecca and Jack are leaving the hospital and she sees William, revealing they knew each other all along. Jack's urn when Toby asks Kate if he could meet her dad. In the first midseason finale Toby collapsing in the living room after Christmas dinner. In the season two premiere, "A Father's Advice", the burned Pearson house on the night of Jack's death. The smoke detector with the batteries missing in "Clooney". After finally revealing the story behind Jackâ€™s death, the show introduces its new twist as an older Randall greets the social worker we saw earlier in the season telling a young boy a foster family has been found for him, revealing her to be an adult Tess. The final moments of the Season 5 finale, "The Adirondacks", — we jump ahead five years, and get two back-to-back bombshells as we learn that Kate and Toby will divorce, and Kate is about to marry Phillip, the teacher she works with.

This Is Us / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: The pilot episode had a slightly different feel to it than the rest of the series. Most of the episode had a deadpan, comedic mood to it, with a few dramatic scenes sprinkled in. It also had a lot less background music than subsequent episodes, which gave it a quicker, more disjointed pace. The first season in general, although well-received, is tonally very different from later seasons, especially the third and fourth. It's a lot more overwritten and dialogue-heavy with snappy, too-clever retorts, whereas the writing style in later seasons is now considerably more lived-in and comfortable with longer silences, shorter sentences and slightly more realistic dialogue.

In the 1990s, he keeps the mustache and a goatee while maintaining a decade-appropriate version of the shaggy hair. As Vulture helpfully listed, Jack's facial hair is the key to figuring out the correct time period.

Kate refers to the "2006 AFC Championship Game" as the game where the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Denver Broncos to advance to the Super Bowl. While the game technically was played in the year 2006, most American football fans refer to the playoff games in the context of the season which it succeeds. Thus, most fans would likely refer to the aforementioned Steelers-Broncos game as the "2005 AFC Championship Game," since it was played between the 2005 Steelers and the 2005 Broncos.

When the family heads to the pool, Kevin nearly drowned in the deep end trying to get Jack's attention and even yells at him for not watching him. As an adult, he bitterly calls out Randall for being Rebecca's favorite. Kevin's feelings about not being paid enough attention as a child is probably the reason he became an actor as an adult.

Specific episodes also zero in on this concept even more. For example, "The Big Day" centers on the previous 24 hours in the lives of Jack, Rebecca, Dr. K, and Joe just before the events of the pilot. The episode shows that Joe considered adopting baby Randall himself to fix his marriage problems but brought him to the hospital instead so he can work things out with his wife.

This Is Us / int_8391b1c7	comment	Artistic License â€“ Law: Randallâ€™s birth mother was sentenced to five years prison for a first offense drug possession charge, and was transferred from Pennsylvania to a California prison. Simple possession charges are almost always state offenses, and local police came to arrest her. Pennsylvania has a maximum of one year for simple possession, and with no prior record her sentence would very likely be probation or just a fine and court costs. And since itâ€™s a state offense, she canâ€™t be transferred to another state. Even in the exceptionally unlikely event the feds would prosecute a first offense simple possession charge, their maximum penalty for simple possession is also one year incarceration. Also related to Laurel â€“ a little-known fact about the American adoption system is that when someone is legally adopted, their birth certificate and any proof on paper that they are related to their birth parents (or any biological family) are permanently altered. Randall does not even have any paper proof of who his birth parents are, since he would not have had a birth certificate with William or Laurel's names on it. Does it mean he is any less their child? Not at all. But it also means him magically "owning" Laurel's farmhouse is a bit more complicated, considering he is not identified as her next-of-kin.

It does seem as though most Genre Savvy viewers have caught on to this technique, however, and rarely take potential plot twists at face value anymore. Jack's death is probably the biggest example; all signs point to him dying in the house fire itself after he goes back inside to save the family dog, but he — and the dog — end up making it out of the house. It's a heart attack brought on by smoke inhalation that kills him.

This Is Us / int_89434320	type	Protagonist-Centered Morality
This Is Us / int_89434320	comment	Protagonist-Centered Morality: The show is definitely written from the Pearsons' point of view, with their emotional needs and wants superseding those of other characters. Examples of this would include Kevin bailing on the play and screwing Sloane over, Randall's hatred of Sanjay for no more than doing his job, Kate sneaking into Toby's ex-wife's life, and Rebecca's conniption in the grocery store. This is somewhat lampshaded in "The Fifth Wheel," when Beth, Toby, and Miguel all agree that marrying into the Pearson family required them to accept their high-maintenance ways. Taken to an extreme in "The Waiting Room," where the writing seems to justify the Pearsons being complete dicks to the hospital staff and another person in the waiting room. * As the show goes on, this is played with much more; the Pearsons come into situations where they seem to be in the wrong but forge on in a headstrong way; when it becomes so obvious that theyâ€™re wrong, another character will hang a lampshade, like Madison, who points out that Kate is being a bit selfish in how she perceives Tobyâ€™s grief, or in Dr. Leigh, Randallâ€™s therapist, who calls out Randallâ€™s coping mechanisms unhealthy (and he then proceeds to defy her anyway, even after what seems like a breakthrough).

We see characters whom we haven't seen in a few years, including William and Dr. K. Weird meta example: In the finale, "Us," we see character iterations we haven't seen all season: Kevin, Randall and Kate when they're around 10-12. This stage of Pearson memories was largely left out of the sixth season because the three actors who played the Big Three had gone through puberty and now looked significantly too old, particularly Mackenzie Hancsicsak (young Kate) who had already gotten visibly taller than her on-screen brothers, than Hannah Zeile (teenage/young adult Kate) and even Chrissy Metz herself. However, the show took a pragmatic approach and had filmed scenes with them several years ahead, giving the audience one last chance to say good-bye to them to the show.

A lot of Toby's overbearing behaviors and Kate's internalized resentments in the first couple seasons now come across more as red flags and signs of incompatibility, whereas these things were mostly interpreted on first watch as a mainly happy couple working through issues and finding their footing.

This Is Us / int_9c8701b5	comment	A Day in the Limelight: "The Big Day" shines a light on the day before the pilot, spending 24 hours in the lives of Dr. K and Joe the firefighter before they showed up at the hospital. "Memphis" centers in on William's life before he met Randall's biological mother. Randall and William spend his final hours together in Memphis, meeting his long-lost biological extended family, and being at William's side when he finally passes away. The three episodes leading up to the season 2 midseason finale are titled "Number One," "Number Two," and "Number Three," and focus on Kevin, Kate, and Randall respectively. The show does this more as time goes on, both with established characters and minor, mystery characters. The fourth season premiere, "Strangers", focuses largely on Malik and his backstory before establishing him as Deja's classmate and crush, on Cassidy's life in and after the military and on adult Jack Damon as he navigates his singing career and marriage. We've also had a single episode focused on Toby's childhood and adolescence and his battles with depression. In 'Our Little Island Girl' we get an episode focused almost entirely on Beth's childhood as a dance student and college-bound teenager. There's also a Season 2 episode focused entirely on Deja and her life with her mom and great-grandmother, doubling as a How We Got Here as the third act intersects with where we last saw Randall and Beth â€“ finding Deja and Shauna sleeping in their car.

Kevin, Kate, and Randall are played by three different sets of actors: the present day adults, the 1990s teenagers, and the 1980s children. Another set of toddlers is added in Season 4. 1960s-1970s William is played by Jermel Nakia. Vietnam-era Nicky is portrayed by Michael Angarano; present-day Nicky is not aged up like Moore and Ventimiglia but instead is played by Griffin Dunne.

This Is Us / int_bb18a227	type	It's All About Me
This Is Us / int_bb18a227	comment	It's All About Me: Kevin has a tendency to make matters about himself, partially because of his longstanding feelings about Randall and Kate getting more attention from their parents and feeling left out. He usually does mean well when supporting his siblings, but sometimes his ego gets in the way. Subverted when he fires Kate as his personal assistant after she takes a call from him while getting it on with Toby. That's a degree of codependence that even he's not comfortable with. As the seasons go on, Randall shows these tendencies as well, specifically with his need to be the hero in every situation, like when he takes Deja to the community centre and spends most of his time trying to fix the problems and advocate for the community members, instead of just integrating and meeting people. Kate has a tendency to do this as well, particularly when sheâ€™s grieving or going through a difficult time. Notably, she frequently shuts Toby out or sees his tendency to deal with grief differently as a sign that heâ€™s not grieving at all. She even argues that her miscarriage â€œdidnâ€™t happen toâ€� Toby, not realizing until later that he lost a child too.

This Is Us / int_bbc77bb5	type	Hard Truth Aesop
This Is Us / int_bbc77bb5	comment	Hard Truth Aesop: The show has a few morals and themes that aren't often portrayed in family-friendly dramas, including: Sometimes divorce is a healthier option than staying together â€“ and you will all be better people for it in the end. Adoption isn't always straightforward, and adoptees don't always have to feel unconditional gratitude for being "chosen." It's good to try and understand your child when they're coming to grips with their sexual/gender identity, but they don't have to reward you just for "trying," and it's hard for them to know that you have to try so hard with them. Sometimes we say things to our children that we don't realize will damage them, and even though we don't mean it, that still doesn't erase the damage it does. Trying to use shame as a motivator for losing weight might not help you actually lose the weight â€“ and will probably ruin your relationship with food. Step-parents can be very important figures in your life, and co-parenting without stigma ensures a happier life for your children than making them resent their step-parents.

Randall's hallucination of Jack even states that the marriage wasn't perfect and that he certainly wasn't perfect. Randall and Beth are a genuinely happy couple with good communication. Although they do have a massive fight that almost threatens their marriage, but they end up resolving it through compromise that brings them back to the same page.

This Is Us / int_c868a42a	type	Freudian Excuse
This Is Us / int_c868a42a	comment	Freudian Excuse: It is implied that the root of Kate's problems with Rebecca came down to competing for Jack's attention and love. The fact that Rebecca was slim and beautiful didn't help matters either. Although Kevin initially comes off as self-absorbed and attention-seeking, as the series goes on, flashbacks from childhood reveal that his It's All About Me tendencies come from never being regarded as the â€œspecialâ€� one of the Big Three. Rebecca defends Randall with all her being, Jack is Kateâ€™s biggest defender, and Kevin tends to get pass off as just the cute one or the good athlete. Kate has an inability to recognize healthy versus unhealthy displays of love, which come both from the fact that as a chubby girl, she never had anyone express interest in her when she was young, and that Jack's over-the-top, often overcompensating displays of affection toward Rebecca gave her a skewed idea on what counts as love. It's almost no wonder she doesn't pick up on the red flags of Mark's emotionally abusive tendencies, because she views things like showing up unannounced at dinnertime and easily becoming jealous as passion. Not to mention, early in their courtship, Toby actually displays similar behaviours to Mark's "red flags" (like showing up to her family event unannounced, wanting her to focus more of her attention on him), albeit with less insidious intentions, and Kate doesn't even realize they're unhealthy. Comes up (and is referenced explicitly) with Randall and his therapist, Dr. Leigh. After confessing many of his feelings about his family and his childhood to her, she asserts that he has a number of unresolved issues regarding his mother and their relationship, particularly her concealment of the identity of his birth father. Dr. Leigh points out that it's not common for Black men who can afford to choose their therapist to choose a white female therapist â€“ and with Dr. Leigh also being around the age Rebecca was when Jack died, she asserts that Randall may be subconsciously trying to resolve his issues with Rebecca through her.

While his upbringing was generally loving and supportive, a season five episode touches on the then recent cases of police brutality against Black men (directly mentioning George Floyd) and Randall has a discussion with his white sister about his adoptive family not preparing him well enough for those kinds of social justice issues facing people like him.

No year is specified, but given that Nick II, Franny and Hayley (born in 2020) all appear to be pre-teens and Deja (who was 16 in 2021) is now a medical resident, we have to assume it's around 2031-32.
